Ok. It worked with 9.0.2 -> 9.2.6 -> 10.0.1 Thanks for the inputs.

In this version i found the Hard Reset function to reset everything, did not find any LibreELEC menu in the 8.2.5 i had.

my intention was to esp. check the storage and when HP has buildin routines, why not use them. [1]

I've read some of this devices have emmc storage and that this typ of storage might elder/wear out quicker, don't know...

You told nothing about the state of the device.

you bought it used and I guess from someone foreign ?!

my first check with hardware (regardless if new, but even when used) is to see what's up with it !

afterwards I know what I can do with it and what not, e.g. install another OS on it, etc.

see your usb boot problem:

- does the devices usually do it ?

- if yes: why now not ?

- why was the device sold ??? (old, too slow, damaged with the same problem *you* have now ?)

[1]

if the device were usb bootable you could use SysRescueCD to do some checks eg.g smartctl

I have used it for a year, has worked fine but i like to update LibreELEC now, or just reset all data and settings, but cant find the way.

Yes it was from some one foreign.

The usbports works fine in LibreELEC.

I have one more just like it but have not update that far.

It was sold because it was not used any more, the owner went over to streaming.

For Chromebox see https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=194362

And the suggested the LibreELEC forum.

Questions:

1. Chromebox CB1-020no translates to "HP Chromebox CB1-020no PC" ?

https://support.hp.com/sg-en/document/c04343507

2. you need a generic LE image, then ?

I can't tell much to the specific error, but what happens when you type "mount" or a "df -h" in that debugging shell ?

regarding 2.:

IIRC, the direct jump from LE 8.2.5 to LE 10 wasn't suggested, e.g. somewhere between the releases a "fresh install" was indicated.

regarding 1.:

- surfing the HP website -

https://support.hp.com/sg-en/product/…troubleshooting

=> https://support.hp.com/sg-en/product/…ument/c04355990

- I would first check what's up with the device (bought from someone foreign ?)

- maybe a HW reset to maybe get USB booting [1]

[1]

i couldn't figure it out, cause the links to the manuals are pointing to nothing/nowhere (at least here)

Will try those commands and another older version of LibreELEC.

I do not use the Chrome OS so i dont think HP will be mush help, only run LibreELEC.

Hi.

I bought a used Chromebox CB1-020no with LibreELEC 8.2.5 preinstalld.

I tried to update to LibreELEC 10.0.1 and 9.97.1 but same error.

I have used libreELEC usb creator to download the files.

I have put the file in the update folder and after restart this error comes up.

I have used google but i cant find any answers.

So i tried to boot on Ubuntu via usb, but cant find the usb boot in the UEFI.

And i cant find information on how to delete the old LibreELEC and install a new one.

Solved. Bad VGA cable.

Hi.

The kids have a Samsung 55" LED and all the hdmi inputs just died.

I use a RPi 3B as HTPC with LE 7.0.3 (RetroPie).

Bought a HDMI to VGA adapter but the picture is very green.

I have found the issue when googling but not a working answer, tried some of them.

How is the right way to fix this?

Hi.

The kids have a Samsung 55" LED and all the hdmi inputs just died.

I use a RPi 3B as HTPC with LE 7.0.3 (RetroPie) and i do not get the composite output to work, no image at all on the TV, do not light up the input option for composite.

Have done some googling and searching at the forum but do not find any good answer.

I live in Sweden so the tv might be PAL restricted.

Thanks.

I have tried to google this to know in how to change this, but i cant find it.

Do you have a link for edit power service or something?

Cant find any option to force subtitle on krypton.

Hi

I have upgraded from Kodi 16.1 to 17.6 (LibreELEC) on my Chromebox.

Now the library isn’t auto updating after suspended, but if I power of the update works.

This worked on Kodi 16.1, is it just mine or is it a setting?

Second question:

Is there a setting to always enable subtitle on TV Shows and Movies? Now some are enabled and some not.

I have used google to try to find the answers to my questions for some time but I can’t find them.

If a log is needed please tell me so.

I got the answer from MattDevo at the Kodi Forum.

Hi.

I Hope this the right forum for my problem.

Last week bought a used HP Chromebox CB1-020no with Libreelec 8.2.5 (Kodi 17).

I didn't recognize the boot image, its not the same as my old HP Chrombox CB1-030no with Libreelec 7.0.3 (Kodi 16) so i looked around and found seven different hard-disk partitions on my new Chromebox, on my old one i just got two.

So i tried a clean install with the program LibreELEC.USB-SD.Creator.Win32.exe to create a usb with the file LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2.5.img.gz, no problem to create a boot disk on a 64gb USB3-stick.

The problem starts when i try to change boot device on my new Chromebox, it says press ESC, but nothing happens, just start up Libreelec as always. Tried many times and change the USB bort of the keyboard and the usbstick but no luck.

So the help i need is to install a standalone Libreelec 8.2.5.

So i will post pictures av all versions and numbers that shows during boot and all the hard-disk partitions.

Found out what was wrong. All posters i have made had a capital "P" so it couldn't auto scrap.

I have a problem with all posters not showing. I have asked in the KODI forum but no one answer.

I have all my media at an FTP and i have every movie in separate folder with nfo, fanart an poster.

Example:
Folder: 101 Dalamtiner

Files in folder:
101 Dalamtiner.avi
101 Dalamtiner.nfo
101 Dalamtiner-fanart.jpg
poster.jpg

Text in the nfo:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<movie>
    <title>101 Dalmatiner</title>
    <runtime>99</runtime>
</movie>

I am using the skin Aeon Nox Silvo.

I dont get all posters to show, i guess they have the wrong aspect example 350 x 491.

I have changed all

scale</aspectratio>

to

stretch</aspectratio>

as i read in another thread. First i just changed it in View_57_Shift.xml file (i use Shift Small) but nothin happend so i changed all the xml files in the skin.aeon.nox.silvo folder but nothing happens,

Am i doing something wrong? I have tried to remove the textures13.db, clean the library och delete and add the source again.

It dose not use what i call small posters, the posters take 1/3 of the screen hight and Transparency posters take 1/6 of the screen hight. In my case that 1/6 extra gives me one more row of thumbnails.

I have thumbnails 6x6 as fanart so i makes a big difference for me.

I found two pictures that look like I want.

The Transparency skin have one option that i like but i do not like the skin it self.

The other one is from Aeon MQ5, it has the posters on the top of the screen. that works to but I don't find that skin for download.

Is there other skins with these options?

hi.

Is there a skin that have the option to use small posters at the bottom of the screen, small info or no info and full screen fanart as background?

It is for my children, they can't read yet so movie inte is not used anyway. And I have made custom fanart, 48 thumbnail grid of the movie so I don't want the poster to use to much space.

I have a local nfos to all my movies with the Swedish title in them and the runtime. I also made my own fanart.

Now i want to know if its possible to get the poster and logo and other information from the online scrappers without replacing the title and my fanart?

And here is a java script that can be paste in a .bat file.

If you got all movies in one folder you could run this and it will create a nfo that uses the the filename as title, and add duration to the nfo. And it will create a folders with the filenames names and move the movies and the nfofiles to those folders.
