Linux ChromeBox Kodi E-Z Setup Script (LibreELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2017/02/21]
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?
