[Matt Devo]

yes, mine is just a bit newer as it has some changes from the past few days that were of interest

[ant_thomas]

Matt, I assume yours includes the updated Intel driver?

[warrell]

Just a quick not to say the programming ctrl + d to a key on your Flirc remote dose not work at boot screen. Stuck with wired keyboard and wireless for now

[magy77]

I cant see the bootmenu.
Ive tried to install your helix release.

i dont know its the helix usb installer broken oder it is since newest coreboot release?

Any ideas?

*EDIT* ive tried another usb stick. now its working

Thx Matt, will test tonight.

"Do a fresh install" Means I cannot put this over Beta 6 ?

you can, but if you experience any weirdness, then I'd use the 'soft reset' option under OpenELEC settings

Thanks for all the great work here, specifically with coreboot and SeaBIOS. Two quick questions though;

1. What key do I press to get into the BIOS options at boot? I know ESC opens boot options, but what about the oh-so-important BIOS options?

2. Rocking Windows Server I found a device with vendor ID GOOG and device ID 9999. Can any Linux users give me info as to what that is? My guess is it's related to TPM, but my Google Pixel's "GOOG" device is much more important so I figured I'd ask.

1) There's no BIOS to get into. (in the sense you're thinking of it like a conventional PC)

Matt : I've done a soft reset and the TVH addon won't enable. API error it seems

Code:

ERROR: PVR - Add-on 'Tvheadend HTSP Client' is using an incompatible API version. XBMC minimum API version = '1.9.2', add-on API version '1.9.1'

Anyone else had this issue with the dev build?

Ok ive tested the new hw vaapi (except BOB) on Chromebox Celeron (cheapest one)
First thing is, Tvheadend doesnt work under this release since it doesnt met dependencies
Second, that is ok since I have some recorded interlaced tv shows, but in general a very shitty coincedence
Third I see that motion compensated has better results than motion adapted. I saw some "vibrating" horizontal lines on the later.

Please someone post when there is a release with working Tvheadend addon

//edit
it is also implemented for H264 only and not for MPEG2, that might be because mpeg2 in europe is SD material only (live TV) and this could be handled by advanced software de-interlacing. Is this the reason?

this. No idea on that device however.

I'm not going to get into posting/supporting pre-beta releases - that was a one-time thing. If there's not already a thread or two on the OpenELEC forums, then creating one would be the best way forward. This thread needs to stay on-topic: issues surrounding my coreboot firmware and the use of my script.

Are you watching MPEG2 DVD content ? ISTR that DVDs are handled separately to other content in XBMC.

Good point. No point going off topic and thanks for the build.

I've ended up going back to 4.1.6 because I'm currently more than happy with Yadif deinterlacing so I'll wait until it becomes "stable"
