hi guys. first of all, thanks for all of your hard work with programming.
i discovered xbmc by accident 6 months ago, and i have not stopped smiling and spreading the word since.
Question.1
i should be receiving my asus chromebox next week,(upgrading from gbox running linux) and i want to go standalone openelec, but my question is, if i have a critical failure of openelec, i would just re install it, instead of trying to fix it, so if this happens, do you have to put chrome back in before you can reload openelec, or will it just go back in without chrome in stand alone.
Question2.
is there any real advantage of going standalone rather than duel boot, as i want from the box is xbmc?
sorry for the dumb question, but i fix john deere agricultural machines for a living, and not computers. all the best. steve.

After little over a month, one of my rear usb ports has gone dead on my Asus version. I read another user having this problem on a different forum.
I am beginning to question the build quality by Asus on these units. Not happy.

given the amount of insertions/removals the USB ports on my ChromeBox have seen over the past 8 months, if anyone was likely to have an issue it would be me. Bad hardware happens, and anecdotal evidence from forum posts does not necessarily indicate a widespread problem. Just RMA it and get a warranty replacement

I am having an odd problem with my Chromebox. Whenever I go to update my movie library I see it queries the TVDB instead of the TMDB. The source is set correctly but the only way I can get the library updated is to go into videos and then drill down to the source folder and scan for changes from there. I have even removed rebooted and then added the source back but the problem still persists.
Has anyone else encountered this?
Thanks
Bill

Alex,
looks like the fix I made in v3.1 of the script broke that function for older versions of ChromeOS. I just pushed a script update (3.2) which fixes it, so re-download and then re-run the script and it should work correctly

Is the chromebox running openelec able to play live TV (interlaced SD or HD) without issue? I was looking at the Celeron NUC until I read it doesn't handle live TV well at all.
Anyone using PVR on the chromebox?
