@mitu Thanks, updating the script and reinstalling helped.

Just to note I have just improved the Kodi module as it failed on Ubuntu 20.10 - it should help with other Ubuntu versions (Basically it checks which kodi packages are available due to packaging differences between PPAs/versions)

@mitu said in How to update Kodi 18.2 to 18.5?:

Kodi is installed from the version available in the Pipplware repositories, which usually is the latest version. However, if you're running a Raspbian Stretch image (like the latest RetroPie 4.5 release), the latest version available for this version of Raspbian is 18.2, so installing 18.5 via RetroPie is not possible.
You'll have to wait for a Raspbian Buster based image/release in order to be able to install 18.5.

@devsfan1830 And the changes between 18.5 and 18.2 are minimal, it's a minor version update only. Just ignore the warning, it appears only once when there is a new version.

PS: I still use Raspbian Stretch + RetroPie latest stable version + Kodi 18.2 on my main Raspberries and Kodi works fine for what I use.

Thanks for clarifying that. I know the bug fixes were minor but I was not aware of how the Kodi versions were handled on Retropie and it was driving me nuts! I shall eagerly await Buster.

Yep. Found it. Not sure how I missed it before.

Thanks @Rascas , thought that might be the case :(

I don't suppose there is any way to install an older version of Kodi for Jessie manually? I was previously on version 17.3. If not then I guess it'll be the long process of a fresh install!

That did the trick!

Thanks for taking the time to help me out! I'm still trying to learn my way around linux ^^

I did another install run to get the log files and it installed. No idea what changed but it's working fine now. Thanks for your help anyway.
