All,
Searching for a netflix solution on my raspberry pi 3 I gave the LibreElec latest alpha release a try. Impressive how easy this is to setup!
Unfortunately I ran into the issue that after writing the image to the SD card (from a Linux host) and booting for the first time, the booting stalls. I do see a message that it is expanding a partition to maximum size, then I see the temperature of the raspberry pi rising (red thermometer right top of the screen) and then the display doesn't refresh anymore.
Good news: I reimaged the SD card and used gparted to manually expand the partition. I also removed the file on this partition indicating that expanding was required at boot. Now it boots successfully.
I hope this is the way to inform the devs of this issue, if any more information is required, please let me know!
