RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [v3.5 - 2014/12/22] - malik500 - 2014-12-24

Has anyone been able to display the fan speed in linux? Lm-sensors (and sensors-detect) does not detect the fan control module.
My fan was making an annoying noise. I managed to get it to stop by turning off the chromebox and tapping it on the bottom a couple of times, but I'm concerned that it isn't running at all now. I can monitor the coretemp via lm-sensors (so I can check if it's actually overheating; I've been unable to get it over 60C so it isn't), but would like to see the fanspeed also.

Should've done a chromeos/openelec dual boot. I didn't like chromeos at first but it's a little fantastic OS imho. Something you should consider.

@malik500, this may work....
I don't run it personally.

Hi Matt:
Since the Official Kodi was release today,is our Chromebox going to auto update to Kodi?

Kodi official was released, but OpenElec is running a bit behind that and just had RC3 come out (remember, unlike vanilla Kodi, OpenElec has a whole OS behind it to support as well as their own Kodi customizations). I'm sure the official stable version will be out in the next few weeks.
RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [v3.5 - 2014/12/22] - fritsch - 2014-12-24
OE RC3 is the final kodi, but missing the "one liner", to change the version :-).
We will change some things though for final (mostly with Cubox powerdown setup), but for the rest, we look very stable for now. Besides some Pentium GT1 issues, those hang the kernel like nothing I have seen before.

As many people always ask, what the chromebox can do:
H264
Limit: http://distribution.bbb3d.renderfarming.net/video/mp4/bbb_sunflower_1080p_30fps_normal.mp4 2160p @ 30fps
Too much: http://distribution.bbb3d.renderfarming.net/video/mp4/bbb_sunflower_2160p_60fps_normal.mp4 2160p @ 60fps
HEVC:
Works: http://www.libde265.org/hevc-bitstreams/bbb-1920x1080-cfg02.mkv (1080p @ 60 fps)
Too much (slightly): http://www.libde265.org/hevc-bitstreams/bbb-1280x720-cfg02.mkv (720p @ 60 fps)
Here an average HEVC file, that works quite well:

Edit: I admit the 60 fps are not really everyday files (but good to show the limits)

Will this cause an issue with some of us using special skin?

I guess the other issue with 2160/60p content is that that HDMI 1.4 output can't carry 2160/60p 4:2:2/4:4:4 and Intel haven't done the driver trick (yet?) to add 2160/60p 4:2:0 (which is an HDMI 2.0 mode backwards compatible with HDMI 1.4 bandwith) that nVidia did. (Given that pretty much all video content released is 4:2:0 then that isn't a horrific limitation for video quality, though the UI and photos would suffer)
Does the Displayport output on the Chromebox support 2160/60p? (I believe it needs "multi stream" to do this ?)

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.
Ok I haven't changed anything. Will wait for you on IRC today. Or let me know if I should just reinstall OpenElec instead. Thanks.
Hi Matt, how do you edit the config file from ChromeOS? I went into command prompt and only see the script file 3Tfu5W and a couple of other files.

been lurking about for a while and was looking for somthing to replace my main raspberry pi in the living room for somthing with abit more grunt, it looks like a chromebox might just do everything i need which is play video files from my nas at up to 1080p am sorry i dont know if there anything fancy like some of you guys mention this 60p stuff i just know they are 1080p lol.
which chromebox is the perfered model from what i can tell it seems to be the asus celeron with 2gb or ram is there any benifit to getting the 4gb model. if i can get one in the sales for a good price as there quite expensive in the uk otherwise it will mostlikly just be set up to run openelec.
RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [v3.5 - 2014/12/22] - noggin - 2014-12-24
For OpenElec 2GB RAM is fine. I'd go for the Asus if you can - it's supposed to be a bit quieter than the HP and others. It also has a second RAM slot so you can upgrade more easily than with the HP which only has a single SODIMM slot.

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?
sounds like a diskstation issue and not an OE/Kodi one, since your TV can't see the folders either. I'd make sure you can access them from a Windows PC before trying again in Kodi.
Does mapping them from the DS as a network drive count, or do I need to setup in another manner to confirm DS is OK? I did this already and it works great.
Bump. Does mapping as a network drive on winPC count at validation for your request above, or do I need to mount the share differently?
