Tanix Tx3 mini 2G RAM with fresh install of 8.95.0 and also with upgrade (tar) to 8.95.1 tested.
I am unsure whether the cause of the problem is hardware or software but suspect hardware as I have seen no other report of similar problems.
The Tanix is used to view Live TV from Astra satellite via another Tanix as a backend server running TVHeadend.
The problem cannot be induced by me (or not that I have been able to find) and can occur without any interaction from the user, or apparent change in the channel being viewed.
It can happen on different channels … SD or HD.
The problem:
After an indeterminate time, usually between two and six hours of continuous use, the screen will flash green superimposed on the normal display and continue flashing until the channel is stopped.
Re-starting the channel or switching to any other channel results in the same flashing of the display.
A quick restart of the Tanix gets things back to ‘normal’ and it can continue correctly for several more hours of use.
I have checked temperatures during these episodes and found nothing amiss … temps from late 40s to low 50s Celsius being the norm.
I know little about logs etc., but expect that logs for that time length would be huge, so I have not even attempted to record them. I wouldn’t know which ones to enable in the first place
So the reason for posting is to ask if anyone else has seen anything similar, and also to ask if there is something other than temperature I should check.
One last bit of info … other devices can receive the same channel from the backend without problems, during these flashing events.
I strongly suspect a hardware problem …
