Just tried this - and no MADI or MCDI options were visible? (However the Kodi build didn't look like FernetMenta's fork as it didn't have the Prefer VAAPI method and still included the SW deinterlace?)

not sure what to say, I did a clean install on my CB and tested both of those options with 50i content.

Matt thanks for the response. What sort of things will need to be redone? The help text says OE configurations which I guess ok but it also says "xbmc to default including your library".

Does the last bit means that all xbmc settings will go to their default and the library items will have to be rescan as well. Will all sources be also reset needing setup?

Lastly, any idea if just waiting for next update to install over will fix whatever corruption happen?

Thanks again.

you'll have to redo everything essentially, same as a clean install, though it won't delete any files you have on the disc (that's what the 'hard' reset does). No idea what causes the issue or if it can be fixed without wiping clean. Part of the fun when running beta software.

Right now I can`t reproduce the problem. But I will have the camera ready each time I start the box from sleep.

One more question:
I have many movies, MKVs that wont play, but they play nicely on the Windows Machine with XBMC on.
Is this normal for this box, or is it something I can do to make it play more MKVs?

MKV is a container, just like AVI - it tells us nothing about the audio/video streams contained therein. If a specific file won't play, turn on debug logging, attempt to play the file, then turn off debug logging, and post the log (using pastebinit) - there's plenty of instructions on the site on how to do so. So far, I've yet to run across anything the Chromebox flat out "won't play" so my guess is that the file is encoded in a non-standard way or somehow damaged, and for whatever reason Windows is able to handle that a bit more gracefully.
