How can I change skin via command line?

Help and Support Vero 4K / Vero 4K +

I’ve been trying (in vain) to install the Aeon MQ skins and now when I tried MQ8 it’s basically frozen - trying to install Skin Helper - each reboot brings me to that screen and nothing happens.
Can I remote into it and change the skin via command?

Thanks

Assuming you can ssh into the OSMC box, edit the following file:

~.kodi/userdata/guisettings.xml

Look for the line with the id of lookandfeelskin and change it to skin.estuary. That should get it to boot into Estuary. I’d tell you to use the OSMC skin, but I’m not sure what the ID is for that skin.

Stop Kodi first with systemctl stop mediacenter

Thanks lads, this got me back in.
First time using the box in a couple weeks due to an unexpected hospital stay, I’m still a little foggy but on the mend and gonna start bingeing some shows for my convalescence.

Just for the record the default entry is
<setting id="lookandfeel.skin" default="true">skin.osmc</setting>
