I do have my audio settings on passthrough, and marked my receiver as capable of all audio formats, but when I play a DTS-HD movie or DD 5.1 tv show, my receiver doesn't recognize the format. I can even hear Kodi is doing some audio processing, as the pitch goes wonky on play/pause. Anyone else having this problem on their chromebox?

Edit: never mind, solved! In Settings --> Player --> Video --> Playback section, I had "Sync playback to display" enabled, which disables passthrough and also resamples audio, thus the wonkiness.

Now I'm wondering, which settings are optimal for the chromebox in the Processing section? E.g. render method, hardware acceleration, etc. Thanks!

I am having trouble setting up vpn service (PIA) in the os. My understanding is that Openelec has a PIA vpn setup available. Would I need to go back to chrome os original configuration the proceed with the openelec process? Or can I just boot to OpenElec usb and install.

Updating my Asus Chromebox to 16.1 or 17alpha (OpenELEC or LibreELEC) causes the screen to flash black (cut in and out) when in a menu.
I am on the latest SeaBios.
Is anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it? Thanks!

video? I heard of that with some of the earlier LibreELEC 8.0 alpha builds, but thought it was fixed in Milhouse's recent test builds. I haven't heard of that issue with LE 7.0 (Kodi 16.1). You might try backing up your config and doing a reset to make sure it's not a config problem somewhere

(2016-07-09, 21:47)enchantedplague Wrote: It only seems to do it when in a menu (settings, browsing videos etc.) When a video is playing or on the main screen there are no issues.
LibreELEC 7.0.2 does it less often then LibreELEC 8.0.
OpenELEC 6.0.3 does not do it at all.

I have tried reformatting the drive and doing a fresh install, but it makes no difference.
