Is anyone aware of a suspend issue on the chromebox as of the latest firmware update?
System is an HP Chromebox running OpenElec native.
The suspend command was working perfectly with my remote control systems. I had a corrupt 5.08 OpenElec update so I updated to the latest firmware and did a fresh USB install of OpenElec.
Now when I send the suspend command via IR the unit goes into suspend and a split second later comes right back out of it.

Any suggestions would be appreciated? TIA

I need your help/guide to reconfigure my ASUS Chromebox.

Previously, I selected to configure it as standalone setup, and was able to make it properly work with Windows 8 or Linux via USB. Although the internal hard disk boot is now unable to load.

The thing that I want now is to reconfigure it to install Windows or Linux on the Internal storage.

Hope this is possible. Otherwise, please advise.

Thanks!

I am looking at getting the asus Chromebox M004U with a Celeron 2955U. I noticed in the Chromebox wiki the following and am concerned that it wont have enough power to handle 1080p TV rips from my NFS server.Any concerns here?

Also does my TV need to have a PC-HDMI port or does any port work with the Chromebox?

You might want to adjust the swap file partition though (or not use one at all). If you plan on running just Kodi, then 2GB is more than enough, even without a swap file. My HP, shows 3570MB free out of 4GB while streaming 1080p. Obviously I don't use a swap file and rather use that space for Kodi/extra storage.

you've flashed the standalone firmware, so your ChromeBox is now a regular PC. So just install whatever OS you want from USB, like you would on any other PC

It doesnt update kodi. been using tvheadend and transmission for a while now, neither will work on the custom build, follow the same instructions and they work great on the official kodi builds. Idle on the official build is a few percent, custom build idle is over 70% when shutting down on the kodi build, it doesn't spin my external hard-drive up, custom build, spins my hdd then cuts power. Sounds like it going to damage my external hard drive.
