Any explanation would be appreciated or is it just one of those mysteries.

I took XBMC off and installed another version, it crashed with that too (it wouldn't even open XBMC). I then installed Frodo 12.3 and it loaded up and all seemed fine, but Live TV wouldn't work, and Navi-X had a few issues also. It crashed on many of the other apps too. I guess a Custom ROM may fix most of the issues, but for now I 'm going to put it aside and try out the other one..
branners69 wrote: » Weird, I thought having a splitter would be a work around! Did you manage to find out why Toshiba tvs? Any chance you could put a receiver between them? By the way what are you doing when the Minix crashes - XBMC, browsing etc? Is the Minix box set to 1080p, can your TVs handle 1080p? Have you tried dropping down to 720p?

youdipstick wrote: » All the tv's can handle 1080p,I have tried 720p,I find that there are 2 different types of crashes,the mild one,which I call it,the video I'm watching stops & goes back to the home page,I get this mild crash on some of the other X8's,depends what link I am streaming. The hard crash which I get while connected to the Toshiba's is,the video stops but the audio is still working,powering off from the unit & power back on,the video is still off & the audio is still working,the only way to get it to work again is by pulling the power cord out from the unit,replace it & power it up,I'm back to the home screen. The hard crash happens more often on Live TV,about every 10 mins,using istream,it could crash between 10 mins & 2 hrs. I have the Minix up to date & also XBMC,I have Gotham 13.2. I tried the Minix on a Bush tv,I think its the same as Toshiba,but it works with the Bush,something in the Toshiba is causing this problem,I have tried 4 x Minix X8H on 5 different makes of tv & works great,all 4 x X8H crashed with the 2 x Toshiba's I have. I did try 2 different receivers.

Allyall wrote: » Regarding the Toshiba. I think it may be to do with the refresh/frame rate on the Mali-450 GPU vs the TV. Also depending on the age of the TV it might be a HDMI issue. Have you tried a different ROM? Preferably not the same OS version if possible, although I don't think it is on the Minix X8 yet.. There also should be patches for your current ROM, for the Mali-450.
