[SOLVED] Update latest version Kodi and settings were gone...

[tina]

Hi, guys
I've made a clean install of kodi on rpi.
Copied the contents of addons and addon_data from my old xbmc installation to the new ~/.kodi/addons and ~/.kodi/userdata/addons_data

And I dont' see any addons on the new Kodi installation. The directories are there, but nothing on the TV screen.

also, strange but inspite of clean install I still have .xbmc directory. Not that it bothers me.

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).

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.

Thks for the tip mate

I think there's a file somewhere with which addons are installed You can try to install them manually from within kodi so they get added again, and then overwrite the .kodi/userdata/addons_data

The .xbmc can be a symlink, so I would leave it as it is. If you're sure it's a real folder I would delete it and create a symlink, so you can use addons which aren't adjusted for kodi yet.

I did a major upgrade todae from gotham to kodi and all went smoothly - Well done the devs!

NO problem with fstab overwrite, NO libraries lost, everything just worked straight away! Thank you!

Nice!

And all of your settings and Add-ons were carry over to the .kodi folder? or did had to move them/re-install?

@Exnor,

Everything happened automatically - No moving or renaming files. Libraries intact after update, samba shares still working etc.....

It's the most responsive mouse yet on a xbian with model B pi,deliciously smooth..... The devs have done good work on this.

Just beware that there is an apparent issue with external DAC.
