Unable to put 4:3 skin on osmc on my rasberrypie 3b+

Help and Support

I’m new to the Raspberry Pi world and I’m having trouble adding a specific skin to my Raspberry Pi 3B+. It’s a cool skin that modifies the display to a 4:3 aspect ratio, but the problem is that my device isn’t connecting to Wi-Fi when I apply the skin.I’m following an easy step-by-step tutorial by Sam Nazarko on this website (https://osmcsk.in/), but I get stuck on step 8 and encounter this issue.

I’ve been at my wits’ end trying to figure this out. Both DHCP and UPnP are enabled on my router, and my laptop and Raspberry Pi are connected to the same wireless network. I flashed the latest release of the Raspberry Pi 3B+ from this site ( Download - OSMC ) onto a formatted SD card. I downloaded the 4:3 skin from this link ( Release OSMC Skin v21.2.1 (4:3 edition) (August) · osmc/skin.osmc · GitHub ) and placed it in the root of my SD card, but I still can’t access it

You don’t need to mess about downloading the skin. It’s installed by default. Just go to Settings→Interface→skin and choose the 4:3 skin

As for WiFi, are you saying it worked OK before you tried to change the skin? I suggest reinstall, use the OSMC skin then choose the 4:3 version as above.

If you still have WiFi issues, can you use a wired connection to the ethernet port and post some logs?
