Indeed. Busy trying to get it to build, almost there. Time to prepare for lots of breakages.
awesome lets prepare for all the users that dont read and want the highest number 
but its gonna be interesting also there are quite a few patches that arent approved yet but its worth starting out with just the stuff that merged before taking the unwalked path.

Is there an easy way to back out after trying the latest nightly, assuming that one didnât bother to take a full backup beforehand!
Just apt installing 99 doesnât do it.
You should be able to revert by installing an older version. What issue did you experience?
Sam
hahah its not me that your supposed to send it to 
and make sure to include debug logs if your experiancing issues

It used to work till last update.
Thanks for checking. T
You will need to check with the developer of the plugin. Itâs probably not been rewritten for python3 (Python 2.x support is being dropped due to coming up for EOL)
Looks like libard was last updated 3 years ago so not sure if itâs still being worked on.

Hello,
I updated to 18.8-101 (canât remember the previous version I was running) and now mediaplayer doesnât start up. The background is displayed, the OSMC logo in the top left corner, the clock in the top right corner but no other options to navigate. Some errors are displayed, but I wasnât able to get them all. The last one says something about âskin shortcuts errorâ. Can you guys help?
Hereâs the last part of the debug logs:

For no menus been shown this might be because of your menu customisation depending on skin.helper, if you take out the customizations it may work.
Thanks for the response @fzinken! Any ideas how I could âresetâ to defaults via command line? I donât have any access to menu options 
I tried the following without any success
mv ~/.kodi/userdata/guisettings.xml ~/.kodi/userdata/guisettings.xml.bak
sudo systemctl restart mediacenter
mv skin.estouchy/ skin.estouchy.bak
mv skin.estuary/ skin.estuary.bak
mv skin.osmc/ skin.osmc.bak
sudo systemctl restart mediacenter
The âskin shortcuts errorâ keeps coming up, but now I have âSettingsâ option displayed
contact addon dev for support, and expect more addon breakage to come cause the switch to python 3 isnt gonna easy its gonna be ruff thats why GMC included a warning.
Quite easy: remove the script.skinshortcuts folder from ~/.kodi/addons and restart mediacenter. The skin should then revert to the non-customised default home menu which doesnât rely on the script. This will also fix the issue of errors showing up 
Thereâs also work being done to achieve that here: https://github.com/mikesilvo164/script.skinshortcuts/tree/python_3
For the time being, Iâll probably remove script support for the Matrix skin quite soon.
