Thanks! The instructions are here:

Also, it seems like my Chromebox is really picky with USB Flash Drives. If it doesn't work try another one. I went through quite a few before I found one that worked.

Hi!

I've installed LibreElec onto the internal 16GB SSD of my Asus Chromebox. I also have multiple USB drives attached. The problem that I have is that my Kodi often gets bogged down and I have to reboot about once a week. However, every time I reboot, the system forces me to press [ESC] and then specify which storage device to boot from (since I have multiple USB drives attached to the Chromebox).

How do we set it to boot automatically to the internal SSD drive?

Thank you!

SOLUTION:

I plugged the HDD into my Nvidia Shield Android TV to see if the NSATV could mount it. In Android, ES File Explorer detected it and "mounted" it but I could not open the drive. I opened SPMC (Kodi variant for Android) and it did not show up.

I decided to reboot the NSATV, just for the hell of it.

After it started again, I opened SPMC and I could see the drive! I explored the drive and was able to view movies on it! It was still not accessible by using ES File Explorer.

In the back of my mind, I was hoping that maybe now LibreELEC on the Asus Chromebox could properly mount it. I plugged the HDD and turned on on the Asus Chromebox and it worked! I could now see my HDD! I've set the content and it's now scraping the media.

So, this is what the drive looks like after a successful on an NSATV:

• $RECYCLE.BIN
• Android
  
  • data
  • obb
• LOST.DIR
  
  • empty
• Movies (pre-existing folder)
• NVIDIA_SHIELD
  
  • empty
• Screensavers (pre-existing folder)
• System Volume Information
  • IndexerVolumeGuid
  • tracking.log
  • WPSettings.dat

Hope this helps anyone else running into this problem!

Make sure that the external drive is not still in hibernation or suspend mode from a Windows session.

Also double-check for any disk errors, because Linux does not like them.

Connect the drive and SSH into your Chromebox, and provide the URLs from the following commands

How is the drive formatted/partitioned?

Please provide logfife when drice attached

HOW TO:Provide Logfile - LibreELEC

The drive is NTFS, which is the same as all of my USB 3.0 HDD drives. I use NTFS because some of the MKV files are very large.

Here's the pastebin:

OpenELEC USB HDD not mounted issue - Pastebin.com

Thank you!

Hi, I bought this hard drive:

Amazon.com: Seagate Backup Plus Hub 8TB External Desktop Hard Drive Storage (STEL8000100): Computers & Accessories

But it won't mount? I've install LibreELEC on a ASUS CN60 Chromebox. I've tried it in each of the 4 USB 3.0 ports and it simply won't mount.

However, when I unplug the HDD, I get this notification:

Quote

Successfully removed storage device

But, I can't see it mounted anywhere when it's plugged in? I can see my other USB 3.0 HDD's just fine.

I can even connect a USB 3.0 HDD hard drive into its built-in USB hub and openELEC will mount it. However, I can't see the 8.0TB drive mounted at all?

This a real conundrum. Any ideas?

Don't use the "Get More" option. Install from repository.

Thanks, repped!

I can't get any additional skins either. When I click Get more... nothing happens?

My device is connected via ethernet. And the internet works because Aerial addon videos download and play fine.

Quote from lrusak

try force refreshing the kodi add-on repository

Thanks! I reinstalled the whole thing and it works now.

I just installed this on my Asus Chromebox.

I do have internet, via ethernet.

When I go to Settings > Interface > Skin > GET MORE...

It does nothing? There should be a list of skins that I can download right?
