Given the soon available further improvements regarding display and audio it seems really absurd to rely on outdated OS images that receive no updates any more.

when relying on jernej's OpenELEC fork or Armbian (both projects share patches where applicable)Ī short history of various kernel sources for H3 devices (and why that matters) can be found here: Currently Armbian seems to have also fastest 3D acceleration (I rely here on others and don't know really but we increased Mali400 GPU cockspeed from 250 to 600 MHz some time ago and got reports about nicely improved gaming fps rates) and since a new Allwinner 3.4 BSP variant has been spotted last week with proper licenses for display/audio stuff and also said he's close to implement proper HDMI EDID support future audio and display improvements will be available soon. Works as expected, HW accelerated video decoding and so on. For now, there are just a few themes available but more should be available soon. For instance, it supports CSS skins so its very easy to theme. Since it uses Mplayer, it can play most video formats and comes with some very interesting features. I built an Armbian Xenial desktop image out of curiosity, adjusted HDMI resolution and installed smtube the usual way:Īpt-get install youtube-dl smplayer smtube UMPlayer is a new cross-platform SMPlayer fork. But can you please elaborate what's different to an 'apt-get install youtube-dl smtube'?
