I thought maybe Broadcom chip, but I assume that is weaker than the Intel HD Graphics, if not and there would be some benefit I would be all over that.

If you're referring to the Broadcom CrystalHD (used in the ATV1), then the onboard Intel HD4000 is far superior.

I've looked around at most menus and the only spot I found it was in "directory service --> control panel --> LDAP" I don't know what LDAP is and assume it it not set up, nor do I have a name for it.

I do have R/W granted on editing the settings for the shared folder. Still looking for more and CIFS.

The following are checked yes for access: Enable Windows File Service, Enable SMB, Enable NFS, Enable NFSv4. Still getting "Operation not permitted error"

Control Panel-->File Services-->Win/Mac/NFS-->Enable Windows File Service

Control Panel-->Shared Folder-->(select folder)-->Edit-->Permissions-->guest-->enable read/write. (do for each shared folder)

then add as a source under Kodi as I previously described

This was all done prior to asking for help again. Tried again for fun, with same result. Other ideas?

For clarification, I'm trying to add under pictures and videos, then add pictures, "browse for source", select "windows network (SMB)", select Workgroup, select diskstation --> this is where the error pops up.

CrystalHD was removed from kodi, so you won't be able to use it at all.

Intel can decode 4K, do postprocessing and many things more. BCM70015 just sucks in comparison. It's from the Atom CPU age.

Edit: Intel can do H264 Level 5.1

Everything works great except that when I play a 3D movie, the chromebox does not trigger my LG tv to swich to SBS 3D mode. The Pi is able to do that with the same files (MKV with the 3D tag). So I am wondering if this is possible or is it unique to the Pi? The only difference is that the Pi was running stable builds for OE and Kodi, while now I have the most recent builds.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

There is an addon somewhere here in the forums to trigger 3D mode via network.

If Openelec was corrupted due to editing of files during SSH and cannot boot up now, but I can still Ctrl-D into Chrome OS, what is the correct way to restore the Openelec installation? Openelec was my default OS.

Should I run the EZ-script (once or twice?) again?

no, we'll edit the file from ChromeOS, just msg me on IRC later on. Unless you don't care about your settings, then you can just re-run the OpenELEC install from the script (once). Then msg me on IRC to figure out your AVR issue.

Just curious, you do have everything behind folders and not on a base drive, correct? My network has trouble sharing an entire drive unless I place it all inside a folder first. Just a suggestion.

(2014-12-23, 15:42)waterskier1018 Wrote: Yes, I have files in the folder I created as well as the default folders that came on the disk station (music, photos, videos,etc). Can't get to either due to problem. My samsung smart tv can see the default folders but not the one I made.

I assume this shouldn't be a problem? My goal was to put all my stuff in my own folders. It is on the same level as the default folders.

Is there a simple way to wipe out the chrome box so I can start over? Or is that silly if kodi is loading fine?

Basically i want 1080p/24p smooth playback, HD audio codecs passthrough to a capable receiver and 4k smooth playback. People were kind enough to answer and am convinced that a chromebox is the way to go. A Asus one.My question is this. For the things that i want do i have to get the i3 version with 4gigs of ram or the cheaper with celeron will do just fine? Again thanks a lot.
