    aria2 config and sesion fix:
    same as transmission fix. just sleep time is longer:
    connect to openwrt with putty
    "vi /etc/init.d/aria2"
    add sleep 60 in start script
    use keyboard arrows to navigate to the line. press "I" to enter insert mode. write "sleep 60" . press escape to exit insert mode. write ":wq" enter, to write the file and quit, reboot

    Hello, is there any confirmation from Zidoo for fixing the USB-out Audio problem for the next F/W?
    With some dongles connected to the USB port (such as the MINIX air mouse) it sends the Audio to the USB port, thus having No audio on the HDMI. The android setting do not work...very annoying.

    that's correct, not sure why you are having this problem , working fine for me. its just a delay on a startup. should not brake anything. in 60 seconds aria should just start and thats that
