So that's Kodi 17 on your latest builds, are you still doing a kodi 16 version?

No ... why should I? It would not have EGL ...

Is there any sense to invest in better performence ram? I want to buy two 4gb ram from corsair. But there is few modela. From good value to some which overclocking itself. Shall buy this better or it's doesn't matter?

Just wondering as the skin I use (reFocus) is just in development for v16, I'll try it with v17
No idea what EGL means!

EGL refers to the new, higher quality and higher performance, rendering method for video used in the latest Intel builds. It allows you to avoid video banding, and reduces the performance demands required for video rendering on suitable hardware. More details in the Linux sub-forum where there is a sticky for both Ubuntu and OpenElec installation details.

Anyone installed kodibuntu on the beebox. I tried but it wouldn't install.
Also if I move (ever so slightly) the HDMI cable from the beebox I loose picture for a few seconds. This happens on both HDMI inputs, with different HDMI cables.
Anyone having these issues, or just me :-?
RE: ASRock Beebox (Braswell) - fritsch - 2015-11-24
Kodibuntu is much too old and won't run at all on the beebox ...
RE: ASRock Beebox (Braswell) - Mylo75 - 2015-11-25
Thanks fritsch, I use your openelec build for everyday use ( which works perfectly) and then just try to experiment with other OS's.
Xbuntu and lubuntu seem to be the only other alternatives to install kodi on other than using Windows or openelec.

Thanks so much Fritsch for such a wonderful software. I have it in my Chromebox.and is really nice. the nvidia shield is going to be $ 139 at Fry's Electronics this black Friday. Between the shield and BeeBox which is better.

Depends what do you need the device for:
- working HD Audio passthrough in Kodi ?
- Top quality TV deinterlacing ?
- DRM video streaming Apps like Netflix or other Android Apps ?
- Games ?
- Need flexibility to run other OS's ?
- HDMI 2.0 = 50/60Hz HEVC ?
You should be asking the question - is the BeeBox a worthwhile upgrade over my Chromebox or should I be waiting for KabyLake Intel microarchitecture ?

Anyone recommend a remote for the beebox? I like the one that came but find I can't select kodi with it when I boot into windows 10.
Did anyone update any drivers in win 10 ?
I notice there are 3 power modes eco etc, has anyone changed these?

If you want Windows control then I'd recommend a Harmony remote (try harmony 650) using the MCE Extended profile, this will allow you to put Kodi in your Windows taskbar and fire Win+2 for example to launch it.

We already have this one? http://www.amazon.de/Acer-Desktop-PC-Celeron-Graphics-Betriebssystem/dp/B015J7VWM8
Could not find out how many ram slots it has - but looks like a good priced hw.
RE: ASRock Beebox (Braswell) - Tank121 - 2015-11-26
Going to put OpenElec onto USB stick tonight which file from the V17 dir do i need? So for beginners question. I'm going to insert the stick into my Windows 10 Beebox and use F12 to boot into OpenElec.
OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-6.0-devel-20151124212950-r21580-gf443afd.img.gz
OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-6.0-devel-20151124212950-r21580-gf443afd.tar
Thanks in advance.

Extract the image using 7zip.
Insert your USB Stick / SDcard into your system. It should appear as a new drive letter.
Run Win32DiskImager
Select the image file and verify the destination drive letter is correct, then click write.
When it is finished you can safely remove the USB stick / SDcard by right clicking on the drive in windows explorer and selecting eject.
