then I dunno, your best bet is to hop on IRC chat when fritsch is there and ask for him or someone else to review your logs. But before doing so, i'd recommend starting with a clean profile, without any banned add-ons that are indicated as installed by your log.

Well this concert was just one of the many example. its sporadic in nature, I can restart the device and it will play fine for a while then act up again. I've tried it on blu ray rip as well. same result. I noticed one thing is that when it happens, even when the movie stopped playing and I am in the home screen of kodi, the CPU usage still lingering in the high zone for a few minutes then slowly going back down.
weird thing is turning off Hardware acceleration completely will solve the issue but at a price of constant high cpu usage...
As I mentioned - would be useful to know if the file is VC-1 and if it is interlaced? MediaInfo will tell you if you aren't sure you can tell from the Kodi OSD you get by pressing O during replay. Many concert DVDs and Blu-rays are shot interlaced. (If you disable deinterlacing you will see combing on motion on a native interlace source)

Now the only thing i suspect is the ps3 remote v1 since with my old box i had v2... tomorow ill disconect the bluetooth remote and try and see if it was the prob.
Well it sems that my issues are gone after switching to ubuntu. (: I would verry much recommend it to you.
I followed fritsch's guide, the only difference:
instad of this:
Code:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:wsnipex/vaapi
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:wsnipex/mesa
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-fernetmenta-masterCode:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:team-xbmc/unstableRE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2015/09/05] - fritsch - 2015-09-11
If you don't install vaapi and mesa - you will get more problems ...
Edit: And the kodi you are now running is 15.0 ... not even here you picked the stable one add ppa:team-xbmc/ppa to get latest stable kodi.

Well i didn't use your repo but the official kodi one (as clearly mentioned in my post) so i should be fine right? Also i am talking about another issue here (sporadic wakeups)
The kodi i am now running is 15.2-rc1 and that was what i wanted. i know what repo i picked. i only referd to your thread because of the ubuntu server setup guide.

@matt
Wakeup Issue
I dont know if this is any usefull Information for you but i seem to have located the reason for my chromebox waking up. It seems to have been the ps3 bluetooth remote.
Either its related to the bluetooth remote or some other bluetooth interfirance since i turned off bluetooth completely and the issue was gone.
RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2015/09/05] - oo_void - 2015-09-12
Well, I'm trying the OpenELEC / ChromeBox route, but not having much luck in terms of display detection.
I'm a bit of an edge case compared to most in that I'm using an HDMI splitter to drive as RaspberryPi based Ambilight type system. With my old, nVidia based box using Ubuntu and the exact same routing, I had no problem with the video card seeing a 1920x1080p @ 60Hz capable display, and running 24p when watching content. With the Chromebox running through the splitter, I'm maxing out at 1920x1080p @ 30Hz. Running directly into the display, I can see 60Hz so obviously, the Chromebox is not happy with the splitter in the display path.
I can handle xorg.conf fine, but xrandr is new to me. Any ideas as to how to override what xrandr is seeing and force the modes that were working on the old Ubuntu based system?

don't use a splitter, use the HDMI output to your display and a DisplayPort->HDMI adapter to feed the ambilight. Or you'll need to clone the EDID data coming from the display and force that to load on startup, but I'm not sure how reliable that is, nor have I ever done it myself.
RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2015/09/05] - oo_void - 2015-09-12
The splitter is sort of key to the whole setup. It lives between the amp and the display and captures signal not only from the XBMC machine, but my XBox One and satellite box. There's got to be a way to make the ChromeBox see what every other device in the chain sees (including the old nVidia / Linux box), a 1920x1080p @ 60Hz capable display.

i have done many installs w/no issues, but tonight I received a new asus chromebox and ran the matts awesome script to the T....rebooted, and stuck on a rebooting from hard disk. no esc. so i ctrl alt del and hit esc, and now it reads the usb image...i select the usb, it says something about linux like its going boot to OPENELEC Install (which it has many times before), but NOTHING. I've tried different USBs, even SD cards....but it seems like it wont read the USB/SD image. I tried the recovery route, same thing...it looks like it tries to boot from USB nada.

Doh, issue solved. Just used the xorg.conf from

Wake Up Issue
So i was asuming that its the old v1 of the ps3 remote because i initialy had a new v2 remote and did not have the problem with my first chromebox.
So i went out and got a new version 2 remote. To try if the issue is eliminated.
Now i have a question regarding suspend mode... When i suspend the chromebox and then go and wake it up with the remote the remote reacts emidiatly. Even though i set standby mode on.
Isnt the remote supposed to hybernate when the chromebox is in suspend? I am scared that i have to put in new batteries like every week.
Anyone got any knowledge as to how this works?
