My Kodi has 2 profiles:

• Master Profile (Mysql DB)
• Kids profile (second Mysql DB)

When I setup kodi to start from master profile, no issues.
When I change auto logon to Kids profile, Kodi won't boot:

When I boot to master profile, then logoff (or LoadProfile) to go to kids profile, no issues.

Who knows what's happening?

DarkAllMan, can you try this image? Console is already set to see more output.

LibreELEC-imx6.arm-8.0.1-sr-3.14-cubox-i-som-v15.img.gz

Update: I got confirmation that this image boots on cubox-i with som v1.5.

I will get back to you on this... however, my time is a little limited this week.

DarkAllMan: did you enabled serial console in uEnv.txt file? It should look as......

To see more data when system boots you need to change console_arg line in uEnv.txt file on first partition on the sd card.

ok, I will have to get a spare SD for testing this. And some time as well

I tried the LibreELEC-imx6.arm-8.0.0.img.gz as well... has about the same output... it cannot read some files and cannot start kernel.

Flashed my SD with the 4.8 release. But it boots to a black screen.....

Quote from m.hueske

I don't experience these freezes. I am running 4.8 version, maybe you could try that one?
About the last video screen with the screensaver: this can be seen with 3.14 as well as 4.8. This behaviour started some month ago, I didn't figure out what changes introduced this, but I think this is more likely a Kodi issue than a LE issue.

ok, I will try that release tonight...

Hi there,
I also have a Cubox and I installed LibreELEC-imx6.arm-8.0.0-sr-3.14.img.gz, because the main libreelec version did not boot (blackscreen only).
I also have the freezes during movies. Also I noticed that when screensaver DIM kicks in, it shows the last video screen.
For instance I still see the last shot of credits of a movie... is this Kodi behaviour or is this related to this release.

Which version must I try to fix the video issue?

Still anxiously waiting for an IMX6 build.....

I fully support your initiative.
Big Q:

Will you be supporting Freescale iMX6 Builds?
I have Cubox-i2 and Cubox-i4
