Thanks for the suggestions guys. I found a decent arc-1100 remote on eBay so I'll order that after work. While we're kinda on the subject of kodi, has anyone gotten an Amazon prime plug-in to work? I've tried a few with little success in getting video to play Thanks! Andrew C. On April 14,

If your chrome is actually hitting your ulimits then something is wrong. Have you done some troubleshooting to track it down? E.g. lsof+ps+strace? On Apr 15, 2015 1:36 PM, Michael Butash mich...@butash.net wrote: On 04/15/2015 12:48 PM, Kevin Fries wrote: I have seen both Chrome and Chromium
