My only complaint about openELEC is that it doesn't support add-ons as readily as RASPBMC does. what for addons are not supported in OpenELEC which are supported in Raspbmc? All Standard XBMC addons are supported, and OpenELEC comes with 2 standard own repos with additional OpenELEC specific addons.

You can download one of the 'testing' images and update using the settings addon. No need to do anything manually. You can't normally update automatically from a development build to a release build, but maybe the Settings addon allows this - not something I've tested. Milhouse, you are right, but ...

yes all OpenELEC 3.1.x versions includes Hotspot (tethering) support by default. you need a supported wlan device and can enable this via our new nice settings addon. No apt-get or something is needed to use this...

one idea is to swap the hdmi cable, some are not full wired for CEC... at least i have seen such reports. see also http://zombiebrainzjuice.cc/openelec-ce ... ing-fixed/

Is there any way to put this working with openELEC without need to recompile it? Can I just install some package(s) on the distro I already have running? the way is to fill a feature request on https://github.com/OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv/issues with much as possible info how to do this, samples and or ...

You just need a decent build system ;) I can build 'Poky' (see https://yoctoproject.org ) in about 56 minutes on a system with 4GHz quad core (with hyper threading), 16GB RAM and SSD. This gives a complete distro (kernel, etc.) and I found it much, much easier to use. It provides a complete cross-t...

That makes it more complicated. The XBMC distros already handle this. They read board_rev and copy start.elf files as appropritate, so they could edit the config.txt. We could have two options: gpu_mem=64 gpu_mem_percent=25 You can pick one or the other. And if you pick both it sums them. E.g. that...

I would be interested purely from a generic standpoint. What I would believe from other things that are/aren't is that it isn't illegal, in the same way NTFS on Linux/UNIX is not illegal, ie. they have just reverse engineered the protocol and produce another implementation of the same thing. -David...

always try the latest builds from http://sources.openelec.tv/tmp/image/openelec-rpi/ not sure which build you mean but XBMC for RPi is still in the development phase and it is possible some functions are broken. This issue should be fixed afaik with the latest build. Using Raspbian instead OpenELEC ...

Is it possible to add to the system info screen which codecs (see here ) are hardware enabled?

I'm trying 11925 I've done a fresh install and on first run I've set everything up and it works well. However when I restart the device it boots up to the blue screen just before xbmc full loads (blue screen is the background) and it just stays there. I have left the pi for an hour but it never loa...

Hi, now RPi is supported from XBMC officially i have created a thread in XBMC's official RPi forum to continue this thread there. On XBMC's forum many more XBMC devs will read about the issues with our devel builds, so i think the place is better there and XBMC issues will be solved faster. I like t...

I'm planning on using my RPi in my car and having it suddenly lose power when the car turns off. I understand this would inevitably cause corruption on a typical SD card installation where data may be writing to the card when it loses power. I'm wondering if there is some way to set up an SD image ...

[*] the (personally) best one: improved systeminfo output in XBMC, there you can easy read some infos like BogoMips, serial (for buying the licenses), hardwarerevision and CPU temperature many thanks to me :-), 'dom' and others for the CPU temperature support sample: http://sources.openelec.tv/tmp/...

Sorry for all the posts about Openelec and raspbmc. We found the ip of the one who was attacking us. He is not a raspbmc user/dev nor a openelec user/dev. Sorry for this!!!!!!

/opt is reserved for the installation of add-on application software packages. because this tools, libs and programs are a essential part of OpenELEC for RPi this stuff is included in the proper locations in /usr. on other RPi distros this stuff is not really needed for most tasks and they must be ...

where you get this big build? if you build byself be sure you *dont* have set a env variable "DEBUG=yes"
