-commercial skip isn't working with PVR.WMC
-sometimes all GUI text disappears completely and I have to reboot it change resolution to resolve.
-PVR playback would buffer regularly (kernel bug that I applied workaround to)

Anyone else see this with latest Beta on a Chromebox?

it's likely an addon issue, so check the PVR subforum for WMC, or the LibreELEC forums

Agreed for pvr issues, but the text disappearing is the entire GUI regardless of skin. And it seems to be triggered when info comes up when playing a movie (pausing, etc). I'll go ask around LE forums, but it could be a GPU compatibility issue...

I am only interested in using Libreelec, no dual boot.  We are using the current release of LibreElec, not an alpha or beta.

Been a long time user of your work and this weekend (After a baby who is now 20 months old!) decided to update LibreELEC but came across the Network SMB performance issue which for me started in "#1023, 23-Oct-2018: Generic -- Release post (New 4.19.0 kernel; Kodi 18 Beta 5 starts; pvr.iptvsimple: RapidXML new package)" (Milhouse build).

I have followed your advice here but it didn't seem to help, moving to the (5GHz) WiFi connection as advised does fix things but this isn't ideal as I may need to move this box further away where WiFi isn't as strong in the near future.

Is there a log I can check to confirm the fix I entered is working as desired or does it not always help?

My hardware is the ASUS Chromebox M061U Desktop (Core i3 4010U 1.7GHz, 4GB RAM, 16GB SSD) and I am also going to check if you have updated anything in the firmware that might also help.

As described here, I edited the second one and it seems to fix the network issue with the kernel.


EDIT: Thanks Matt, you made the procedure easy as always, just updated to "coreboot_tiano-panther-mrchromebox_20190104.rom" is there a changelog for this release or is it the same as the latest one mentioned on your website?
