Skin not changeable when LE is installed without network (9.2.1)

1st Official Post

    Hi hi,

    System: Raspi 3b+/ Raspi 4

    When LE 9.2.1 is booted the first time without a network connection, you cant change the skin even when a network connection is done afterwards.

    If you try by selection Settings -> Interface -> Skin -> Get more... simply nothing happens and you are returned to the privious screen.

    When LE 9.2.1 is installed while haveing a network connection, this doesnt happen.

    Tried it with a LAN connection.

    Damn it.. wasted hours of my time :)

    That's not very surprising when you are trying to download new skins from the Kodi repository without a network connection.

    Changing skins can be done without a network+internet connection, but only those that are already installed.

    you didnt read

    " you cant change the skin even when a network connection is done afterwards."

    i only did the first setup without a connection. when i try to change the skin, a network connection is available.

    NO!

    Even after a reboot with network connected, i cant change the skin over the "Get more..." button. You are just returned back to the previous screen.

    i wrote the image again on the sd card to start from scratch WITH a networking connection and the problem is gone.

    Tried it now 3-4 times and i'm pretty sure its a bug

    edit:

    Give me some minutes. Trying it on my new raspi4 to see if its version related.

    edit2:

    the raspi4 image acts the same way.
