Kodi downgrade & addon migration issue

[notthesame]

Hello everyone,
The issue is i can downgrade but i think im not downgrading correctly , i had 17.6 for a while since it has been out for kodi.

I might of did a mistake of updating to kodi 18.1 , i had issue like after playback the video would go black and i can still hear the video, gamepad buttons on my ps3 controller, back dont work and the skins views are glitchy as heck.

Okay i read alot on how to downgrade and i got it from 18.1 to 17.6 but when i install the kodi-peripheral-joystick i go into kodi and it says add-on migration in progress please wait and left it for a while?
Heres my log

Basicly if install the joystick addon this happens but if i dont it runs kodi normal but i liked my kodi with my gamepad, i tired mapping but noting happens my gamepad runs great in retropie, am i installing a old or newer version of the joystick addon.

If someone can tell how go install kodi correctly with this addon for my game pad or is there a way to do this without the addon to get this going.
Please help me!
Thank you and everyone for making retropie on the pi possible.

@notthesame If you really want to downgrade Kodi, you also have to downgrade the package "kodi-peripheral-joystick".
But I don't recommend downgrading, your problem was already talked in this forums and it is easally fixed by updating Raspbian packages and rebooting at the end.

hi bud thanks, if you dont mind asking, how would i go out about downgrading "kodi-peripheral-joystick" i been searching for 2 days now.
if 18.1 has been fixed with updating packages then ill just stick with 18.1 i might of miss this in the fourms thank you alot.
