RE: Asus ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC or Ubuntu+XMBC) [v2.14 - 2014/07/12] - Matt Devo - 2014-07-18 (2014-07-18, 05:33)wallstreet1 Wrote: I have only one issue. My Chomebox is setup to go into S3 sleep after 15 minutes of idle. If I turn off the TV it is connected to before the Chromebox sleeps, then I will have no audio when I resume. I had the same issue with an Intel Celeron 847 board I was using before this, and to fix it I had to add a script mentioned here: I'm not sure that fix is valid for OpenELEC 4.x - there's just too much different between 3.x and 4.x. I don't suppose it would hurt to try though. If it doesn't work, you'll likely get the best support in the OpenELEC IRC channel.

RE: Asus ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC or Ubuntu+XMBC) [v2.14 - 2014/07/12] - igjunk - 2014-07-18 Matt, first of thanks a lot for all the hard work you have put into this. It really has helped a lot of people! I tried followed all of the instructions, but now my chromebox reboots with the following message: "SeaBIOS (version rel-1.7.5-9-ge0678e9-20140709-MattDevo) Booting from Hard Disk... And there is nothing I can do except reboot it. I tried factory reset with the reset button, but it ignores it. I tried pressing ESC to get to the boot menu, tried pressing CTRL-D, and still nothing. Any suggestions? Thanks!

It really has helped a lot of people! Assume you ran the setup for a standalone, and are now trying to boot a USB stick to install your OS? Do you get the 'PRess ESC for boot menu' text before it tries to boot the internal HDD?

I'll need to hook back up to my Panny VT50 to confirm, but this isn't optimal on my Dell WFP-2408.

Am I completely screwed, now? no, it just means you need to install OpenELEC from a USB stick, like everyone else running a standalone setup you can either download OpenELEC from their website, or if you want the ability to wake from suspend using a keyboard/mouse/IR remote, download my custom build from the link on the wiki. Follow the instructions for a standalone setup from the OP.

Regardless, with the 2408, I can either have a smooth ramp (XBMC: limited) or a proper black level of 16 (XBMC: not limited), but not both. xrandr Automatic defaults to Full; setting it to Limited 16:235 completely destroys my blacks (ie, there are none) |
