I had my first problem with the Chromebox last night. At this point I'm not sure if it's a Kodi problem, OpenElec problem or a hardware problem with the box. It started with a video freeze at two hours into a two hour and fifteen minute movie as the file was no longer caching. I had to do a hard power reboot and OpenElec and Kodi booted up fine. From that point on everything started going crazy. I was getting script errors with YouTube and other video addons. My local content would not play from my server. I reset my router and modem, disconnecting all cables and started over. Same thing. After many lock ups and freezes I encountered an error message upon rebooting with something to the effect of "Error in check disks: could not repair filesystem, dropping to debug shell, try to run 'fsck' manually: *** ### Starting debugging shell...type exit to quit ### sh: can't access tty; job control turned off #"
Apparently this means it tried to do an automatic check disk and failed. I found this error in the wiki and it recommended you do the check disk manually as follows:
For a dual-boot setup (which I have)
fsck /dev/sda6 (enter)
fsck /dev/sda7 (enter)
After each one is run you type "reboot" and hit enter. The file system should boot normally.
I tried this several times and sda6 came back clean. sda7 showed having error and I followed the prompts Y/N to try to repair it. I got another message something to the effect of it still having errors and was 0.1% in error or something like that. This time I rebooted through typing that prompt and it booted right into OpenElec and Kodi as usual.
I was able to access my local content again and YouTube appeared to be working. I tried some other addons and it seemed as if the HD hosts were not working and while some files played, I continued to get lockups just trying to access the host.
Any suggestions as to what I should try next?

What driver do I need to make the analog port work on Windows 8?
Also, any way to make Windows 8 not take up the entire hard drive?

update, steam streaming works perfectly from Windows 8.1
Not sure why it jacks up so bad in Ubuntu.

Anybody running retroarch on their chromebox with oe+kodi?
I have SNES emulating great, pcsx_rearmed goes through startup, and lets me select "New Game"... then crashes after the intros... done this on both games i've tried (FF7 and FF9).
