The Chromebox plays every 1080p file I've thrown at it - and runs Aeon Nox fine (though I'm not a huge fan - it's a bit shouty for me) The only limitation at the moment is 1080i VC-1 stuff - though that may be solved soon I believe. It's amazing with 1080i H264 and 576i MPEG2 Live TV.

AIUI it significantly outperforms the N2820 boxes as it has a much better GPU so can upscale SD at higher quality, and also does a better deinterlace. Not sure an i3 NUC will massively improve on it.

Does openelec on Chromebox definately support acestream? Does the upgrade from the M8 box to Chromebox make sense to you guys?

Finally. Anybody found a good remote (bluetooth)? I have this keyboard which uses a USB dongle http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00LZPSP6A and works well with the existing box (Android or Openelec). Assume this will work? Still need a conventional remote though as its a bit annoying!

Thanks again all

If your post is about updating xbmcbuntu (or do you mean kodibuntu?) then it is irrelevant to this thread. Please start a new one.

Try the support thread for p2pstream addon.

I assume its for watching legal stuff.

Same problem. Nothing interesting in kodi logs when this happens. Hoping Openelec 5.0.1 brings more stability.

I had a total freeze w/Asus Chromebox + OpenELEC 5.0.1 about 2.5 minutes into playing a 720p mp4 video. Totally frozen; wouldn't respond to pings (ethernet).
Rebooted to see if I could reproduce and video playback was fine for 30 minutes straight.

Not sure how to debug such a thing, maybe connect a second display and direct kernel messages to it?
