Yesterday, the kodi install on my N2 (running CE 9.2.8) started acting up. I’ve been uninstalling/reinstalling addons like crazy, and it’s still not sorting itself out. Most everything I do results in an endless spinning circle - to which my only response is a hard reset.
I think I’m about to succumb to a factory-reset resolution. The only problem is, I do not know how to do a reset on the N2. Can somebody point me in the right direction? CE is running on the emmc and I’ve got the open SD slot. I can also ssh, but guessing that does no good for this particular operation.
Also, would it be worth taking this opportunity to upgrade to CE 19?
Re: the upgrade to CE19, are there published instructions to make that happen? Will that be applied as an automatic update at some point? It looks like just about everything I use is already working on 19, btw.
There won’t be a forced upgrade to matrix/CE19. We urge people with capable hardware to upgrade and in the end of the year we’ll terminate support for the legacy builds as announced here: CoreELEC 9 (Leia) End of Life Announcement
There aren’t many (or any) main addons that are still incompatible with matrix. So I would urge you to upgrade. The upgrade is pretty simple, either burn a new image to the emmc if you have an emmc USB/uSD adapter or after resetting your installation just upgrade with the CE19 tar file.
