• Anyone know if there are issues with receivers (specifically Pioneer's) and Chromebox? This receiver handled Crystalbuntu on the OG Apple TV great.
  
• Is Pulse Audio just outright broken on 4th generation Intel Devices in Linux, period? I'll assume this is Intel's fault until corrected.
  
• If Pulse Audio is not broken on the Chromebox / *ubuntu, is there a different version number or distro that I should be / can be using (Ex. Arch?)? (I still definitely want Netflix working, though I'm fine with using pipelight if necessary.)
  
• Is Alsa audio the only way get consistent audio in XBMC currently in *ubuntu 14?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Basically, if I am watching either TV or a movie (it seems regardless of which Add-on), the picture will randomly freeze after about 30 minutes or so. There is no buffering and the sound continues, so the stream hasn't dropped but the picture is completely frozen and the keyboard won't respond. The only thing I can do is unplug the whole box and reboot it.

Is there a log that I can turn on to see what might be the cause? (Please excuse my technical ignorance on this!)

Any help gratefully received.

Did you follow all of the settings recommendation in the wiki

Sorry to rehash a repetitive topic, but is there any way to choose my OS during boot-up without Ctrl-D-ing the keyboard? I am using the k400 and realize it's limitations at the Developer Screen (I temporarily used my HP keyboard for initial set-up). A search through this (enormous) thread showed several posts on the keyboard but I didn't find what I was hoping for.

Thx!

Have you rebooted after "check for updates?

What I tried was, downloaded the 4.2.1 update (.tar - OpenELEC Stable - Generic x86_64 Version:4.2.1) and then SSH's into the CB and placed this file in location of /storage/update.

then rebooted - presto 4.2.1

not sure what was what - but this worked

much easier just to copy the file over via SMB, as per the OE instructions, but to each his/her own
