" An Intel Linux video driver bug ( https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78960 ) causes intermittent freezes/pauses.
Workaround: (OpenELEC 4.x) enable the 'Use SW filter for VAAPI' option Settings-->Video-->Acceleration.
Note: this bug is fixed in OpenELEC 5.0.0, but currently requires an updated or patched kernel for other Linux distros. Update to kernel 3.18.4 or later, or see this forum post for a pre-patched kernel: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=194362&pid=1877749#pid1877749 "

Thought that kernel was also suitable for Openelec...

fritsch, which model have you found at reasonable price in germany ? The Asus is out of reach (200€), Dell has no public listing on their site...

I've had my Chromebox up and running in the dual boot configuration for a couple of weeks now. Thanks Matt Devo for the EZ script!

Everything has been working great, and still is. However I seem to have developed a strange issue. On the white boot screen where you pick which side to boot with Ctrl-D or Ctrl-L the language on that screen is no longer in English. It appears to be Chinese or Japanese or something, not really sure. I haven't changed any settings since I did the initial setup. Just wondering if anyone knows how this happened and how to fix it. Everything still seems to be working as normal its just the fact that the language on that screen only somehow got changed.

Any tips would be appreciated!

Thanks a lot for these scripts.

I've used them to install your custom firmware and then Mark Walker's custom Plex Home Theatre / OpenELEC build (https://forums.plex.tv/index.php/topic/88788-oe-install-and-package-status-thread/) on an Asus Chromebox M039.

I'm currently running SeaBIOS (version rel-1.7.5-146-g9342bc8-20150107-MattDevo) and the box is setup as single boot of the
OpenELEC-Plex-Intel-3.2.4-217-Plex-Home-Theater-1.3.6-0f259cb.x86_64 build of Mark Walker's custom Plex Home Theatre / OpenELEC package which was installed from a livestick as per http://www.cuttingcords.com/home/2015/1/2/turning-a-chromebox-into-a-full-fledged-plex-home-theater-client.

When connected to the Chromebox configured as above as root via SSH, I tried to run the firmware update script but it failed as per below.

Any ideas please?

Thanks!

I believe the left and right arrows change the language on the developer boot screen.

1. Can Openelec (standalone) be installed on SSD instead of USB/flashdrive? From the instructions, I see only installation on USB/flashdrive for standalone.
2. If it is installed on USB/Flashdrive, what is the purpose of the the 16GB SSD (other than storing some small local media)?

OpenELEC is installed to the internal SSD from the USB installation media; the script simply provides a convenient function to download/create the installation media for you, so you don't have to do it from another machine.
