run 'mount' from commandline and check what is the mountpoint, then add this source
it was an issue with my external HDD, I had to automount it through fstab.
now, i've tested Kodi and armbian a lot in this hours, well.... armbian it's really slow and it freeze on Chrome very often. Kodi is a bit slugghish on menu (kodi 17 was a little bit more fluid on menu), and 1 time on 3 try it freeze is I try to call a trailer through youtube.
I don't know if it's my SDcard, I have to investigate.
Oh, it's normal that I miss the python 3 dependance on kodi?
UPDATE: if I switch view (wall, list, poster etc) it crash and take me back to emustation

cannot reproduce it in 1GB boards (no 512mb to test in here).
IIRC previous versions had swap memory by default, so it's probably lacking, since it now relies more on memory to hold hw acceleration
So, add 512MB swap and try

OK I will test with 512 swap partition and mount it throught fstab? or by setting zswap / zram? (I've never used these before, but for what I read it operate by compressing and decompressing ram, so, maybe, it use a bit of CPU...and therefore using zswap / zram it's not really worth on H3 chipset...I need to test it...)

Good point, i remember now Armbian is using zram , so it should be enough.
Are you using case, heatsink, cooler? Try tweaking /boot/armbianEnv.txt , remove cma reserve (=128M) or decrease it, as its maybe the culprit (this is needed by cedrus though).
Anyway i'll build a new image, based on latest sources, so you can tell me if there is any difference.

tested for some hour... (I have an homemade printed case with some passive air income and 2 heatsink, no fan)
so.
* audio problem is always there, btw the fix works.
* the system is more reactive and fast. no freeze (in my test) (with swap partition I feel the system more resposive I didn't do any scientific test to prove it sorry but chromium doen't crash anymore)
* kodi works just fine no improvement it is a bit slugghish on movie list poster but at least it doesn't freeze (the python 3.0 dependance problems still persist maybe I have to install python 3 through armbian?!)
Solved by tweak down a bit the skin
* shutdown doesn't work it stop at reboot: system halted
warning
when I boot armbian or kodi I have this warning
Quote:/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators/drastic.sh: line 39: syntax error: unexpected
What is this?

WOW awsome...i think that with these fix, could be a perfect release candidate...when you will upload the new image I will test the gaming part...with a bit more time. xD

Stupid question: can I edit the drastic.sh to correct the error without burn again the image?
