OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2
#41
I've tested all three of my Belkin F5u700 hubs, two with the LEDs intact and one which I removed them from and they all seem to get rather hot. The USB sockets on the side exposed to the outside of my case are not quite hot enough to burn me but still uncomfortably warm to hold my fingers on. In comparison, my desktop 7-port hub is quite warm in the middle but not around the sockets.

My desktop hub is obviously not enclosed in a case but still I wouldn't expect the Belkin hub to get quite so hot. I'll try leaving it outside the case and see if that makes it much cooler. Does anyone else who's using a hub with their Pi find it gets rather hot?

EDIT: Nope, even outside the case it gets just as hot, so it's not due to a lack of ventilation. I think I already tried this (and found it ran cool) but I'll try unplugging the remote receiver so that there's nothing except the Pi's cable connected to it but I don't see why the draw for the remote receiver, which shouldn't be that much, should make the hub so hot.


Does anyone know what section of remote.xml applies to the menu that appears when pressing left or right (or up/down depending on the view) in Movies or Music? I've got the contextmenu covered, which appears when I press Info on an item but I need to set a key for this other menu (that shows View, Sort By, toggle Library Mode, etc).
