    Sir,
    I recently updated my RaspDAC from V2.45 to V2.46. When using the device all seems well with the OLED display for about 7 minutes. At that point the display doesn’t refresh / cycle properly. The last character displayed on the top display line changes into random looking characters that change slowly. The bottom display line seems frozen. Nothing short of a cold boot will clear the problem. After ~7min, the display freeze re-occurs. I have installed the current beta Max2Play version (Beta-180411) and reinstalled the OLED display software. The correct I.P. & MAC addresses show at the end of the display install. I have also tried updating all packages without solving the display problem. Box worked fine under V2.45.
    Thanks for any help in advance.

    Hi Neil,

    Thanks for the update.

    Does that mean you do not have any issues with the display under Stretch anymore?

    Dear Sir,
    My RasPi OLED Is working under V2.46-Stretch. However, CEC under Jivelite now claims to install properly but doesn’t activate. No errors shown. No control either. This is on all same hardware that was working for me under V2.45-Jesse.

    Thanks
    Neil
