Just received my new Raspberry Pi 2 and I am trying to set up Kodi on it. I have tried to burn the IMG file to the micro SD card but once I try putting the card in the PI and booting it up I just get the rainbow screen. Anyone any ideas please?

Are you sure you used the Pi2 download and not the Pi1 download?
(e.g. from here: http://openelec.tv/get-openelec)

Yes, that's the build I used. The disk image file.

Can you confirm the filename of the disk image you downloaded?

[Olliepop]

OpenELEC-RPi.arm-5.0.1. I am using a 16gb scandisc micro sd and my old power plug from my 1st Raspberry Pi, if this helps?

I also tried with a 32gb mic road and just got a blank screen.

That's the wrong version, should be OpenELEC-RPi2.arm-5.0.1.img

Ok I think I had the wrong build!!! But you knew that anyway I think.. Sorry My brains not working righ today!!

Be sure and post and let us know how it works. I'm interested in how it handles heavier skins as well as HD audio.

Name a heavier skin and I'll take a look for you, IE: one that a RPi Model B 512MB overclocked would normally just sigh, rollover and wave it's hands in the air at.

Edit: And your experience with said skin so I have something to compare to.

I've just loaded my pi2 up with new openelec img. Just wondering what your default overclock is mines showing 600MHz ?

It's dynamic - it will jump to 900MHz when busy.
