So finally got my PI 3B+ two days ago, installed the latest image available (from the download section, that i assume is a stable release) and it started perfectly... I made ZERO changes in the config for the exception of configuring the WiFi and adding my local NAS, and when i tried to play a movie puff the unit got a black screen and no longer responded to SSH requests or the attached keyboard.

So long story short I've tried a lot of things but in the end it was MMAL hardware acceleration being on by default that was causing the crashes... I've turned it off and OMX ON and now it works perfectly.... Even added add-ons now.
Except that isn't MMAL hardware acceleration supposed to work?

MMAL acceleration is working for many years w/o any issue

I can upload logs latter if needed, just tell me witch ones.

I don't think that logs would help, because it seems that your Pi is freezing completely, or does your Pi still respond to a ping request?

Could you share a sample video so I could check of this crash happens here also?
