I have my ChromeBox set up and working great with the latest Kodi release, but I am experiencing some issues with my ChromeBox failing to boot.
My ChromeBox will not boot when the HDMI cable is connected to my Vizio P70 4k TV. It will freeze before it ever shows anything on the screen. No BIOS no nothing. TV says no signal. When I had the ChromeBox set to boot into Kodi after 30 seconds the box would never do the BIOS beep no matter how long I left it connected. The solution then was unplug HDMI, unplug power, connect power, wait for beep, connect HDMI. Then Kodi would boot. Since then I've completely re setup the BIOS to the one second option. I still have to disconnect the HDMI cable but at least once the power is connected I can reconnect it within a couple of seconds, no more waiting.
Anyone experienced this?
I'm thinking it has to do with the fact the ChromeBox doesn't appear to support 4k@60hz via 4:2:0 chroma. I'm guessing it handshakes at 4k then fails/freezes when the TV can't do 4:4:4 chroma. Or something like that. Not a question relevant to this thread but: Anyway to completely disable 4k output in the ChromeBox hardware?
