Hoping I can get a little help.
For years I've run Kodi off a Raspberry Pi, and it was fine. Read form my NAS and played anything I threw at it, no complaints.
Then 4K came along, and my Raspberry Pi couldn't hack it.
So I build a Gigabyte Brix, and it's a beast. 16 GB of RAM, Intel i5... it's more than enough to handle everything.
And I install Mint Linux on it, and that's all fine.
And then the Kodi version from the default Mint application manager... is old. Fine, I can fix that. Just wasted an hour trying to get the Estuary skin installed before I realized I had the wrong version of Kodi. I'm starting to feel stupid.
And then Kodi loads, and it sucks in all my videos. And it pulls down metadata crazy fast (at least compared to the Raspberry Pi), and I'm loving life.
I love that I can use the actor views, and year views, and it's a delight.
So I download a bunch more movies, and run Filebot against a lot of the "sets" I had manually joined together -- I just named them all the same so they'd show up together in the list... like "Alien (1986) - Aliens" -- anyway an hour or so renaming everything and I rescan the database and it's good to go.
Only there are dupes. No problem, I can use the clean tool. And it works.
And life is great.
For a day.
Now I've copied over about 20 more movies and none of them show up. And I'm feeling really stupid that I spent so much money and time on this.
And when I go to hit "Update library" all that happens is it hangs on "Scanning movies using the Internet Movie Database..." -- it's at 12% of the first new movie.
And I go to quit and restart Kodi, and it Kodi freezes. Like full hang, won't do anything.
And I force quit, and reboot Linux, and restart Kodi... and it gets to 12% and hangs.
When it works, man I'm loving it. But then I hit this sort of issue. And I don't know what to do next.
I wish there were an easy in the interface to remove a source, and all the data associated with it, so I can re-add and have it re-scan.
Anyone dealt with anything like this? Any suggestions?
