[TESTING] Kodi 17 (Krypton) builds for Raspberry Pi (continued)

Yes, so now either downgrade skin too, or just tweak the dpkg status file to mark it as installed. The other option is to wait until a new version is published; probably in the morning.

The file is /var/lib/dpkg/status.

What do i need to change in that file?

Have a search (I think I covered it recently), you just need to mark the skin and dependencies as installed.

I would honestly just recommend waiting. My repo will update soon, so you can grab a fixed skin from there. I’ll let you know when.

I would definitely wait. However, I can’t boot into OSMC right now… It loops

That is an unfortunate consequence of trying pre-release software. I will let you know when a new version is ready.

You can now grab the updated skin from my repository. Use dpkg -i to install it and then apt-get -f install to resolve.

wget http://apt.osmc.tv/pool/main/m/mediacenter-skin-osmc/mediacenter-skin-osmc_4.1.1-1_all.deb -O mediacenter-skin-osmc.deb
sudo dpkg -i mediacenter-skin-osmc.deb
sudo apt-get -f install

I’m not sure what level of stability you need / are expecting with these builds but it may be a good idea to stick with the stable release in future.

I have not had a chance to test this myself yet. Please confirm the new skin works as expected.

Perfect. I’m not expecting much, just want to test the latest and greatest :smiley:

You would probably be better off testing the official Krypton builds, instead of these. There are some differences, and the official builds are more of what will be included in the final version of Krypton. These builds have some more experimental changes that may take a longer time to get in to the next version of Kodi.

Skin 4.1.1-1 has been uploaded which fixes the issue.

Thanks @gmc

Hi All,

I’ve just tried the latest test build and noticed a problem using my USB RF Remote (August PCR450), for some reason I’m unable to get any of the buttons to respond, yet if I change it to “cursor” mode, I have a cursor on screen and it appears to be OK.

I’ve tried using the keymap add-on and that doesn’t detect any key presses.

I’ve reverted back to the stable build from an SD image, I’m happy to provide more information, although not sure what would be relevant in trying to figure out what is going wrong.

Many thanks :slight_smile:

Hi thanks for that lovely description of what went wrong, but as we are not clairvoyant yet we are going to need debug logs to actually do something about it.

So i do really recommend you to actually read

Cheers Toast

I was a bit hasty in reverting back to the stable version, I’ll have a go at installing the update again and let you know the logs. I’m surprised no one else has experienced this issue, being as it’s simply a PnP remote; I thought it may have been a setting I’ve overlooked?

remember debug logs, normal logs is useless.

Here is the log file http://paste.osmc.io/fugarewiqi.vhdl

Just a quick summary off what I’ve performed: From restart, attempted to press numerous keys on remote, then switched to cursor mode, navigated through a couple menus, switched back, press some more buttons.

I’ve used Yatse to stop debug towards the end.
