Now, I have a Braswell Samsung Chromebook 3 (xe500c13-k02us) that my son trashed the screen on so I have decided to convert it to a KODI box running into a 1080p Panasonic Plasma via hdmi. I downloaded the script and decided to do a dual boot with LibreElec on a USB stick and the install went perfectly and when I CTRL-L it boot's straight into LibreElec. So far,so good. The issue I'm having is when LibreElec boots it does so at the resolution of the Chromebook, which is 1366x768. So the Chromebook screen is filled completely but the image on the plasma is only a smallish window that occupies about a quarter of the upper left part of the screen. Not a problem, i'm thinking, so I head into the display area of the system settings to change the resolution but the monitor is listed as default and the maximum resolution selection is 1366x768 and not the 1080p that my tv is capable of. So I switch the monitor from default to HDMI2, which is my plasma, but as soon as I do I get a black, blank screen on both tv and chromebook screen and no image and there it stays. I've tried and tried but just can't seem to sync this Samsung book up to my tv. Anyone have a similar issue or thoughts on how to resolve the problem?

In the previous version of Kodi (jarvis) after a suspend, the library would get updated. This allowed me to leave the box in standby mode instead of shutting it down. All this so I didn't have to get up from the couch to press the 'on' button and could do it via my harmony remote.

However after the krypton update, it seems that the 'update library on startup' doesn't seem to work after a 'resume'. Does anyone know if this is because of the way libreelec/chromebox is handling the resume vs startup or is this a Kodi problem?

The other kodi install I have is a windows box but it always gets shutdown and not suspended so i can't test it.

Thanks!

I don't think that LE is designed/setup up for multi-monitors that aren't mirrored / aren't the same resolution, so provided the built-in display is completely shot, I would recommend simply taking off the bottom cover and disconnecting the cable for the built-in display. The system should power-on/boot just fine provided the HDMI is plugged in, and LE should init the TV at 1080p that way.

Is there any info somewhere how to update asus chromebox openelec 4.2 build to newest LE? Do I also need to update bios?

Thanks!

honestly, with a setup that old, a clean install (via USB) of LibreELEC 8.0 would be best. You don't need to update the firmware if everything is working fine, but it's not a bad time to do so, since updating to the latest UEFI firmware would require an OS reinstall. You can do that by booting a Linux ISO from USB and running the EZ Setup script from there (use that to create the install media too if you want)

Looks like I need to do some catch-up for my (2) Asus N60 (M004U) Haswell Chromeboxes.
In early 2015, I used Matt's scripts to go standalone using legacy Seabios, EZ SCRIPT, and Ubuntu (which shows up as "LuBuntu 14.04 on my shutdown screens). I noticed Matts version History basically eliminates Ubuntu, and he made upgrades to the Firmware too (UEFI Full Rom, etc.). So, looking for upgrade path suggestions. Willing to do what it takes to get there. Have a windows 10 NUC too that I network with the others. It's running Kodi 17 and other 2 are not. Guess I'll try to pull scripts to USB on the WIN10 with RUFUS and plug them to the Chromeboxes. Can someone point me to the correct combo and sequence of installs to do this? Spent time on Matt's site, but I am kinda lost.Thanks!
