Full Version: Cannot connect to remote server
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I am running a chromebox running kodi 17.3. I dont have any of the streaming tv addons installed. Everytime I try to do a manual update for tvdb (importing new tv shows) I get a warning that it cannot connect to remote server. If I reboot the system it seems to work again. This is a recent issue that started 3-4 days ago. The pastebin for the log file is below but I cut out out the area that I think is the issue.
Any help or advice would be appreciated

Please post the full log
Hopefully this is long enough. It is the entire log file

Could you enable debugging in Settings?System Settings>Logging.

Are you connected to the internet with that box?? Can you confirm
This should be the one with debug, chose the wrong one before
Debug #2

I checked the internet connection (setting weather provider) and it will not connect. I am not sure how long this has been the case.
What is the best way to troubleshoot this issue?
Yep, that's the one.

Still showing the internet issue, as you have now confirmed.

Hopefully someone with more knowledge on Linux may assist you.
either you don't have a network connection at all, or your DNS server is broken.

can you ssh into the box? if yes, post the output of:
Code:
ip a
ip r
host google.com
cat /etc/resolv.conf
