Also, do you usually watch interlaced or progressive content?

6.0.98 on my main box, mostly 24p content, mysql library on NAS. Haven't seen a compelling reason to potentially destabilize a perfectly working system with a test version

dev boxes have whatever I'm testing at the time. I have a full suite of test files, all resolutions, codecs, interlaced/progressive, etc.

FYI; I had experienced the issue prior to upgrading RAM from 2GB to 4GB (Asus Chromebox). This is running Matt's FW with a plain Ubu 15.10 instance (no EGL-VAAPI build stuff).

no issues here on a stock 2GB Dell box, running 6.0.98. Perhaps an addon is causing the issue?

I'm running a dual-boot ChromeOS and OE 6.0 Generic Build setup. I tried connecting the new adapter from DP1 of the ASUS Chromebox to a 4 ft High Speed HDMI cable purchased recently (I don't have any HDMI cables that claim to pump 18+ Gig/sec). I was only able to get 30Hz at 3840x2160. As soon as I chose 60Hz, the screen would flicker and have a green line at the top until it reverted back to the previous setting. This was only possible with Samsung UHD Color setting set to ON (I have a Samsung UN65JU6500). With that setting off, I could only choose 30Hz at that resolution. I also tried setting the TV input to "PC mode" to see if that helped, no change. I then tried two additional High Speed HDMI cables that I have from different vendors with no difference. Based on the reviews for the mini-displayport adapter like this one (CAC-1170) on Amazon, I see very similar results. I can try the fritsch 6.0.98 build if you think it will help anything. I also plan to try another HDMI cable that I've ordered which claims to handle this bandwidth (even though HDMI 2.0 doesn't change the cable specs). Let me know if you have any ideas or have anything you'd like me to try, I'd be happy to give it a shot.

Software support/issues, esp running beta versions, is best handled in those threads in the software subforums. This thread is really only for the initial setup / script / firmware issues
