Hello All!

It seems like almost a year ago now that I originally posted this thread on Android for H3 devices in this forum... since that time a small group of us H3 fans have worked to bring you something special...

long press on 'restart' in android to boot to h3resc

only key authentication is enabled, you must add your public ssh key to /data/ssh/authorized_keys

schlauchboot: you either put it in the file: /data/rc.local or run in root console

for green linux it's about some setting in fex/h3resc, in 1.3.4 i think it got renamed to dvi or hdcp fix (in display submenu). as for the freeze, only video freezes or whole board?

Issue with 1.3.1 with orange pi pc

- Software power button not work
- Find wi-fi networks, but can't connect to any

I have this problem too, for quite some time.
Just click twice on the "30 seconds rewind" button, the video should work.
It might take some tries to make it work.
It`s related to the adaptative video quality, when it reaches a higher bitrate, video freezes.  

@RagnerBG

both Kodi and SPMC of playstore are gone android 5 or 6 please use the kodi fork for h3droid you can find here :  https://github.com/koying/SPMC/releases/tag/16.4.2-spmc/

16.1 version has been fully tested on h3droid including tvheadend frontend,  1080p won't work on boards with less than 512MB, you'll have to read the h3droid faq to trick physical screen to 720p    (  NOT H3droid fault, BSP are missing source code to correct that ).
Power management and wake with IR remote are on the todo list, so stay tuned.
