RE: Asus/HP ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC or Ubuntu+XMBC) [v2.19 - 2014/09/06] - Matt Devo - 2014-09-12 We don't know exactly what it is, since we can't read the text, and it happens before XBMC starts, so it's in a different log file than the one you posted RE: Asus/HP ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC or Ubuntu+XMBC) [v2.19 - 2014/09/06] - nickr - 2014-09-12 Yeah, either foucus your camera on the top left of the screen so we can see what it says, or write the text down and post it here (the latter will at least be searchable if someone else has the problem. I have never seen openelec do a filesystem check with output to the screen like that. Not saying it never happened, but I haven't noticed it! Of course that is probably because openelec has a read only filesystem that by definition shouldn't become corrupted. Only /storage is RW as far as I know.

I am guessing nothing to do with the script as it is inside OE? I ran into this too at some point, something's corrupted, and clearing the user data (Settings -> OpenELEC -> General -> soft reset) will take care of it at the cost of having to redo a few things.

The help text says OE configurations which I guess ok but it also says "xbmc to default including your library". Does the last bit means that all xbmc settings will go to their default and the library items will have to be rescan as well. Will all sources be also reset needing setup? Lastly, any idea if just waiting for next update to install over will fix whatever corruption happen? Thanks again.

One more question: I have many movies, MKVs that wont play, but they play nicely on the Windows Machine with XBMC on. Is this normal for this box, or is it something I can do to make it play more MKVs?

The help text says OE configurations which I guess ok but it also says "xbmc to default including your library". you'll have to redo everything essentially, same as a clean install, though it won't delete any files you have on the disc (that's what the 'hard' reset does). No idea what causes the issue or if it can be fixed without wiping clean. Part of the fun when running beta software. (2014-09-12, 18:59)pettergulbra Wrote: Right now I can`t reproduce the problem. But I will have the camera ready each time I start the box from sleep. MKV is a container, just like AVI - it tells us nothing about the audio/video streams contained therein. If a specific file won't play, turn on debug logging, attempt to play the file, then turn off debug logging, and post the log (using pastebinit) - there's plenty of instructions on the site on how to do so. So far, I've yet to run across anything the Chromebox flat out "won't play" so my guess is that the file is encoded in a non-standard way or somehow damaged, and for whatever reason Windows is able to handle that a bit more gracefully.

Two quick questions though; Thanks guys. That's interesting. Are all of the changes required for coreboot to work correctly propagated to the public source repository? I am interested in building my own copy so I can look into what options are possible to enable/disable. Also, when running Windows, the Intel Display Audio Out does not function correctly. Using generic class drivers, HDMI audio shows it is unplugged all the time. With the vendor (Intel) drivers, it doesn't even show up in the audio tray menu anymore. Do you guys have any idea what might be causing this? This would make for one heck of a HTPC if I can just get HDMI audio out working.

I had to test a little bit more, so I moved all the non working files to another folder. Then I used the file manager inside XBMC to try them. And, there they work as a charm. So I cleaned the library, then copied back to the movie folder, and re scanned that folder. Now it seems to work, hope it keeps that way. Edit: It looks like it can`t add all the movies, even if there is local information. It cant find them with the scraper nether, strange as they have not changed the name on any folder since it worked. Log while I scanning for new material: http://pastebin.com/P6qDFZiq Thanks again. Always fast answers! :-) RE: Asus/HP ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC or Ubuntu+XMBC) [v2.19 - 2014/09/06] - fritsch - 2014-09-12 Btw. we merged all the vaapi commits into xbmc master. So helix will have all the code we tested for more than a year in the fernetmenta ppa. But yeah to use MCDI, MADI - the relevant driver is needed: https://github.com/fritsch/libva-intel-driver/tree/ppa14 or it won't work at all.

Are all of the changes required for coreboot to work correctly propagated to the public source repository? I am interested in building my own copy so I can look into what options are possible to enable/disable. yes, all of the coreboot changes I've merged have been accepted upstream. You can extract the config I'm using from my firmware and use that as a starting point. You'll also need to extract all of the binary blobs (which are not open source / not part of coreboot) and merge those in as well. For SeaBIOS, some of the changes I've made have not yet been submitted/merged upstream (eg: display proper text when booting from USB; skip boot menu when only one bootable device attached). Everything I use (build scripts, etc -- except the binary blobs) is posted on my github, which I've added to the OP. I don't have any idea on the HDMI audio, and since I a) don't run Windows 8, and b) don't have an HDMI-capable receiver to test, it's not something I'm going to spend any time on. |
