can it really... care to give any tips? I'm really lost here. Googling Remux MKV to MP4 shows lots of little freeware tools but they all require the MKV to be H264 to begin with. I'm bout ready to give up and just make a list of movies that I have to turn off Vaapi acceleration to watch ... .so any and all help would be so appriaciated.
I'm sure I have FFMpeg on my PC , If only in the tools for MKVMerge ... I woudln't know how to use it though.

mkvtoolnix is also a good tool if you need a GUI.

I will so very try exactly that ... I have FFMpeg in my root directory but I think I need to add it to my "path" info in Windows before it will run as a command... I hope it works but I'm not great with command line stuff.
I tried two ways to add ffmpeg directory to windows path but it still tells me it's not executable.... Keep on trying I will
Dl-ing MKVtoolNix... I love and hate this type of thing... If I don't win within 3 days I'll have to give up till the frustration subsides.

I lost this round.... I bought into the OpenElec will save me from command line type fun.
I can't execute FFmpeg ... windows says no even though I tried like freakin heck to add it to the path
MKVtoolNix gives me a GUI but I have zero clue what to do with it. I dick around trying to choose some good options eventually get lost...
Truthfully... it may actually be easier to build a hefty PC to run Kodi on then to try to workout this Chromebox/Vaapi bug that never dies. I'll have to buy a few bottles of patience though.

What did you "buy" or whom did you pay?

This is my first post on the forum.
I just purchased a Asus chrome box and installed openelec standalone on it. NIm using the official iPhone app to control the box, but I'm not able to use the wake on loan function. It works fine to use suspend, the it turns off. But when I'm using the wake on lan, nothing happens.
Can someone please help me?
Regards Martin
be sure that the MAC address of the ChromeBox is properly set in the iPhone app

while I understand you are frustrated, you've give us no info to help you troubleshoot the issue. But since you are command-line averse, you might try using a GUI app for ffmpeg like http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffmpegyag/. Hot 'add task' to load the video file. Select 'MP4' as the format. Set the codec to 'copy' for both audio and video. Then hit 'encode.'

Kodi 14.1 stable is out now. Think I'd just run the script again to upgrade the last time, I guess it hasn't been updated yet. Guess we have to wait for an updated openelec build...

the script doesn't update your OS / Kodi, it just automates the initial installation process. Your OS/Kodi are updated however they do for the OS you are running.

Using an ASUS chromebox with oe standalone I am getting random video freezing where audio continues to play while playing many file formats. When that happens , my remote becomes unresponsive and I have to restart the chromebox. Anyone know of this problem? If not can you walk me through what I need to do to provide diagnostic material so you guys can help. Thanks!

does this happen with files on the internal hard drive or locally connected disks (eg, USB), or just with files on network (SMB) sources? If the latter, try using NFS instead of SMB.
RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [v3.10 - 2015/01/29] - BBock727 - 2015-02-03
Only have attempted to pull files from the network. I guess I'll try nfs but why would that matter? Just to help troubleshoot, my atv 2 with kodi works with the same files.

I finally got an MCE remote from Amazon today and attempting to setup on the Chromebox.... any pointers/tips for setting this up? I get the gist you have to setup as an MCE Remote/MCExtender (whatever that is) and possibly an MCE Keyboard but I saw someone doesn't use they keyboard anymore in their profile. A bit confusing to say the least. Is there a table that lists all of the keyboard shortcuts, etc to map it?
RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [v3.10 - 2015/01/29] - Zbart - 2015-02-03
A simple google search using words "kodi" and "keyboard" will give you all the kodi keyboard shortcuts. Reminder: this thread is for discussion and issues regarding Matt's script.

because OE has some issues with SMB sources I believe, not 100% sure

MCE remotes work OOTB, nothing to set up
(and as mentioned above, this has nothing to do with my script)
