safe mode, and now?

    I managed to recreate the error - but still no idea what is causing it.

    2019-11-08 09:41:34.809 T:3011690512 INFO: loading settings

    Edit the SD card on *another* machine.

    Code
    cd /storage/kodi/userdata
cp profiles.xml profiles.xml.orig
rm profiles.xml
touch profiles.xml

    Place SD card in RPi and boot. It should start up in safemode.

    To return to normal operation:

    Code
    cd /storage/kodi-FAILED/userdata
rm profiles.xml
cp profiles.xml.orig profiles.xml

    Now reboot and Kodi should start normally.
