Ehh.. Not via LibreELEC, as it has no chromecast support.

There is a Live option in the installer itself, but it's not meant as a permanent/full installation of LibreELEC. Installing LE as a full setup onto a 2nd USB stick is also not preferable IMO. USB sticks (and SD cards) can wear out in the end because of the database writes by Kodi. So it's better to install/upgrade to LE 8.x once you're ready.

How stable must it be (as if that even can be determined) ?
Why not start with the one that is released as official:
LibreELEC-Odroid_C2.aarch64-8.0.1.img.gzIf you find a bug, report it on the LE forum.

A fresh install is possibly necessary when the system partition has become too small since the last couple of releases.
#1 to do: make a full backups, use the built-in Backup/Restore tool in the Settings add-on.You can testdrive LibreELEC running on a USB stick and see if your Samba setup works to your liking.

Are you planning to mainly SSH into LibreELEC, and start typing to cast your videos to a chromecast device?
I'm sure there are better/easier solutions for that. -
I prefer to not do a fresh installThere is such a thing as making a backup of your data, or even of the entire system.
It's the #1 rule in computer technology. Certainly with SD cards and USB sticks that can stop working at any given moment.In case you have been updating your Raspberry Pi for a number of versions by now, it's very likely that the size of the system partition has become too small (or LE too large). There are two solutions to that:
- Backup your RPi / Install a fresh copy of LE 8.0 (with a bigger system partition), restore your backup.
- Use the GParted tool to manually resize both current partitions, and then upgrade. Making a backup first is still wise. -

I attached the logs below. I see some errors/warnings but i can't really tell what is causing the problem.This is the part after pressing OK on the episode that won't play. No need for the complete log right?
Fascinating... We only see a small part of one log that you think is interesting.
When you're visiting a doctor, do you then also give limited information on the problems you are having? -
That is not a complete kodi.log file.
Please see instructions here. -
The subtitle options have moved to the Player / Language section.

I open Salts and...Salts is on the banned add-on list for Kodi.
We give no support to setups with banned piracy add-ons installed. -
Installation of the storage partition on a USB device was/is because of the people's notion that USB (3.0) sticks handle data faster. Raspberry Pi's only have USB 2.0 ports, and the internal engine doesn't even reach full USB speed. Using /storage on USB can be a plus if you use larger drives, be it a HDD or SSD.
In my view, sd cards or usb sticks have the same problem: they don't have TRIM support like SSDs do, so they will wear out sooner or later. SSDs/HDDs of course are in a different price category.

Toggle the view to All videos / Watched / Unwatched in the (hidden) left menu bar. It's probably set to unwatched now.

So far I have no time for more accurate data and logsThen me too will spend no time on your problem, and I suggest you never upgrade again since all is working now.

Seems to me you are writing the image onto an sd card, then yank it out and start to examine it before the inital installation of LibreELEC is done.
You should LibreELEC do its job and let it autoresize the 2nd / storage partition to its full extend, as well as let it do the wizard setup. -
"Unknown sources" is basically because of 'certain repositories' providing 'certain add-ons'.
-
I mean the storage space on the /storage partition of your SD card. Removable drives do no contain local databases for LibreELEC (by default anyway). Do a "df -h | pastebinit" in SSH (without the quotes..) and share the returned URL. Perhaps the storage partition hasn't resized properly during the initial LE boot.
-
'the settings addon isnt ready yet'.Sounds like a botched LE update gone wrong.
Try a fresh installation of LibreELEC and retry.
Also set the 'Wait for network' for 30 seconds (in the LE Settings addon).
