RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2015/04/23] - stuCONNERS - 2015-04-24 @binhex01 I can confirm this. HP Chromebox with HP MCE Receiver doesnt work on front port after reboot. Works with USB hub on rear USB ports. Whats USB tuners are you using? Have you tried them both on a hub? How was the performance? Im looking as adding a second usb tuner on a USB hub.

How was the performance? Im looking as adding a second usb tuner on a USB hub. im using two dual tuner DVB-T USB KWorld UB499-2T adapters, ive had these for a couple of years now and they work really well, openelec picks them up no problems and i see the adapters listed in tvheadend as "Afatech AF9033". Both of these tuners are now connected to a 4 port USB 3.0 Hub (Anker hub) hanging off one of the rear ports, i see no issues with performance, for kicks i had it recording 9 shows simultaneously and it worked, channel switching is also pretty good with < 1 second delay, all in all im pretty happy with the end result. i did have some fights with tvheadend configuraiton, but it's not relevant to this thread, so i will leave it there :-). RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2015/04/23] - nickr - 2015-04-25 Great stuff Matt Devo. Very quick after reading the instructions 2 or 3 times and having been following the thread for a while. I already had an openelec install USB so didn't need to create that. Watching the news on it now. My only problem was wondering how forceful to be taking the feet off. This helped. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8aBOWOKAQo RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2015/04/23] - calev - 2015-04-26 (2015-04-24, 12:52)stuCONNERS Wrote: @binhex01 I can confirm this.

RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2015/04/23] - rlillie - 2015-04-26 Matt, First, thanks for your great work. Are there any plans for a standalone option for the new Broadwell builds (specifically, the Acer c740)?

I'd recommend just installing my Legacy BIOS update, setting the boot options to 1s / Legacy Boot default, and then installing OpenELEC (eg) from USB as normal.

Thanks, Matt. RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2015/04/23] - malahal - 2015-04-26 I used the script to install standalone ubuntu 10.04 (from a usb media, I think). Installed kodi as well, and they all work OK but after sometime the video stops and audio continues to play. Chrome/firefox/kodi all have this issue. I have 3.13 latest kernel that is shipped as part of 10.04 LTS. Forums seem to indicate that this could be due to intel video driver bug, so I installed 3.19 from canonical mainline ppa. When I boot with 3.19 kernel, it boots up all the way (I have auto login), but I can't use my keyboard (Logitech K400). Keyboard works fine with 3.13.0-49 boot though! I followed the instructions here to install 3.19: http://askubuntu.com/questions/598483/how-can-i-use-kernel-3-19-in-14-04-now Specifically by doing: sudo apt-get install linux-{image,headers}-3.19.\*-generic Wondering anyone used that method here on ASUS chromebox, and successfully updated the kernel to avoid the intel video bug. I will try ubuntu forums as well. Appreciate any help. RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2015/04/23] - atilaks - 2015-04-26 Hi Matt, Would it be possible to add standalone firmware support for Dell Chromebook 11 (aka Wolf) to your script? Thank you. PS. I've just realized that latest.version file on your dropbox has not been updated since february 2015 and update-script (http://goo.gl/HSZer4) does not work anymore. I had to modify it by hand RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2015/04/23] - Matt Devo - 2015-04-26 (2015-04-26, 20:43)malahal Wrote: I used the script to install standalone ubuntu 10.04 (from a usb media, I think).

Keyboard works fine with 3.13.0-49 boot though! since this isn't a kodi-related hardware or script issue, www.ubuntuforums.com is where's I recommend you try for help, but in general running older software on newer hardware isn't the best recipe. 14.04 with an updated kernel is the oldest I'd recommend (2015-04-26, 20:54)atilaks Wrote: Hi Matt, Wolf is currently supported for a dual-boot config, and you can run it standalone as I recommended for the Broadwell ChromeBooks above. If you really want a standalone firmware, you can try using John Lewis' as linked in the OP, but those aren't supported by me. I've build standalone firmwares for other ChromeBooks, but I have no ability to test/troubleshoot so they're unsupported at best RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2015/04/23] - atilaks - 2015-04-26 Ok, thanks, I will check John Lewis' fw. RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2015/04/23] - atilaks - 2015-04-26 Hi Matt, It looks like the legacy bios for Wolf does not work. All I get is a blank screen. Everything is ok when I use a patched seabios file from here: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=348403#c4 Could it be because of misnamed VGA option rom?

RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2015/04/23] - atilaks - 2015-04-27 My bad Matt, looks like everything is ok now. Something must have went wrong the first time. Edit: Actually it is not. I get to see seabios output first, when bios is trying to boot from the hard drive. It is completely blank in the beginning, so I do not see 'Press ESC for a boot menu' and I cannot choose to boot from USB. It is kind of difficult to explain The bios version is 2015-04-23. |
