I have two issues now;
1. I can't get it to boot properly if the HDMI is plugged into my AVR. The TV shows no input on the HDMI source from the AVR. It boots fine if connected to a PC monitor though.
2. I've moved my advancedsettings.xml into Userdata but my library isn't populating. I've added the sources etc. and 'update library' does nothing.
3. Also won't play any videos from the NAS. The name shows up top right of the screen when you select something to play after finding it through the network, but video window doesn't open and video doesn't play.

I wonder if the alpha release has an issue.

I'll work on issue 1 and see if some other setting is affecting it on boot.

Thanks

If the refresh rate is set at certain values, such as 60hz, the input is seen as a PC input, but if you change it to 30hz the regular TV options come back. I'll need to do some further testing but it could be as simple as ensuring to stay away from what Samsung sees as a 'PC refresh rate'.

Should've bought a Sony!

potentially 60.0Hz vs 59.97Hz? there are various standards for timings, it could be as simple as that. Either way it seems like Samsung's firmware on these sets is pretty buggy and inflexible.

If you'd like, I can provide you with a custom firmware that is limited to 1080p and uses different timings to try and sort out the issue -- shoot me an email at mrchromebox at gmail

I installed the UEFI firmware today and noticed my cabling (in wall) doesn't handle 2160p well, even though the Chromebox and 4k TV handshake to 2160p. This has been my issue, which I workaround by connecting temporarily with a short HDMI cable to get up and running.

not super easily unfortunately, but I'll look into it some more. The main problem is I don't have a 4K set to test, and I'm leery of pushing a change like that without proper testing

I've always used an xrandr command within an autostart.sh to force 1080p, but it hasn't worked well since moving from OE to LE, not sure why. I wonder if there's a way to delay the xrandr command a few seconds without holding up the rest of the boot (not sure if "sleep 5" or something like that would work, or hold up the boot process). Had any luck there?

I've never had a reason to do so / haven't tested it. As I said before, I can easily build a firmware that has a fixed boot resolution of 1080p, and I can provide you an easy way to update to it, I just don't want to make that the default (yet)
