the adaptor appears to work just fine but i'm going nuts because for some reason i get this wavy part of the picture that will appear randomly on my tv upstairs. i'm not sure how to describe it other than picture interference that goes down the screen randomly every few minutes when trying to watch something. i had this problem with the first adaptor which made me think must be a crappy adaptor so i bought a 2nd one and i still get the same thing. the other problem is the adaptor will not work with any 7.1 dts-hd surround sound.

not sure if this problem is even avoidable i may be better off using an hdmi switch at this point. no idea what could be causing the problem with the adaptor.

for audio output, Kodi can only output one type at a time, so are you sure that the DP/HDMI output is selected? Not sure on the waviness issue, since I use a straight DP cable. Have you tried googling?

Hello all,

Thanks for all the help Matt. Tried to contact you back, but rules changed (I read the PM thread).

I followed all the proper steps for standalone OE on Asus CB M004U, realized some addons not working properly, and thought it could be because it was the Beta version. Saw that you updated the EZ script to include the Stable version of OE. BUT, I read in places, and maybe your post, that downgrading that far may be a bad idea, and it is better to full reinstall a previous version. Followed your link to OE's wiki and used youtube to figure it out. Seems done now.

Note: this requires you to have completed the Standalone Setup, which will update the ChromeBox's firmware to my custom coreboot build.

My questions:
1. What do you mean by YOUR custom coreboot build? My bad if this is a beginner question lol.
2. And if so, how is it different from following the OE wiki page and downloading the OS from OE's website? This is what I did.
3. Is there a reason to prefer one over the other?

Thanks!

1) I mean the coreboot firmware installed by my script under the standalone menu heading. You can't use the standard OpenELEC installer with the stock firmware, only with my custom firmware, due to a compatibility issue with the syslinux 6.x bootlaoder. Since you've already done a standalone setup, you're running my firmware and need to do nothing else, just download/install OpenELEC.
2) the firmware (aka BIOS) and OpenELEC (OS + Kodi) are completely separate/indepenedent; my firmware allows you to run the standard x86_64 version of OpenELEC (or any other OS)
3) n/a
