Hi
My pi3b is in a sad face loop. I don’t see anything in the logs that stand out to me. Logs here:

I am not sure if this is a problem or not. Oct 07 11:39:48 Pi3b mediacenter[6786]: /usr/bin/mediacenter: line 149: 6801 Illegal instruction sudo -u osmc LIRC_SOCKET_PATH=/var/run/lirc/lircd $KODI --standalone -fs

Hi

You could rule out an issue with corruption by running sudo apt-get install --reinstall rbp2-mediacenter-osmc.

If the issue persists, I’d move the .kodi directory and see if it helps.

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately neither worked. Did anything look bad in the logs above? If not I guess I will need to reinstall from scratch.
Thanks

If you still have problems then you may have a problematic SD card.
I’d suggest a reinstall but be wary of what you reinstall to…
