171 to 172 = restart loop
“sudo mv /usr/share/kodi/addons/skin.osmc/ ~/skin.osmc.bak/” = working w/ no osmc skin
Once working, exit and
“sudo mv ~/skin.osmc.bak/ /usr/share/kodi/addons/skin.osmc/” or “sudo apt-get --reinstall install mediacenter-skin-osmc”
resulted in either the restart loop , or ‘The following add-ons are incompatible with this version of Kodi and have been automatically disabled: OSMC’
172 to 161 = restart loop
same as above worked
161 to 172 with skin.osmc moved/not installed = no restart loop and 0 sad face restarts
172 to 161 with skin.osmc moved/not installed = no restart loop and 0 sad face restarts
I use confluence myself and only looked at skin.osmc because I had ‘The following add-ons are incompatible with this version of Kodi and have been automatically disabled: OSMC’ pop-up after removing the Addons26.db during 171 to 172.
I understand the value of the debug logs, debugging is always enabled + some component specific for debugging add-ons but this has been a case where the kodi logs have been completely useless so I kept none.
Hope this feedback is of more use than the logs/lack of have been.
