Update latest version Kodi and settings were gone... - Exnor - 7th Feb, 2015 05:18 AM
So today I've updated one of my Pi's (that is always up-to-date) to the latest avaible updates (apt-get upgrade etc etc) and i found out that its already running Kodi
...But at the same time all of my settings and add-ons were gone...
So i listed the directories to find out that they were still on the .xbmc folder... And so i copied them to the .kodi folder and after some tinkering they are finally working...
My settings had to be all re-done ...
So my question is, before i update my other Pi, is this suposed to happen or was it a bug?
Thks guys.
After upgrade, all settings gone - maybeme - 7th Feb, 2015 06:53 AM
After upgrading my installation (stable branch) and restarting, I lost all my local settings. It seems like my /home/xbian/.xbmc folder was not renamed to /home/xbian/.kodi
Fixed it myself, maybe others will benefit:
Terminal
sudo service xbmc stop
mv ~/.kodi ~/.kodi-backup
cp ~/.xbmc ~/.kodi
sudo service xbmc start
mv ~/.kodi ~/.kodi-backup
cp ~/.xbmc ~/.kodi
sudo service xbmc start
(Making a backup and using cp instead of mv, just to be on the safe side ;-) )

Have the same little problem
I copied all settings from .xbmc to .kodi and it works for me
Now i have two settings directorys:
xbian/.xbmc
xbian/.kodi
Only changes in .kodi "works"

I had the same problem
I tried copying the .xbmc to .kodi directory and everything seemed fine......until I tried to play a movie
All movies now seem to play in 640x480. I have checked the settings and they appear correct, so something is still amiss.

Guys, @f1vefour mentioned, you should report issue to git, so it addressed and looked by devs

I symlinked .xmbc to .kody and kody.bin start fine, according to the logs
I still didn't try to play a movie. Maybe later I will have time to do

I've created issue #667 for this on GitHub
RE: Update latest version Kodi and settings were gone... - Fabio72 - 8th Feb, 2015 12:09 AM
also for me every video seems 640*480
also I get ERROR: Unable to load libmpeg2.so.0, reason: libmpeg2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
http://pastebin.com/HiCVUR7t
I reinstalled libmpeg2-4 with apt-get and I get rid of the previous error, but the video is still stuttering like it's without hardware acceleration
------------------
seems only iso dvd play is broken

Discovered another stupid bug... now i cant access SMB shares on my windows machine (no changes on the shares and i can access them on all my other computers including my 2nd Pi that is not updated to this last version...)
Can anyone point me to the file(s) were the configuration is saved? I dont know why but this version (kodi) keeps saving the username but not the password of the share (and no go with anonymous access too).
Thks

This happened to me too. It's the return of the 'overwrite fstab' bug on upgrade.
You will need to 'sudo nano /etc/fstab' and re-add your SMB links there. I have a text file with mine in as it makes this a quick cut 'n' paste job after upgrades.
Skywatch.
