A picture says more than a thousand words. Good jobs guys, 37 days of System Uptime, not a single crash.

Hi everyone !
I have an issue since 9.2.4 on a Beelink GT1 Ultimate.
My system is the following :
- Samsung Smart TV UE65NU7175 > Arc HDMI connexion to a Denon Avrx 550 BT receiver
Beelink GT1 Ultimate with Coreelec emmc install pluged on the Denon.
Everything worked great until this update.
I have to keep the Bellink turned on if I want to have sound when I choose TV/Audio on the Denon to watch Netflix or Disney+ on SMART TV.
If I don’t keep it On, I have no sound, and the TV doesn’t recognize the Denon as audio system (such like if hdmi was not sending the signal).
It used to work perfectly before.
Any clue to help me ?
Thanks from France !
TV Box -> AVR -> TV does make problems in 90% of vendor/type.
Connect everything directly to the TV and use ARC to the AVR.
The forum is full of problems when the TV Box (your GT1) is connected to the AVR and not the TV.
Thanks @Portisch for your reply.
But even if I highly understand what you write, I wonder why it happened without any modification made by myself on the box, AVR or TV.
And if I do what you suggest, I will lose the native features of my home theater able to manage 5 units plugged to it.
I do also have connected on it the Internet TV receiver and the game console.
Moreover, I only have 3 HDMI port on the TV.
Would it be the same with Nvidia Shield Pro ?
Anyone else may have the same issue and solved it another way ?
I pair the BT on a sound device.Always i have to pair it manually 
Have a look here, and see if that helps.
Remember to make a backup before making any changes to the OS.
Thanks @Betatester, I’ll take a look.
My issue appears only when Coreelec is turned off, so maybe the option “Keep Audio Device Alive” might help, hoping that when I “turn off” the device it’s not really “off” but some kind of “long and intense sleep mode” !!
I keep searching, and I keep looking for other advice.
Is it normal that CE boot takes almost 80 seconds (being installed to eMMC)?
How long does it take you too boot from poweroff?
Sounds about right to me. I boot from an internal SSD in my box, which does take around this time.
There will be various factors that could affect boot tie from both hardware specs and software configs.
If you write a fresh install to sd card/flash drive, how long does it take then?
80 seconds ? That seems way too high to me.
Here - 2 * OdroidN2 with eMMC - both take about 10 seconds from cold boot to Kodi profile login…
"Is it normal that CE boot takes almost 80 seconds (being installed to eMMC)?

My N2 boots from eMMC to Home Screen in 15 seconds. From uSD card it takes 20 seconds…
From eMMC, about 15 seconds on a TX5 (S905X3), and about 20 from MicroSD.
Hey, thanks for posting results! I’ve just checked and I’m able to boot in 24 seconds from uSD. Something is not right with my eMMC installation then. I’d like to investigate further because the box requires couple of tweaks to make it fully working (remote, VFD, wake up) so I’d much rather fix the existing installation than start over.
Edit: Okay I think I found a culprit: iptables.service takes 16 seconds to start on boot
$ systemd-analyze critical-chain

Interesting. Because starting/stopping this service over SSH after boot is instantaneous.
Edit 2: Full debug info is here http://ix.io/2yGa
if i deactivate the function “CEC Wake-UP” it is unfortunately not saved. i go back one page and look again. the function is activated again.
Here is a complete debug log:
I would like the Odroid N2+ to be always on and not off when I turn off the tv.
Thanks!
Have you gone to the CEC options in settings/system/input/peripherals and chose “when tv is switched off - ignore”?

No. Sorry I had never seen the features there before. Works great! Thanks a lot and sorry for the beginner’s question. Odroid does not switch off anymore! 
Hi,
my device is Vontar X96 S905X 2G/16G
9.2.4.2. kernel 3.14 installed in internal memory - everything works pefectly.
I tried a new installation of the 4.9 kernel from the SD card.
Everything works except for two problems:
1 / IPTV playlists from URL do not work with Simply PVR client or with TVHeadend
2 / movie mkv 1080p when playing from an external USB HDD freezes after a few seconds and after a while KODI restarts. The XVID movie plays normally.
Here is logs

As I have already posted in the past, while I am in CoreElec, I am unable to scan my drives to update my library. If I load Android, I have no problem and all the content is displayed. Ditto when connecting my drives to my Windows PC; Kodi scans as it should. But, as soon as I launch CoreElec, none of the downloaded content is displayed.
I’m guessing this is because in both Android and Windows, the content is stored elsewhere. Indeed, it certainly isn’t in the folders of the movies and TV series on their relevant drives. Therefore, it would seem to me that the best solution would be for all content to be downloaded to the same folder on the drive being used. For example, let’s say I have the movie Avatar in its own folder. The goal would be for all related content to be stored in that same folder so that no matter where the drive is connected (Android, Windows, or CoreElec), it will always be displayed. The problem with this is that I can find no option in Kodi or CoreElec settings to make that happen.
Can it be done and if so, how please?
All of my devices, Coreelec on X96, Android X96, Android Nividia shield, & Plex use the same storage location, a NAS. I have several movies in one folder. I can see no pictures, in the nas folders.
I THINK the media for movies comes from online. I did use tiny media manager to get fanart, that did load it to the folders, but I found it took up too much space. You can use “local media” that will find media in the folders if you have it.
Where do you have your media? If it is on an external drive & you are moving the drive, it could be the source is “moving” ie the drive letter is changing, when you plug it back in.
I assume that before scanning, you are selecting the correct location for the source.
