is there any video with some easy instructions? I am kind of confused by the OP so I hope someone can help me out want to turn this chromebox into Kodi box
This guy does a pretty good job of showing how to dual boot. https://youtu.be/9gQgSDdZuLY
Watch that video and follow along the instructions on this thread and it wont be that hard. Just remember to remove the screw on the inside and do a stand alone set up of openelec, thats the easiest way to get up and running. If you need any help along the way, we can help answer any questions you have.
Honestly, that video confuses things more than it helps, which is why I removed the link I had in the OP. The OP lists the exact steps, in the exact order, for both standalone and dual boot setups. Some of those steps refer back to the wiki, while others reference sections of the script listed in the OP itself, but outside of that there shouldn't be any confusion.
@pattuspl if something in the wiki/OP isn't clear, ask a specific question so I can edit the OP/wiki to make things more clear for future ChromeBox users
Yea I am sorry if you guys think I might be lazy asking for video but I am confused by few things.
Do I need to open up the box and really remove that screw which is the write protection thingy?
And yea I saw the video many people in comments actually didn't get it to work because he skipped much stuff.
