Help with new Raspberry PI 2. - Olliepop - 2015-02-03
Just received my new Raspberry Pi 2 and I am trying to set up Kodi on it. I have tried to burn the IMG file to the micro SD card but once I try putting the card in the PI and booting it up I just get the rainbow screen. Anyone any ideas please?

Are you sure you used the Pi2 download and not the Pi1 download?
(e.g. from here: http://openelec.tv/get-openelec)

Yes, that's the build I used. The disk image file.

Can you confirm the filename of the disk image you downloaded?
RE: Help with new Raspberry PI 2. - Olliepop - 2015-02-03
OpenELEC-RPi.arm-5.0.1. I am using a 16gb scandisc micro sd and my old power plug from my 1st Raspberry Pi, if this helps?

I also tried with a 32gb mic road and just got a blank screen.

That's the wrong version, should be OpenELEC-RPi2.arm-5.0.1.img

Be sure and post and let us know how it works. I'm interested in how it handles heavier skins as well as HD audio.

Name a heavier skin and I'll take a look for you, IE: one that a RPi Model B 512MB overclocked would normally just sigh, rollover and wave it's hands in the air at.
Edit: And your experience with said skin so I have something to compare to.

I've just loaded my pi2 up with new openelec img. Just wondering what your default overclock is mines showing 600MHz ?

It's dynamic - it will jump to 900MHz when busy.
