In reply to shaun. Hi Shaun. It was rebranded into OSMC so you will need to download that. Same principle, just more up to date. Go visit https://osmc.tv/download/

I keep getting asked for an openelec login and password too whenever I try installing it on my atv. I tried login:root password:openelec but that doesn’t seem to work. Any advice?

I’m trying to install xbmc & boxer… Though I read now it’s been swallowed up by Samsung…,? I just want to stream some decent (?) ( or adult themed) channels through the atv1…. Yes, I presume it is crystal buntu, but I can’t install open elec either…. It must be my age!’

I am still unsure, despite several readings of your post, and others! Do I need to install new drivers for the Broadcom adapter to work properly? BCM970015 is the adapter I got and I had some stuttering while watching regular MP4 files stored on my NAS

Great article. I’m running Crystalbuntu 2 and noticed that when I switched to a new 1080P TV from a 720P the performance really picked up while the unit runs cooler. Really the only thing I’d like to port from OpenElec is the Opera Browser.

OK, ignore my last port, I’m just being stupid, I now see there are two installs available, I downloaded the wrong one!!

Hi John,
You’re absolutely correct, it has installed /dev/sdb1/ on the flash drive, as reported by the “system – storage” screen, the other partitions are all on the HDD. How do I force it to install to the HDD, I didn’t come across that option during installation.
I also tried the CrystalBuntu install, this did the same thing, installed part to the flash drive.
I’m back with OpenELEC now and it’s boots OK with the flash drive plugged in but obviously I’d like it fully on the HDD.
BTW, thanks for the quick reply..
