no, as I already stated, it needs to be set up as a Media Center Extender, which uses IR codes not keyboard scan codes.

My plans is to replace 6 mid-size tower HTPCs running XBMC with OpenElec running Kodi on the Asus ChromeBox. Is there any better alternative on the market today? I got 3 Asus Chromeboxes already for $104 during the Newegg sale.

i'm having trouble installing openelec in standalone mode.

I did everything according to your instructions but now i am stuck with the part, where openelec should be actually installed.
The USB image your script downloaded didn't work. The system said: "failed to load com32 file vesamenu.c32". So i tried setting up my own bootable openelec install. I downloaded OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-4.2.1-efi.img and set up my USB stick with it (bootable of course, i used win32diskimager like openelec recommends).

So it boots from the stick and there comes the openelec splashscreen with 2 options: install or run a live version. But either option doesn't work. The box freezes i suppose, the text vanishes and all whats left is the splashscreen with the openelec writing and logo. The USB stick itself does not have any r/w actions according to its LED I also left it alone for quite a while, but it didn't work either.
Am i maybe using the wrong image? I also tried different USB sticks.

Quote:I wanted to try to get back to the script from OP, but CTRL+ALT+F2 wouldn't work, and i don't know what else i could do.

Please help me - i'm out of ideas

Thanks!

First off, thank you for your contributions to this project! I'm a newb to OpenELEC/Linux/Kodi and your documentation has been amazing!

No matter how good the documentation is....leave it up to me to screw it up somehow

I'm doing a standalone install on a Asus ChromeBox. I've completed these steps successfully:

•Put the ChromeBox in developer mode
•Open the ChromeBox and remove the write-protect screw
•Download/run the EZ setup script
•Select the Standalone / coreboot Install option, which will backup your stock firmware/BIOS and flash a custom one ( my ROM is 8MB titled "stock-firmware-Panther-20141207")

I got excited at that point and rebooted the ChromeBox. If I would have read 1 line further down where you said "If you're going to install OpenELEC, you should go ahead and create the install media now (option 6) before rebooting."

Now I'm stuck at the "SeaBios (version rel - 1.7.5-120-gda6347f-20141202-Matt Devo) Booting from Hard Disk..." screen.

I didn't brick this thing did I?

there's no good reason that shouldn't work. Same thing with the 5.0 RC1 image? How about with an SD card? Does the install media you're creating work on another system? There's zero delays on a properly-working install - the entire process should take < 2 mins.

once you flash the standalone firmware, everything ChromeOS-related (recovery button, keyboard shortcuts, the OS itself) is gone -- it's just a regular PC now, albeit one with no installed OS.
