« on: June 17, 2016, 04:52:09 PM »Not sure why the box is showing 755MB RAM, the speculation on Amlinux forum about clone boxes is not the reason. We buy direct from Beelink factory. I suspect this will be resolved in future OpenELEC firmware update. The freezing is probably related to using very heavy skins and the lower reported RAM. For most users it won't be a problem and I expect it to be fixed/improved in future firmware.
Skins tested are all skinhelper enabled:
- Arctic: Zephyr
- Titan
- Refocus
- Bello (ported to Jarvis, possibly inherently unstable)
Worth noting, this freeze also occurred when using the default Confluence and Retouched skins. I thought it may happen during caching of thumbs whilst browsing, but on a few occasions it has happened on precached movie sets, as well as the basic home menu in Confluence. This box has been exclusively setup to stream, so until the thumbnail is cached, it doesn't exist locally.
If any user can reproduce this freeze on command, I would be curious what steps cause it!
EDIT: Someone on the Amlinux thread has mentioned stability massively increased with a swapfile. I'm going to try this sometime this week. I'll report back with results!
