Getting the error One or more items failed to play. Check the log for more information about this message.
Naturally I have no idea what I am suppose to look for in the log file...
This error usually happens when the next media file is suppose to play.
After you click ok to acknowledge the error the screen goes black and their is no response to the remote or keyboard, you can wait 5 or so minuted for the screen to come back or you can yank the power cord from the Raspberry Pi 3 and reboot the thing, everything was working fine in the past it just started doing this.
Suggestions?
Openelec 6.0.3 Kodi 15.2
Thanks in advance.
[EDIT]
This happens when playing media from a hard drive NOT and not with any add-ons, the hard drive is connected to another Raspberry Pi I access the files using wifi, this setup has worked great for a while and the problems just started a week or so ago, More on Add-ons the only add-ons I have is the ones that came packaged with Openelec I used the "Log Viewer for Kodi" to look for errors.

That's what happens when a source is not working, either broken or offline. Usually one of the banned.

Probably the wifi part dropping bits. Or maybe the router needs tinkering with; some silly sounding things like which type of security can make a stream difference; WPA, WPA2, WEP etc. And which compatibility mode.

Ok what is the difference between a video being selected and played manually from the file list and automatically being played automatically as the next video on the list?
I think I have narrowed the problem, I noticed the error (One or more items failed to play. Check the log for more information about this message) happens when one video ends and it automatically plays the next video.
After video 1 finished and progressed automatically to video 2 the error happen, after acknowledging the error I manually selected the failed to play video 2 and it played as normal, wanting to repeat the error I re-selected video 1 then hit the key on the keyboard that plays the next video when it tried to play video 2 it would fail and give the same error again, I can manually start video 1 and video 2 by manually selecting each video they play without error, the problem is when Kodi tries to go to the next file automatically or by the keyboard press, I assume since both videos do play ok its the procedure Kodi is using that is the problem?
Any idea why the video will fail to play when switching from one video to another?
Tried to upload a log using the Kodi Logfile Uploader it does not work says to view the error log for details.... I am looking at the logfiles what one do you need their are 10 files in the zip file?
Thanks.

We want ~/.kodi/temp/kodi.log - get that onto a paste site (e.g. pastebin.com) and post the link.

Looking at the top line in the 01_KODI.log file it says # ... output of cat /storage/.kodi/temp/kodi.old.log I will assume this is the same as ~/.kodi/temp/kodi.log"
I tried to cut and paste the logfile into pastebin.com get the error "You have exceeded the maximum paste size of 512 kilobytes per paste. PRO users don't have this limit!"
Do you need to see the whole log or just part of it?
Thanks.
