hi i know i can make a usb of OSMC and reinstall to factory default, but why is there no a way of doing this on SSH or a option on the setting to make it more easy “Like Erase Everything to Factory” with out the need of making a USB Key on the pc first, or maybe there is another way and i dont know
nothing big , just sometimes i like try different thinks then if i dont like i just reset back and restore my settings, so thus command will reset everything in kodi to 0?
Thanks
still i dont see why dont have that choice of easy reset and erase everything
MyOSMC → Update → Manual Control → Reset Kodi on next reboot
This would reset all Kodi (MC part of OSMC) to Factory default.
Having an option to reset the whole device to factory default would mean that certain parts of the emmc would need to be reserved for a recovery partition. And as that anyhow would only be needed for people messing with the OS part of OSMC this would be unnessary burden for the thousands that only change the MC part of OSMC.
i did try reset kodi on the next reboot before and after reboot i still have my old library back, probably i will keep using the usb, to me nothing is better then star from scratch , we all have our prefer ways of doing things, anyways is no a big deal i was just curios
That would be very strange and we should investigate.
So you mean you ticked that option, rebooted and you were not presented with the Initial configuration steps (choose language, skin,…)?
Can this be fixed in the next update? I’m using July 2018 update and can confirm that the “MyOSMC -> Update -> Manual Control -> Reset Kodi on next reboot” doesn’t work. My wi-fi still can connect, my library is still intact, nothing’s changed.
I provided manual command line instructions above. As this is a rarely used function, and MyOSMC is currently undergoing a rewrite, it’s very low on the list of things to do.
