Serial cable is your friend. First issue:

and then just log everything from serial console to som ...

Could it be because of some hardware connected to usb, maybe drivers issue or lack of usb power? I suspect dvb-t tuner (ite9135). I can't remember any single hang without tuner connected. When it's connected, sometimes mouse stops working or system hangs as I described.

I'm not sure anything though, now I'm going to test with tuner not connected and see what happens

P.S. what kind of serial cable? Is there a serial port to conmect cable? Or I need usb to serial connector?

Well, I don't know any other way. I debugged most of the issues that way. I can wait, if you are interested in buying one, it's just few dollars.

Please test this image (available for 14 days): https://transfer.sh/gVlO2/openel ... r23108-g97f809b.tar

Allwinner published new CedarX drivers which have slightly different memory management, which might be enough to fix channel switching issue. I also applied latest know USB fixes, so it might also solve few things.

Reports very welcome!

Last two weeks I worked on EDID resolutions. While it is not completely ready, I'm highly interested if it works on non 1080p display. Sadly, I don't have any such display at hand. I would ask anyone who has 4:3 or not 1080p capable display to give a try to this experimental update (available for 14 days): https://transfer.sh/11XxPg/opene ... r23108-g97f809b.tar

It has few issues, so it is not recommended to use it daily. To actually use automatic resolution setting, HDMI cable must be connected during power up. So if you are not sure, please reboot OpenELEC with cable inserted. I'm mostly interested if Kodi is sized perfectly (no black borders of any kind) or if there are any display issues (black screen, etc.). Please check what resolution is reported by Kodi. Along that I would like to get output of dmesg.

Little update from me - I bought samsung sd card, at the beginning, opi was shutting down(no reboot like with other sd card), even when i tried to upload update archive through ftp. After some time it started to work fine, no shutdowns/reboots for now, but had few freezes, for example, tried to disable TV in settings(wanted to reset channels after changes in PVR addon).
