The fix: My OSMC → Updates → Manual Controls → Apply Hotfix, and enter updates2026fix. You only need to do it once. What is broken Two things, and you may have hit either o…

How long should applying the fix take and should I get a message when it is done? My attempt asked me if I really wanted to do it, I said yes and it did not come back with any message.
