TRYING to set up a chrome box to be my kodi player so that I can ditch the lackluster AppleTV2 I'm currently using for Kodi. I thought that I followed the steps to a T on the walk-through but I guess I messed something up along the way. I have the Asus Chromebox CN60, trying to run a standalone set up, don't really have a preference though. And an older Macbook Pro chugging along. I disabled firmware protect. I put in developer mode. I believe I performed the factory reset. I even got to the point where I ran the Chromebox Setup Script. The box then reset and came back with the "Press ESC for boot menu" It won't boot from the Internal HD, and I have yet to successfully get it to boot from a USB stick. (I tried 7 different sticks) I created a Chromebox Recovery Stick and when I boot from that, It displays the white Chrome logo and then just keeps rebooting. Please give me some guidance here fellas. Thanks in advance. RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2016/01/03] - Matt Devo - 2016-01-17 (2016-01-17, 02:55)TimPro Wrote: Noob here. TRYING to set up a chrome box to be my kodi player so that I can ditch the lackluster AppleTV2 I'm currently using for Kodi. what option(s) did you select from the EZ setup script? For a standalone OpenELEC setup, you should have first installed the standalone firmware, then created the OpenELEC USB install media. When you say you tried 7 different sticks, what exactly did you try to do with them? Did you create the OpenELEC install media as per the instructions on/linked to by the wiki? The ChromeOS recovery media (and recovery button functionality) only works with the stock firmware. Once you flash my custom firmware, all ChromeOS functionality is gone - you just have a regular PC that needs an OS installed. RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2016/01/03] - GemofGod - 2016-01-20 After doing a dual boot Chrome OS/Ubuntu, can I go back and make an sd card with the OpenELEC and follow those directions also so I can try OpenELEC as well or will that change the Legacy boot so it doesn't work with ubuntu?

If you didn't/don't set the boot priority to USB, you will simply have to press ESC then select the USB/SD device in order to boot OpenELEC.

I am trying to get it on a Asus Chromebox with i7.You're likely to find few if any here who have done so. The Haswell GT1 GPU used in the Celeron 2955U/57U, which comprises the vast majority of Chromeboxes sold, doesn't have hardware acceleration support under OSX, making installation an academic exercise mainly. The HD4400 GPU in the i3/i7 models is supported) or can be made to work) and I know a few guys with i3 Acer C720s that have loaded OSX, so it can be done, but that's really out of scope for this thread and forum.

I was wondering if there were openelec builds with kodi 16 (jarvis). Couldn't see in the openelec download page, though not sure why they don't show the version of kodi that's included.

There are threads for OpenELEC test builds for Kodi 16/17 on the linux/live support subforum here (and issues with those builds should be reported in their respective threads). Not sure why they don't notate it on the download page, but on the news post for each release it does usually state which Kodi version is included. RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2016/01/03] - mightiK - 2016-01-22 Thanks for the great info in this forum! Searched my issue but cannot find adequate solution.... I'm replacing my Windows HTPC to this Chromebox. I hook up my dual boot Chromebox (OpenELEC) to a Vizio M-series tv HDMI port, and found that when power on the box, the developer screen will not show on the TV. It will not accept CTRL-L nor CTRL-D, nor get into default OS after 30 seconds of idle, it simple won't boot other than the power light on the box is on. If I unplug the HDMI and reboot, the box actually boot up fine, and even I then connect back to the TV during the first 30 seconds (before it auto boot into OS), the TV will show the developer screen just fine. The box is working fine with my other HDMI display. It is obviously a device hand-shake issue, but I don't have a clue how to tackle this problem. Any recommendation please?

Searched my issue but cannot find adequate solution.... there's not much you can do with the ChromeBox itself to correct the issue. Easiest (though not cheapest) solution would probably be to get a HDMI handshake device that stores the display's EDID from a working scenario. Unfortunately I can't make any first-hand recommendations. RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2016/01/03] - Boulder - 2016-01-23 I use a LINDY EDID Emulator, it works flawlessly with my Chromebox. |
