1 question though, if you release a upgrade to the bios, how do i get back in the menu to upgrade it?

Do i just plug in a random usb stick and press esc to get to the menu?

Thanks for all your work!

As per the wiki/OP, there is a separate firmware update script listed for OE users, you would simply open up a SSH session to the box (using Putty, eg) and run that script from there.

Exact model is VRC-1100

Receiver and included remote work great (editing keymap would have to be done for perfect match)
Works great with harmony, and harmony has a profile ready for ortek, than just add MCE or Windows Media Center.

Anyone know if this is fixed in uppcomming kodi? (i know the patch right now is turn sw off, but it makes the cpu load higher)

Again matt thx for the script!

I can also confirm that the ASUS Xonar U3 USB audio stick functions as plug-and-play. I have not actually tried the SPDIF output just yet, but the option comes up in XBMC, and headphone output is otherwise great (sounds WAY better than the built-in analog audio).

Quote:on an MCE remote, it's the guide button

Quote:in the harmony app or myharmony software you want to add a new device, select computer, for the OS select windows as it has the most buttons available. next you'll want to create an activity using that device. after you've done so sync the hub. next you'll want to be on the openelec bluetooth settings screen and have a keyboard available. in the harmony app select the new activity you just created and it should say pairing. in openelec you should see the hub pop up called harmony keyboard. select that and hit pair and trust (i believe). in the harmony app you should see that it has paired and you should now be able to control xbmc.

you'll likely want to edit the buttons via myharmony and keymap.xml (wiki) as there are several that do not work out of the box. for instance none of the colored transport buttons translate to xbmc so you'll need to use other buttons for those. instead i have the red button mapped to Record, the green button mapped to Windows, the yellow button mapped to FullScreen, and the blue button mapped to AudioLanguage. i then set up a custom keymap.xml so that pressing the red button while at the xbmc home will update my library but if i'm playing a video it will turn subtitles on and off. it takes a little work to set up but is worthwhile.

if you set a button in myharmony but it doesn't do anything, or what you intended, in xbmc your best bet is to log in to openelec via putty (with debug logging enabled) and run the following command:

Code:

tail -f .xbmc/temp/xbmc.log | grep OnKey

press a button on your remote and you'll see a line similar to this:

Code:

12:45:17 T:140024275273536   DEBUG: OnKey: return (0xf00d) pressed, action is Select

if you get nothing popping up in your log then that means the button isn't recognized by openelec for whatever reason and you'll need to use another key. i think the harmony menu button doesn't work or is non-existent so for that button i have it set to Mute instead since i control volue with my avr.

i just opened the harmony app and it looks like logitech added even more buttons you can possibly use. still no number keys for some reason though, not that i use them but some might. worst case you can open the harmony app and use the soft keyboard for those.

how about a fresh reload of OpenELEC to rule out any software issues

Good idea, I will give it a try

The odd thing is it was running for quite some time with the boot screen up while I was making another bootable usb on my laptop but shortly after I rebooted into OpenELEC/XBMC it shut down and once again no light, no power...nothing. BTW when I was monitoring the temp the other day it said it was 137 degrees F not C if that makes a difference? I wish I could narrow this down to a replaceable component and not junk the whole box.
Again, your help is appreciated. Thanks
