This is the correct setting (for most Kodi devices):
Video > Playback > Adjust Display Refresh Rate > On Start / Stop
Otherwise as soon as you navigate back into an Kodi OSD / Desktop while a 1080p / 23.976fps movie is playing. A refresh rate switch will again occur and you will Always be back to whatever Refresh Rate the Kodi GUI was using previously.

Yes that is how I configure my LE C2 for DVB TvHeadend 25/50fps viewing. I always run it at 50Hz.
And have 0.5 secs Pause during refresh rate change.
Honestly I've never ever seen this sporadic problem. I hardly ever shut down the C2. I could not see anything in the Log.
And if anything pops up I just reboot. It takes 9 seconds with eMMC.
You can test and thrash the system all you want until it breaks, there will always be something that does not work to someones satisfaction if you hammer it hard enough !
I have not seen numerous reports of this problem either. Sorry don't have the time at the moment to go on a wild goose chase.

Hi wrxtasy,
I'm also in Perth and I was wondering where you are ordering the ODROID C2 from? a local place or direct from HardKernal?
Thanks mate

Wrxtasy, I know this question is way, way out of the bounds of this thread (I guess this what they call all these pages), but gonna ask anyway, because you are the expert with these devices. The first page says it runs Ubuntu 16.04 and I would like to know if it has enough power to run (I don't know how to say this without being banned) Plex or Emby server. I have recently been learning Linux on my Pine64 board, primarily to run Plex and Emby servers on that board. It does work somewhat, but do need more power. I don't really need any transcoding on the fly, just want the videos to play on my external devices. All my media is stored on NAS's and all my devices are connected via gigabit network.
I am looking for something inexpensive, that will do the basic job of being a server. Yes, I have read that the Nvida Shield can and does make a decent Plex server, but for two reasons, I would never purchase that machine just for a server backend. First reason, is it is too expensive for my needs, and secondly, I don't want something that JUST WORKS. I have numerous different Android boxes and even a microPC to serve as a client, but it they work out of the box, I don't use them because they are BORING.
That is my reasoning for the Odroid running Linux, so I can continue learning linux and it will not get boring. I guess I love the stress level trying to get a device to do something that is it basically not intended to do. It feels good after I get done banging my head against the wall, because I can't solve an immediate problem.
So, all I want to know in simple terms, will this simi work as a server.
thanks.

Hey wrxtasy quick question...what is the overall plan with libreelec and the c2? Are you planning on building Krypton as well or is kszaq the official builder for Kodi moving forward? I installed your Jarvis build over the weekend and things are working as expected. If you are both planning on building will the major differences be things like overclocking/governor selection on the CPUs? Thanks for the input and all the great work you have done on the C2!

Thanks for the link Wrxtasy, but it appears that their installation is for a client only.

Hi,
I've already ordered 2 C2's to experiment with, but I'm a little confused about which updates (if any) I should apply after installing the LibreELEC-Odroid_C2.aarch64-7.1.0.Aug.img.zip image.
In this thread I see this update in post 2 (what does this one do?):
LibreELEC-Odroid_C2.aarch64-7.1.0.DDR.Clock.tar
If I look at the link in wrxtasy's signiture, I see these updates:
LibreELEC-Odroid_C2.aarch64-7.1.0.HotPlug.tar
LibreELEC-Odroid_C2.aarch64-7.1.0.Oct.On.Off.tar
I didn't want to overclock (it appears the default clock speed in the 7.1.0.Aug image is 1.656GHz) until I have some time to test the stability at 1.536Ghz. So I'm thinking I should apply the 7.1.0.Hotplug.tar update, correct?
Also, I'm not that concerned about being able to power off from the remote, so I don't need the 7.1.0.Oct.On.Off.tar, correct?
Thanks in advance for any clarifications.
