RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [v3.15 - 2015/03/29] - azimuth01 - 2015-04-06 (2015-04-06, 02:09)Matt Devo Wrote: I already did but Windows-related questions/issues have their own thread, so take things there please. Don't want that crap polluting this one ;-) Oops! Sorry. I will check the posts there, and will post my questions if I have any. Thanks Matt and Soli.. RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [v3.15 - 2015/03/29] - matf - 2015-04-06 Thanks to the guide here I've successfully set up my HP Chromebox as dual-boot - and generally it's working perfectly! Using with PlexBMC, and Live TV streamed from a DVBLink server. I have encountered some issues: 1. Overscan settings not saved - there's a significant amount of overscan. I used the Video Calibration in Kodi to fix, but it appeared it wasn't saving after a reboot. SOLUTION: In the end, I went in via SSH and directly amended the guisettings.xml for every resolution combination shown and so far that seems to be working. 2. Crushed blacks - MAYBE SOLUTION: set the limit in Video settings: Settings -> System -> Video output -> Use limited color range (16-235). It's better, though I still think blacks look really, really black...I've read elsewhere in this thread that turning off VAAPI might help, so I'll try that but not sure if there are other consequences. 3. Suspend/Wake - Suspend works great, but when I wake it always reboots back to the Developer screen. Using Flirc and tried a variety of remotes. Lots of people here say suspend is working perfectly, so if anyone can help I'd be grateful! Thanks Matt though - stunning piece of work.

Using with PlexBMC, and Live TV streamed from a DVBLink server. I have encountered some issues: overscan settings are saved on a per-resolution/re-refresh rate basis, so if you have the option to auto-adjust the refresh rate to match video frame rate selected, you need to set the overscan settings for each refresh rate by either changing in the GUI or editing the xml as you did.

If enabling 'use limited color range' still results in a picture with crushed blacks, I'd lean towards display calibration. Also, be sure that you have the video acceleration setting 'prefer VAAPI renderer' unchecked for the limited color range setting to take effect during video playback. Quote:3.

It's related to the TPM, which isn't usable by anything other than ChromeOS.

If I had to guess, it's either an issue with your input for the usb question or the headless one before it, or something weird with Ubuntu. Try running again but instead of answering N for the headless firmware just hit enter RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [v3.15 - 2015/03/29] - Freakshow999 - 2015-04-07 (2015-04-05, 00:39)Matt Devo Wrote:(2015-04-05, 00:30)Freakshow999 Wrote: Hello All, Went through the logs and I couldn't find anything definitive in the Kodi log but found a weird error in the syslog.

Me! I am having this issue. The box just doesn't react in any way to having an ethernet cable plugged in. The cable is known to work in an other machine. Did you fix the issue?

No, it has never worked. I am now on my second Chrome Box, but the issue remains. The ethernet cable is known to work on other systems such as an AMLogic M8, a Dell LapTop, a Sky HD box. Only the HP Chrome Box doesn't register it at all. RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [v3.15 - 2015/03/29] - Tyler Durden - 2015-04-07 Having tried a ethernet cable direct to the router I now have a working connection...... So, either there is something broken in my wiring that doesn't effect the other systems that work, or the Chrome Box doesn't work going through an unmanaged switch. I'll keep investigating.

RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [v3.15 - 2015/03/29] - driekus - 2015-04-08 Got my Chromebox and literally set it up in fifteen minutes. Works amazingly, put all sorts of tough 1080p through it and it didnt seem to break a sweat. Thank you Matt for setting up such an easy inexpensive way of getting a topshelf Kodi player |
