Last time I checked BBB @4k/60fps worked fine on my celeron Chromebox. I'll check it again later just to be sure my memory haven't failed me.

Quote:Please understand me correctly, EGL is awesome and I'm looking forward to 16.04 and Kodi 17 when everything should be in place in regards to both Linux/Kodi... with Kaby Lake Nucs/Chromeboxes and hopefully support for 10bit+ processing/output support for UHD/HDR coming in at a later date for Linux/Intel/Kodi and..and..and But the point is that except for a little banding (and lack of wtw), that in my opinion isn't really that noticable for most people, you don't need to install OE/EGl just for the sake of it, if everything already works fine for you.

Quote:But to be specific on this case: I've seen pettergulbraa having various issues with Kodibuntu on the forum that he couldn't get to the bottom of. (Probably more than a few cases since I remember håthe nickname) Maybe he would be better off with OE after all.

If you're not comfortable in linux, you should probably be running OpenELEC anyway.

Also for those keeping track, the newest Ubuntu kernel, 4.2.0-18, still kernel panics on boot. Stick with the 4.3.0 mainline.

What exactly is your question/problem? Your sandy bridge Chromebox is supported by my script/firmware in standalone mode. After flashing the firmware, you can run the Intel-EGL build of OpenELEC just like everyone else here

Quote:Maybe I misunderstand now (not that good in English), do you mean that OE i not that supported like KodiBuntu?

Quote:I`m not that good in Linux. PPA?
So as you can see, I`m not good in Linux, mainly used Linux, the little I have used it this past Year (I think), is to try it for the Kodi sake and to have a web browser in Kodi. :-)

(2015-11-22, 23:15)alioop Wrote: ok so im dont with installing the firmware (stanalone) but now when im going to boot i dont have the option to click ESC it says "the device you inserted does not contain Chrome OS.Try another? "
i guess thats becuase i need to 'Disable Firmware Write Protect' but how do i do that i know where but i dont know how
