LibreELEC-X8-H_Plus.arm-LE9-Kodi_18.1.img => can you try this one? this is the latest release.

Tried it, these are the results:

HARDWARE :

Minix X8H-Plus;

1)old hdmi Samsung tv/monitor "syncmaster 933hd" (only 1366x768 or 1280x720@50hz);

2)hdmi projector (up to 1080p 24hz) + Yamaha 5.1 receiver (via minix optical spdif);

working SDCARD

SOFTWARE :

LibreELEC-X8-H_Plus.arm-LE9-Kodi_18.1.img installed on (and running from) SDCARD

---All tests performed with amlogic video hwacceleration on---

Previously i had tried LE 18.0 with my old Samsung TV/monitor, it gave problems with hwacceleration on

i whitelisted 1280x720@50hz only, disabled adjust refresh rate, but system crashed soon after first video playing.

This setup still gives the same problem on 18.1

18.1 behaves exactly like 18.0:

To reproduce the crash:
keep amlogic hw video acceleration "on", set resolution to 1280x720@50 only, no adjust frame rate:
play a video (i used h264 youtube files),
try to rewind/fforward/stop it, or try to change video : system crashes/freezes. (i tested youtube and other video addons, always the same problem)

rebooted various times: nothing changes.

(only disabling hwacceleration solves the problem).

THEN
I disconnected hdmi from my Samsung TV, and connected Minix to a 1080p24hz-capable projector.
Without reinstalling LE 18.1: just switching monitors.

I whitelisted 1280@50hz, 1080p@50, 1080@60, 1080@24fps and Enabled changing resolutions and refresh.

then i switched LE18.1 to 1080@50hz

System magically starts working. tested LE18.1 playing Youtube h264 videos for 30 minutes. everything ok.
dts5.1 on spdif works (for local files only... I can't get 5.1 working for youtube).

then i put again only 720p50hz in whitelist: Old Problem returned : crash on stop/ff/rewind/ChangeVideo.... reboot, try again.... same crash

whitelisted 720p ,1080p24, 1080p60 1080p50.

Set to 720p,adjust framerate off : crashes on stop/ff/rewind/ChangeVideo.

enabled adjust framerate : still crashes on ff/stopping play

put in 1080p@50 : system magically returns to work

put back in 1280x720 : still works.

Summary: LE 18.0 and 18.1 give identical problems if minix is connected to a 1280 only tv/monitor.

They need to work at 1080p at least once after install.

Using latest "LibreELEC-X8-X8H.arm-LE9-Kodi_18.1, am I the only on that that kodi freezes up at stop/ end of program or movie with Allow hardware acceleration - amcodec > ON ? When I turn it off there are no hangups but quality is not as good.

Same situation here :

Hardware: Minix Neo X8-H Plus;

img installed (on SDCard) : "LibreELEC-X8-H_Plus.arm-Minix-edition.img" (Kodi 18.0, compiled 2019-04-02)

Hi all,

I have a x8hp(still running KitKat), and a (maybe) stupid question:

Does this LE run on armbian?

And, may I install a window manager on it?

Thanks.
