CoreELEC default resolution is 1080p
On initial installation edid
Maybe is best to leave as.
I have Samsung UHD 4K
Leave resolution as 1080p
When i playback 4K content
TV automatically switches to best resolution 4K
Not sure if your LG does this
Others have reported issues with sleep/suspend mode.
Maybe is best to Power down box with generic remote
Or use Powe off System
In Power options Menu
I never use sleep mode
Of course to Each his Own
Method of Madness
Happy Testing
Thank you @freddy.
Noticed lost my message typing on tablet from inside of hospital through their firewall. What a PITA that is.
Home again for a few minutes then running out.
So having a look…it is not going on the network via built in NIC.
Will enable wifi and see for time bean what is going on with it.
Did see temps over 50 C on the LED display.
Okay
Are you ON /boot from external SD/USB?
Ethernet transceiver?
Jlxxx1
Which version CoreELEC
Etc.
50c seems a little high.
I use old laptop fan on underside
For cooling
Just got in via wireless (Ruckus WAPs).

Changed the Ethernet port address to static IP and the DHCP WLAN address changed to static IP.
Rebooted.
Gotta run out for now…did not come back to the network …IE: WLAN and LAN on reboot.
Omg i have 65-75C depends what iam doing. I dont think 50C its high 
On old device max 64C.
Thanks guys. Configured a static IP and shut off WLAN. Not rebooting and will let it run for a while (24 hours).
Its been on a few hours now and not playing any media; just running Kodi and screensaver.

Have you enabled the indication of the temperature at the front screen?
Yes.
Checked my network connections and all is well now relating to Gb Managed switch to managed switch connection was not at Gb speeds. Reset switch and that part is good now.

iperf Done.
Watched a few movies last night and all was well. This morning the device was off and I had to restart it. I have no power settings configured. Did configure the included IR remote and it is working fine now.
Not too concerned about heat. Just the auto shutdown or sleep when I switch to another video source.
Power button is working fine on new style IR remote that came with device.
Nice!!!
Glad you are up n running
Was wondering about your first Test Results?
See you have edited Post.
Was thinking ethernet Ports on Ruckus were 100Mb
Recently discovered on My Linksys High speed Router
Ports are 100Mb only
Happy Testing
Thank you @freddy . I am using the Ethernet port on the device. The wireless Ruckus APs do have two Gb ports on them. I prefer to use Ethernet as it is all over the house.
Reason for the slow test results earlier was that the main managed switch to the TV managed switch was talking 100Mbs. I reset it and it was fine. Noticed that my Denon AVR only talks 100Mbs.
I switched the configuration of the remote to the included stock remote which is OK. I was though still using the larger MCE IR remote.
It does go to sleep / shuts down when I have the TV set off. The old box would not do this but would turn on the TV via CEC when I would press a button on the remote.
Tested HDHomerun tuner streaming just fine.
I put copper heatsink, max. temp is 62C on idle 42C. I will make some additional holes, should get another 5-10C.
But still cpu load is too high on NE version.
Thank you. Might do that. Now when not utilizing the box it goes to sleep / shuts off. I am able to turn it on and via CEC it turns on the TV which works for me.
Last time I checked after a few hours saw this:
CoreELEC:~ # sensors
soc_thermal-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +69.4°C (crit = +105.0°C)
ddr_thermal-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +71.9°C (crit = +105.0°C)
around 10 °C of passive cooling would suit me fine. Did you just put a heat sink on the CPU? Do you have any pictures? I have a second one not utilized yet and can take this second one apart before putting it in to production.
Hello:

key_endThe codes you scanned are 0x10f, 0x14b, 0x14f, 0x141, but you wrote them as 0x0f, 0x4b, etc in the config, with missing 1, they’re not the same codes.
Well… the codes were right.
The problem was that in .config folder I had other file for other remote (remote2.conf), and, for any reason, CoreELEC used “remote2.conf” also for this remote (priority: remote2.conf > remote.conf).
After deleting remote2.conf, it works with the 4 new mapped keys.
Ok. Remote problem solved… but I have other new one 
Vontar X4, S905X4, CoreELEC 20.0 ne.
When I shutdown the Vontar X4, with remote, with Power menu, or using ssh:
shutdown now
the TV-box seems really remain in standby or something like that (blue and red lights in LED display).
The “problem” is that I have a cooling fan connected using USB to Vontar X4, with the intention of shutdown the cooling fan when Vontar X4 is shutdown… but cooling fan continues working after “shutdown” of the TV-box.
OK; I know that I can remove USB or retire the plug of the TV-Box from electricity, but my intention is to use the TV-Box remotely, and, after ssh:
shutdown now
That all the system be off, including the cooling fan.
Is there any option to “power off” the cooling fan after “shutdown” the Vontar X4?
Kind regards
One question about this device: is Android 64bit or 32bit?
If 32bit does a 64bit Android image exist?
As far as i know, it is 64Bit (has 64 Bit Kernel), but has no 64 Bit ABI installed.
There is no softawre/firmware way to “power off” the cooling fan after shutdown.
There are several hardware mods to do that.
