Really odd but i have these two edal 4k boxes and one t95x. They all behaved the exact same way. They all needed and could only flash with one aidan’s v7 firmware and nothing else to allow to boot with ng kernel ce 19.
I boot off sd so i just swap out the ng kernel ce19 with ce18. They both can boot fine with aidan’s firmware. However the performance is night and day whenit comes to browsing around in the gui. Ce19 would crash many times and extremely unstable. As long as you were able to start a movie and watch then it’s boot a problem. If anything the quality of the video is better than ce18. However with the instability of the gui i can’t replace it with ce18.
The test bed should be relatively similar. Two exact sd one loaded with ce18 and the other card ce19. Both have the same mysql configuration so the number of media should be the same.
Ce19 scraping is slower too but i just ignore it for now since it does not impact usability. My rf keypad and bt keyboard would not work properly. It would lag to respond then all of a sudden a whole slew of inputs all comes at once. Sometimes it would hang the box.
