My other Android based box does not have the ethernet issue.
I have downloaded Openelec on another sd card, and have no problem with ethernet connection. The only issue is that the date time takes some rime to adjust to the time server at switch on.
when I activate wired, I am promted for manual, ( no other option, or to do it later) it will start searching, but always negative results. No "internet connection found "
Yesterday, I swapped the OSMC sd card with Openelec.
Today, I re inserted the OSMC, and it worked first time, this time!
I have inserted and re inserted the OSMC card several times before!
The HDMI issue
I do not keep my home appliances on standby.
I first have to switch on my tv, then, switch on my Rasp 2, otherwise, if I switch them both simultaniously, the TV will not detect the Rasp.
Again, this happens only on Rasp 2 , with either osmc or openelec, but not android!
