Dear Experts,
I am planning to upgrade my OpenElec Installation to Libreelec. But I am afraid I ran into problems quickly. I found this web site: Updating - LibreELEC and it makes a convincing point to do a fresh install after backing up the userdata folder. I guess this folder contains the library data. It says to stop Kodi and then enter commands in a shell:
cd /storage/backup
systemctl stop kodi
tar -czf kodi_userdata.tar.gz /storage/.kodi/userdata
How do I do that? I mean the first part. How do I "stop Kodi" without shutting down the system? How do I get a shell ? Will I get the shell on the box itself or do I have to ssh into it? Because, I don't remember to have set a password or user name for ssh and it asks me for one. It is some time ago since I set it up....
While the box usually does what I want it to do, recently it is acting up with the Wifi connection (which is need to connect to the NAS with the media) and I have the hope that this is a software issue that might be solved with the update.
The box is an Intel NUC, Celeron CPU [email protected] GHz
Any help would be appreciated.
