Thanks a lot.

Thank you very much.

Please, can you link the armbian img that you use? I can't find 5.41.1 Ubuntu Xenial 3.14.29. Thanks.

I recommend the Orange Pi PC and the Orange PI One. I advise against the Orange Pi Lite due to Wi-Fi failures and random crashes. I set up automatic playback systems in nightclubs. They are connected directly to the USB of the TV and start up when starting the magnetotherms. And the system is shut down by closing the magnetothermic, without mercy. For this work, I use the Orange Pi One. They are working more than 8 months, 3 units, 6 days a week for an average of 8 hours of reproduction. No failure. Kodi downloaded here final version of 2016. It is not the latest version of OpenElec but it is not important to play loops of video automatically. Connection HDMI and without audio (because it is not necessary, but the audio works perfectly). http://www.orangepi.org/orangepibbsen/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1075 On the other hand, I have managed to Armbian based on Ubuntu 16.04 can serve as a mini computer, to download Torrent or Amule, navigate with limitations in Firefox, and quite well in Chromium. There would be no GPU acceleration for video playback and it would be perfect. Youtube doesn't work. Good stability, whole days without needing to restart, reaching 15 days without problems. The only thing I have done is to paste them with thermal paste some mini aluminum sheets that I cut from a dissipator of an old broken Nvidia. But those that do not have it work just as well. The box with openings for ventilation. Cards used micro SD Samsung, Sony, Lexar, Kingston and Toshiba. The best way to record the images is to use the gnome-disks. Fast and without errors. Warn that almost always the first boot of OpenElec and Armbian takes from a few seconds to 15 minutes and the screen remains in black without warning that it is working. It is necessary to leave it in case of doubt more than 10 minutes and to return after a while. The system almost always appears. The following times, a couple of minutes or less to boot. That is all. The desktop snapshots shows a x64 Ubuntu on i7, doing VNC with Remmia as client and Vino-Server as... server, with samba share foldes activated. Remote control sometimes is laggy and samba conection is slow via wifi, but it works.

First, thanks to the developers for creating a system that works very well, much better than the official distros. The question is if you could add to repositories Amule and their add-ons: Amuled, amule common, amule-utils and Gnome-support. Thank you.
