    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)
