First time here.
I managed to install standard openelec installation (does not care for chromeos) but open elec is unable to mount my external HDD.
In boot menu after pressing ESC on reboot I can see the device: pic. But it is not in /media after booting to openelec.
Any help is appreciated

I'm on Linux Mint 17.1 btw.

looks like a network issue, given that your file source is a NFS share

It's a PC, not a CE device, and needs the display to tell it what resolutions it supports at boot time. If you're using an older firmware, I'd recommend updating and not choosing the headless option. This will force the ChromeBox to delay booting until the display is on/ready.

On OpenElec, though, there could be a solution by forcing a manual copy of the TV's EDID. I've done that on my system to resolve another issue (slightly incorrect calculated PAR) but one side effect is Kodi always knows what the TV supports even if it's not powered on.

Could you please direct me on getting the terminal and how to mount via SSH. Never done any of those.

start here: http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php/Ssh_commands. I don't have anything handy for mounting so your best best is either google or the IRC help channel as I mentioned earlier

I have a few questions, I'm unsure whether I should ask them in this thread, some other part of the forum or the OpenELEC forum but I need to start from somewhere. Feel free to point me to the right direction if the questions are not appropriate for this thread and should be elsewhere.

1) My LG plasma TV supports 24p. Is it possible to force 24p output for movies with framerate of 23.976 or 24 frames per second? I have tried overriding the refreshrate settings via advancedsettings.xml but my receiver (and thus TV) doesn't get proper 24p signal. It used to work with my previous media player, the Mede8er MED500X2.

Quote:2) Subtitle positioning doesn't work. I have set the position in the calibration dialog but still they appear at the bottom of the screen. I can move them by CTRL + +/- and it clearly shows that the position is not what I have chosen in the calibration.

Quote:3) MPEG-2 video decoding is not always hardware accelerated, which also means that I'm sometimes missing the advanced deinterlacing techniques such as VAAPI motion compensated deinterlacing. Are there some cases in which the decoding is done via software?

Thanks for any input

I believe you can, but unsure on the exact method. Which frame rate works and which doesn't with your receiver/TV?

pretty sure Kodi stores video calibration data on a per-refresh rate basis. So if you calibrate the subtitle position via the settings menu while the output is 60Hz, that's what the calibration is for. Try forcing the UI to 24Hz and then calibrating the position.

I believe mpeg2 is only hardware accelerated for HD video streams, something to do with dvd playback compatibility.
