[ANN] OpenELEC.tv - very small and fast booting Embedded Linux Distribution with XBMC

harryzimm Wrote:Hi,

what is the ssh username and password?

cheers

Edit: sorry i didn't read the documentation... User=root Pass=openelec

no problem, i will update the docu on http://www.openelec.tv with this information.
If you see that some other informations is missing let me know this.

thanks

Thanks,

Any chance of including the asound.conf and HDA-intel.conf from this guide to the ion specific build? It fixes channel mappings for multi-channel pcm audio.

cheers

you can store your asound.conf at /storage/.config/asound.conf . if OpenELEC found this config file it will be used. This must be do to have sound over HDMI on Zotac Boards, but can break sound on other systems (e.g. Intel only systems in the generic build) - thats the reason to not install this file by default.

to store your asound.conf to /storage/.config you can use scp:


or via Samba in the "Configfiles" share

btw... dont know what HDA-intel.conf do. but with the asound.conf from here:

http://openelec.git.sourceforge.net/git/...nf;hb=HEAD

i have multichannel audio on ION based Systems (Acer Revo, Zotac...)

ok thanks. I will give it a go and report back.

cheers

New snapshots released (r3414) based on XBMC svn 31660.

This new images are now 11-19MB smaller as the latest Images and fixes follow issues:

• many faster wakeup from Suspend to RAM
• no more segfaults with the Installer on 64bit systems
• more stable on unsafe removal of USB devices (but not stable enough)
  

some of my next todos:

• rework of networking with an config file to setup LAN/WLAN/PPP connections with dhcp or manually settings
• adding some more features to the Installer
• optimize boot to boot more faster
  

please test and report issues and wishes.

To update an prebuild USB Install Stick:

• copy target/SYSTEM and target/KERNEL from extracted tarball to the USB Stick (the old INSTALLER file is no more needed and can be removed)
  

To update an preinstalled System over an Samba share:

• copy target/SYSTEM and target/KERNEL from extracted tarball to the "Update" Samba share and reboot. after the reboot the System will be updated and restarts again
  

To update an preinstalled System over SSH:

• login with SSH to the OpenELEC.tv system
• create an folder /storage/.update with
  
  Code:
  

  mkdir -p /storage/.update
• copy target/SYSTEM and target/KERNEL from extracted tarball via scp to the /storage/.update folder with:
  
  Code:
  

  scp target/SYSTEM root@<ip-address>:/storage/.update
scp target/KERNEL root@<ip-address>:/storage/.update
• reboot. after the reboot the System will be updated and restarts again
  

Thanks

Hi,

what you mean with google os window?

i have done some tests with external software (Webbrowser etc) but they needs an Windowmanager. i must find an fullscreen-only Windowmanager thats works stable to do some things (i have tested ratpoison, openbox and some others. but its sometimes very unstable and bad to switch against the windows - it must works with remote only - because i think an keyboard/mouse is only an extra for an HTPC. i also dont want an terminal, because this confuses my grandma :-) )

Edit:
but an Webbrowser on OpenELEC.tv is an feature that i want, so it is already on my todo list!
