Error loading Kodi, attempts to load 3 times, then goes back to menu.

@Zerphane What folder did you remove ? Can you post the crash log again on pastebin.com ?
Do you have enouth disk space available ?

Zerphane

@mitu I removed .kodi folder

Pastebin of crash log - https://pastebin.com/5N6zc4hp

Still plenty of space on the card.

Thank you

@Zerphane It doesn't look like you moved/removed /home/pi/.kodi
It stills complains that it cannot open /home/pi/.kodi/userdata/profiles.xml Double check that. If after that it still does not work, my guess is that you have a damaged sdcard.

Zerphane

@Rascas I did delete the .kodi folder, I refreshed after the delete and it does not exist. Then I rebooted the system and did a new install of Kodi, and the issue still comes up. I mean it will complain about the folder because it creates it when you install Kodi.

Rascas

@Zerphane Yep, that is why I told you to move/remove the .kodi folder, to create a new one because the old one had problems. If it keeps complaining about the same thing after you remove it, the only thing I can think about is that you have a broken/damaged sdcard. Try making a backup of your sdcard, like with win32diskimager and try restoring the image to the same sdcard or a new one.

Zerphane

@Rascas Yeah, I'll try that, because the folder is gone, and a fresh one still flags as an issue. I may also try snagging the .kodi folder from a working unit and copying it onto this card as well.

On retropie that folder is a symlink to /opt/retropie/configs/ports/kodiso removing the link wont remove the old files. You have to delete from the other location.

Zerphane

@BuZz so deleting the .kodi doesn't do the job? What else do I need to delete? (I didnt' understand the end of your post)

Rascas

@Zerphane Remove /opt/retropie/configs/ports/kodi
Something like this will do the job:

sudo rm -r /opt/retropie/configs/ports/kodi

I corrected my terrible typos. I had someone ring my doorbell and accidentally hit send so it was half gibberish. Sorry haha.

That's what happens when you try and type on a phone with fingers that look like pork sausages and get distracted half way.
