PS.. there is also a beta libreelec version for the allwinner h6 ( I read on libreelec forum )

That is fascinating news. I'm trying to track it down but if you had a link . . .

No problem. You may have to ask them if they actually support the exdroid board(s)? Tanix uses for the TX6 though.

H6 based boards:


- Pine H64


Additional boards can be supported if requested, but only if they are supported by mainline kernel. Please note that some of them are not ready yet (mostly H6 based, like OrangePi 3).

Saw a couple of comments back here that they were troubles flashing this device. Most likely they have blocked it in recent devices. And no, pressing the reset for more than a minute doesn't work. The Phoenix Suite detects the device but flashing doesn't start all. You can just pull out the cable, and the device reboots normally with the original 9.0 firmware untouched.

Hi all,
Has anyone experienced the below problem in the photos?
TX6 with latest May firmware, but it was like this since i got it with Feb firmware (Android 9 out of the box).
After a while, the picture on TV gets "washed out".
If i change the TV to another HDMI and then back to the TX6 HDMI, it comes back to normal colors.
If i pull the HDMI plug (from tv or box) and plug in, it comes back to normal colors.
If i wait long enough, it comes back to normal colors.
The problem is more frequent when video is playing, but it also happens if the box is completely idle.
I tried to change 4-5 cables of different lengths, i tried to change HDMI ports on the tv, i tried to change all available HDMI output settings from the box, always the same behavior.
The TV is a ~10yr old Sony Bravia that has never had any problems with any other HDMI input (game consoles, tv decoders, chromecast, various laptops, tablets).
With exactly the same box and all cables, if i plug it to my 1080 monitor, i experience no problem at any stage with that "decoloration".

I have a feeling it may be some particular box configuration combined with the TVs picture settings, but i cannot find anything that would make a difference...
