      Addons27.db is empty and needs to be deleted, then Kodi launches fine.

      I have a few friends and family running OSMC and this has been an issue there as well.

        @mediamogul It was easily sorted with a look at the log and a quick google but as you know not everyone will do that!

            @mediamogul hmm, I just rebooted my OSMC and had no issues after that.
            But whatever, after an hour of testing I can say that Krypton is not for me. In my setup the sound is worst than on Jarvis and so far I've not found a Skin that I like (I I really hate the big widgets on the Mimic Skin. They are covering my custom wallpaper).

              @Rascas Seems a lot of people including myself are getting a first run error on Krypton. Addons27.db is empty and needs to be deleted, then Kodi launches fine.

              That is most probably an indication that you have problematic addons installed. Rebuilding the database may solve that problem in some cases. The log always helps ;)

                    Device: RPi 3 (check my sig)
                    RetroPie 4.1.5
                    Kodi 17
                    Controller: iBuffalo USB SNES gamepad

                    I installed Kodi 16 at first and the gamepad worked fine. Now after upgrading to Kodi 17 I went to the input setup menu but no button click gets registered. I have the Kodi controller which looks like a xbox360 pad and I additionally installed the SNES pad but it just simply won't recognize any input. It says Press A and a push A but nothing. The countdown timer starts and ends the input registration phase.

                    Anyone having an iBuffalo gamepad with Kodi 17 up and running?

                    UPDATE!
                    Cannot setup any gamepad or joystick. Just tried my wireless 360 arcade stick. No luck. Right now only the keyboard works.

                      @FlyingTomahawk Yeah, my iBuffallo worked no problem. Did you hot plug the controller? Try rebooting with the controller attached and try again. (EDIT: Yeah, I saw that, sorry. -Did you add the SNES controller in the options?)

                        Yes I did add the SNES controller from the get more option. Also rebooted a couple times. No luck.
                        Can I or do I have to edit an xml file somewhere?

                            Some addons are bad programmed, others not updated for a very long time, etc. This can cause problems on Kodi updates. Most of what ppl call "Builds" can cause problems also.

                            @FlyingTomahawk In Kodi 17, you shouldn't need to edit xml keymaps, specially with that joystick which is confirmed to be working. Did you follow the configuration steps in the first post ? The log file may help to see what's your problem.

                                @xFlesk Some people don't like the new look, but you can install the old Confluence skin. Or downgrade and hold Kodi packages.
                                When a change is big is difficult to please everybody I guess.

                                  I thought I would like it more than I have. Right now, it feels like my hands are tied behind my back, but I'm learning to live in it bit by bit.

                                      @xFlesk I would recommend a skin called Xonfluence which is based on Confluence but includes a lot of customisation options (If that's your thing). Worth checking it out as an update for Krypton was released.

                                            File path: /home/pi/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/peripheral.joystick/resources/buttonmaps/xml/linux

                                            Interesting, I am missing the folder structure after /home/pi/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/

                                            /peripheral.joystick/resources/buttonmaps/xml/linux is simply not there. I created that folder structure and added the iBuffalo USB_2-axis_8-button_gamepad_8b_2a.xml file in there but still no luck. I am now uninstalling everything and will start from scratch again. Maybe something went wrong during the update from Jarvis to Krypton?

                                            Oh and btw. I like the new interface. Kinda reminds me of bootstrap.

                                            UPDATE:

                                            Re-installed everything. Still no luck. This time it installed directly Kodi 17 Krypton, so no update was done.
                                            Still no controllers work except for the keyboard.
