Hi  all

been using kodi and chromebox for years now with the ezscript with no problems .went to reinstall kodi a few days ago now and went into the shell downloaded the ezscript it reports downloading libreelec but then I get the following errors:

This does not look like a tar archive
Exiting with failure due to previous errors
Failed to extract LibreElec download check your internet connection and try again

I am using an Asus Chromebox CN60
Intel Haswell
stock ChromeOS w/RW_LEGACY

Have also done a full recovery with the chrome recovery utility but still have the same errors

Any help would be greatly appreciated u/MrChromebox

there's a few reasons for the download to fail - could be a bad connection, server hiccup, or lack of space on your device. Hard to tell from the info provided.

that said, I'm confused as to what you're trying to do exactly. If you have an existing LE install and want to upgrade, there's no need to do anything from ChromeOS or my script -- you just use LE's built-in update mechanism (unless there are issues with partition sizing).

Also, it's 2020, and the 2014 model CN60 no longer gets ChromeOS updates. I'd recommend switching to my UEFI firmware and either doing a fresh dedicated LE install, or running Linux + Kodi. Dual booting at this point is likely not your best option
