But the problem is sometimes OpenElec freezes, so I want to reboot the Chromebox everytime I start the activity on my Logitech Harmony. Is there a way to issue an IR command to restart OpenElec?

Thanks!

Can you run another instance of Openelec from USB using the standalone version,

I used Win32diskmanager to write to usb, then on the chromebox i installed it to a another usb but when i boot from the new usb i get an error

Something about don't change boot if you don't know what you are doing, can get the exact message if needed.

Just trying to test different versions without wiping the internal drive.

thanks

But impossible to know what the issue is since you've given us no information. A good start would be what version of OE you installed to USB and the error message when attempting to boot the USB.

I was trying to install the 6.94.2 from the wiki page to usb but this is the error i get

NEVER Touch boot= in extlinux.com
if you don't know what you are doing

your install is now broken

normal boot in 60s...

I have really no clue what i am doing

Thanks and it seems available on older versions of openelec but not on the newer ones i was trying

My problem is when I reboot and hit ESC it still just boots up like normal and I don’t get to point to the USB drive to get the update. What is the trick there or am I doing this the wrong way? I’ve been running this as a standalone OpenELEC Chromebox since last summer. I’ve been getting update errors so I wanted to do it manually and get the latest version of KODI too.

(2016-03-12, 23:11)Matt Devo Wrote: [ -> ]I'll test here shortly to see if I can reproduce. The install media for OE versions > 5.0.8 requires you to type 'live' at the boot: prompt to boot in live mode, it's not a menu option anymore

edit: I just installed 6.94.2 to USB and booted right up, no issues at all. I can only guess that you had a bad install to USB and would recommend trying again

(2016-03-13, 02:02)Scratinthehat Wrote: [ -> ]OK I put the OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-6.94.2.img in the USB and tried the reboot. I still don’t get the ability to point to the USB. After Kodi comes up it says “Mounted removable Hard Drive USB_DISK” in the lower right hand corner. Then it gives an “auto installation failed”.
