Bought today Orange Pi PC board to mess around with. Built an image from jerjejsk git. First impressions:

1. It can actually play video!

2. Tested with my DVBSky S960 satellite DVB tuner. It works well. I used VDR + VNSI + OSCam.

GUI is slow compared to RPi3 - looks like it is limited to 10 fps of something like that. On RPi there is an option in "Player"-->"Videos"-->"Processing"-->"Limit GUI updates during playback" and when it is set to "Unlimited" - GUI is very smooth. Is it possible to implement it here?

For starters, connect via ssh to your NUC and run ir-keytable command.

I think SMB chunk size could be the issue here. This is hardcoded in Kodi, so no easy way to change it. If you can set up an LE build system you can try to build some images with an increased SMB chunk size (256K, 512K...).

Found a similar issue with Gemini Lake here.

Why RC3 ..?

Because kernel 5.0-rc3 is the newest one?

Try kernel 5.0-rc3 build

White or Yellow

They are supposed to be green and grey, at least with the default skin.

If "Sync playback to display" is enabled - disable it. If "Adjust display refresh rate" is disabled - enable it.

What version of LibreELEC?

Both files play fine over SMB on my Pi 3. LibreELEC, Milhouse build #0118.

Can you upload a small sample video?

Make sure 25Hz modes are not whitelisted.

25Hz mode should not normally be enabled in the first place. 50Hz is the correct mode for displaying 25fps video.

Exclude 25Hz from the whitelist.

jahutchi I tested your patch with kernel 4.19.14 and I can confirm that it fixed the issue. Thank you!

I do not have that much stage knowledge, but "a little" is how much? 1.4 GHz is 3b+, which already OC (like Athenon Black Edition, am i right?), so 1.5 GHz? 1.6 GHz?

As much as it will handle. Also, gpu_freq and sdram_freq are just as important as arm_freq.

10-bit 1080p HEVC works on Raspberry Pi 3 with LE 9.

Get a Raspberry Pi 3 B+.

Quote from XGamer23

but, in my country people are selling those for such an unreasonable price

Why not import it from China for a reasonable price? Way better option than buying a crappy videocard for a crappy PC

Raspberry Pi 3B+ is a great choice if you don't need 4K.
