CActiveAESink error after Kodi Matrix upgrade

Help and Support
1

Hi all,

I’ve upgraded to Kodi Matrix yesterday by error without noticing its had been released. I usually run apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade to get the host up-to-date and secured.

Well now things are messy. I can’t get Kodi available anymore on the TV.

I have a RPI 3B with a bluetooth USB dongle plugged-in.

I’ve fixed the problem related to Kodi19 upgrade mentioned in [How-to] set up Bluetooth audio

Logs are uploaded here: https://paste.osmc.tv/eqepixokoq

After creating those logs, I’ve followed the instructions from Kodi v19 troubleshooting FAQ but Kodi logs are still complaining verbosely.

My Kodi logs get full of

2021-08-10 23:50:20.459 T:20164    INFO <general>: CActiveAESink::OpenSink - initialize sink
2021-08-10 23:50:20.459 T:20164   ERROR <general>: CActiveAESink::OpenSink - no sink was returned
2021-08-10 23:50:20.459 T:20163   ERROR <general>: ActiveAE::InitSink - returned error

twice per seconds.

Also, I’ve an error about config-user.txt file:

août 10 23:41:40 osmc mediacenter[20095]: mv: impossible de préserver l'appartenance pour '/boot/config-user.txt': Opération non permise

If any of you has an idea, please let me know. :slight_smile:

Regarding audio, please read this and remove the older bluetooth packages, including pulseaudio

That error is normal as there is no user permission possible on the Boot partition.

I did it already.

Anyway:

Better try another dist-upgrade.

That’s an old package I had to install long time ago, that cannot be upgraded:

Also I have error repeatedly in journalctl:

Do you guys think I should reinstall completely, or may I still have a chance to fix the issue without reinstalling? Then, what could I do to help you to help me?

Suggest a reinstall. You can take a backup with MyOSMC and restore it should be fine for your issue.

I don’t have access to OSMC interface at all, I’ll make a SD Card dd clone instead.

Anyway, thanks for your help. :+1:
