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

The only oddity is there seems no way to pull up the detailed info (usually via o) when playing a video, the screen that shows dropped frames etc. This could be a bug in the LE alpha (beta) or the skin etc. but it's low priority, so I'll see if this corrects itself as the RC rolls out.

For anyone wanting a stable Kodi box that handles most anything, the Chromebox with LE and the UEFI boot is it.

On the front page it says your script supports 3205U Broadwell, but in the UK our spec says 3215U. Can you confirm if this is also supported by your script / UEFI firmware?

Thanks

Thanks.
