Just checked again, looks like upgrade is tried but failing. Maybe connection issues (with the VPN) maybe something went wrong when you tried to install openvpn or you connection is having issues.

Suggest you disable openvpn for the upgrade and try to run upgrade manually from command line to see any potential issues

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

looks like it updated, but i’m still having the same issue. doubt you’ll want to help:
the issue is with multiple add ons, including youtube. blue loading symbol comes, goes, and nothing happens

(haven’t re-enabled vpn yet)

also, when trying to access pi IP with putty, connection timed out twice before it went through (not sure if that’s a sign of something specific)

how’s that?

Try to remove the dubious addons and restart KODI. Then try again.
For testing, you can just rename your .kodi folder in your home directory from commandline after shutting down kodi.

dubious addons removed, KODI rebooted.
not sure how to rename .kodi folder. pretty new at this.

SSH in and try:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Paste the output here please.

can’t copy it, but it says something along the lines of

following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
rbp2-image-4.4.27-7-osmc

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded

Sorry, but thats not helpful at all. I need to see the entire output of the command.

But it that’s all you are seeing, then your Pi has probably been already updated.

right, i know it’s updated. the issue is that nothing will play, even on youtube. blue symbol for loading, then it does nothing.
here’s the output

reading package lists… done
building dependency tree
reading state information… done
calculating upgrade… the following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
rbp2-image-4.4.27-7-osmc
use ‘apt-get autoremove’ to remove it.
done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded

Via ssh try:

sudo service kodi stop
mv .kodi .kodi.bak

Then restart and try to play something.

Edit: If it works then, you have a problem with an addon or kodi configuration. If not, you can restore the old configuration:

sudo service mediacenter stop
rm -r .kodi
mv .kodi.bak .kodi

could not connect to repository

A bit more precisely?

tried to access kodi repository and that was what i got

So your internet connection might be down?

I’d suggest a reinstall of OSMC and do not install those banned addons.

i’m connected to my internet on this laptop
