[trebor]

All in and good.
Only thing I can note for now temperature is running +5c up on previous rom
More testing.

Running for 12 hours this day...no problems solid,
Cheers

Working better then the rest i have tested.. still frames dropping on HD channels and video.
i don't use the mediacodec and just libstagefright it's better but no deinterlace so the video is kinda shaky.

[Catadarius]

Hy guys....i have a problem with kodi/spmc.
Everytime i stop an live stream channel, it close kodi/spmc.
It's not a big problem, but is verry frustrating.
It is an workaround for this?
