I did try repeating the update procedure multiple times, but maybe the backup error caused something to go wrong. hard to say, I just can't reproduce the issue here - I flashed one of my dev boxes a few times w/o issue RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2016/04/18] - robca - 2016-04-26 I finally managed to set up my Chromebox with Openelec 6.95/Kodi 16, tvheadend and zap2xml EPG. I can see the EPG, and schedule recordings. I naively expected to be able to put my box in suspend mode and have it automatically start before a scheduled recording. I was wrong What's the "proper" way to ensure the Chromebox can wake up from suspend for a scheduled recording? I see that people have developed scripts for this (but they all seem to be 2-3 years old, and for much older versions of Openelec/Kodi). Or do I really have to leave my box on all the time to ensure scheduled recording are properly recorded? Is there are "script magic" I can use? Is the following a good starting point? https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki/Wakeup RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2016/04/18] - Matt Devo - 2016-04-26 (2016-04-26, 05:35)robca Wrote: I finally managed to set up my Chromebox with Openelec 6.95/Kodi 16, tvheadend and zap2xml EPG. I can see the EPG, and schedule recordings. that tvheadend link doesn't look relevant for something like OE. Personally, I'd just leave the box running 24/7, it barely uses any power at idle anyway. Or run your backend on another box that can more easily resume for scheduled recordings RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2016/04/18] - calcio1 - 2016-04-26 Bumping my earlier post Hello I posted my problem above without debug log Now here is my debug log. Many thanks for any help. And thanks Matt for a great product. Have been loving Kodi on Chromebox hassle free until this issue http://xbmclogs.com/pruyjrtng My Asus Chromebox has recently started behaving very oddly when playing videos Purple lines flash across the screen Green-tinged frames JUMP in and out Sometimes it just goes black for a second or two. All in all it's making it pretty unusable Has anyone had similar problems? I can post a debug log later when I get home. I have a feeling it's a hardware issue as it has worked fine for a year or more RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2016/04/18] - Matt Devo - 2016-04-26 (2016-04-26, 06:15)calcio1 Wrote: Bumping my earlier post "The page you are looking for does not exist."

Thanks for asking here's how: http://openelec.tv/forum/71-pvr-live-tv/80857-atsc-tvheadend-and-zap2xml#162489 Once I have everything working as I want, I plan to do a short writeup of the whole "how a newbie can setup a Chromebox with ATSC and free EPG". As you say, some of it might be, stricly speaking" a bit off topic, but I have to say that I find it maddening that there's no starting point for a newbie like me to get a fully working setup. Right now I'm pretty happy with where I am (box works well, EPG works, scheduled recording works... need to make sure I can set cron properly for activeperl/zap2xml) RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2016/04/18] - nickr - 2016-04-26 Thanks I have referred the other enquirer to your post, good work https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread-152-post-1251.html#pid1251 RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2016/04/26] - Matt Devo - 2016-04-26 script update 2016-04-26: - replace OpenELEC 7.0 beta with LibreELEC 7.0 release (Kodi 16.1 release) - fix a few minor script bugs RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2016/04/26] - liebezeit - 2016-04-26 Anyone tried Ubuntu 16.04 on their Chromebox?

The HDHomeRun tuner, Chromebox and RPi3 are all connected with a Gigabit switch, on an otherwise mostly unused home network.The Chromebox has a small 32G USB3 stick I use to store recorded programs (yes, too small for real use, but I'm still testing, and 32G is enough to record a few programs). The Chromebox is acting as the tvheadend server, and the RPi3 is using the tvheadend client (so are a couple of Windows PC I'm testing with) I can watch TV just fine both from the Chromebox and RPi3, including HD programs. I can watch TV from any of my Windows PCs running Kodi for Windows, too. When I record an HD program, I can watch it without problems from the Chromebox. But if I try to watch it remotely (RPi3 or a Windows PC), the video is choppy and the audio starts choppy, then disappear. I can watch SD programs without problems What am I doing wrong? Clearly the network is fast enough to watch a stream directly from the HDHomeRun. But once that same stream is recorded, it looks as if the network (or the Chromebox) is too slow to handle the stream... how can I start troubleshooting the problem?

Have you bought the £2.40 MPEG2 codec licence and installed it correctly on your Pi 3? The Pi 2 and Pi 3 can software decode SD MPEG2 (The Pi 1 and Zero can't) but you really need the licence for 1080i or 720p HD stuff, particularly HD 1080i as deinterlacing and software decode is too much for even a Pi 3.

Is there a large difference between OpenELEC and LibreELEC? Why the switch, only because OpenELEC is still in beta? |
