Before I upgraded to Librelec with Kodi 17 everything was working flawlessly. I reverted back to Libreelec Kodi 16.1 everything seems fine. But I wanted to keep my system up to date (you know been one of the cool kids). I do have to mention that I have never upgraded the Chromebox firmware besides the first time I ran E-Z Setup script like 2 years ago. Do I need to update to a new firmware (maybe tthats the problem)?
Thanks

Luis,
sounds like an addon incompatibility, since a clean install of LE 8.0/Kodi 17.1 shouldn't exhibit any of those issues. To test that theory, you could create a USB installer for LE 8.0 and boot it in Live mode, and see if the symptoms persist.
while I don't think this is in any way firmware related, the newer/UEFI firmware is a lot better than the older Legacy boot firmware you're running. If you do want to update, you'll need to first backup your LE userdata (using the built-in backup function) to USB, update the firmware, reinstall LE from USB, then restore your userdata. This is necessary since the UEFI firmware can't boot an OS installed in legacy BIOS mode.
