the shutdown/suspend function is only relevant when the timer setting above is active; otherwise it just sets the function of the remote 'powertoggle' command

I didn't make any changes with my Harmony remote configuration, and when I was using OpenELEC with a dualboot config (done back in the early days of the script), the Chromebox never shut down. Guess I'll need to modify the settings on the remote and make sure it's set for the device to be always on.

I tried to follow instructions in Wiki, but this part was bit odd to me:

"Note that this will re-partition the internal hard drive and restore the original copy of ChromeOS, erasing anything else on the drive. The ChromeBox will still be left in developer mode, and if you changed the Boot Options they will still be set - so be sure to reset them back to the 'ChromeOS + 30s default' option before performing a factory reset. If you forget to do that, you'll need to press [CTRL-D] on the developer boot screen (or before the legacy boot/SeaBIOS boot screen) in order to boot ChromeOS after performing the recovery. "

So I did restore the stock firmware via Ubuntu, and then performed reset with Google's restore media. While in Ubuntu and running that restoring script, it said something about running script again after restoring for setting boot options, but I can't boot to usb-stick anymore with stock firmware?

I was wondering if you'd be able to help. I bought a new Samsung TV during Black Friday and it finally arrived today. When I went to go plug-in my Chromebox (i3 with LibreElec connected via HDMI) the screen was blank and it told me that there wasn't any source.

Is there an option in Kodi/LibreElec to get the box and TV to play nice? I tried connecting the Chromebox to my older LG TV and it fired up right away.

Have you encountered something similar? Any thoughts or tips are greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

There appears to be some sort of issue with the video BIOS (vbios) used in the stock firmware (as well as my custom Legacy boot firmware) and 4K sets. One potential solution is to use my new UEFI boot firmware, which doesn't use a video BIOS, and should be more compatible with 4K sets, but will require you to backup/reinstall OE/restore your backup

A quick question for you. I installed the UEFI firmware and then installed LibreElec, and it loaded everything well. How would I update the firmware going forward? I'm well versed using your script by going into the ChromeOS but now that it isn't there how would I go about it?

Also, I hear the fan pretty high since going to UEFI, is there a utility to minimize the fan speed/noise?

Cheers,

same as you flashed it now - from a shell terminal in a Linux distro that has a real bash shell

the fan speed / thermal threshold defaults shouldn't have changed going from one firmware to the other, but you can control the fan speed thru whatever mechanism the OS supports/provides

did the UEFI firmware at least resolve the issue with your 4K set?

As for the fan issue, I may have to re-run everything as I can't find an option to control fan speed in LibreElec.
