Problems installing addon

kari0ca · February 9, 2021 at 10:29 PM

Hi there, i'm not new to kodi, i'm using since 2016 when i installed on my raspberry pi2.

I've bought a raspberry pi4 to replace the old pi2, and installed libreelec.

Now i want to install a new skin and a few addon, but no success on that. if i try to install a repo from a zip file or a addon from a known repo, the process says: Instalation failed

I've generated this log in order to seek for help on this.

This is the first time that i'm using libreelec, i've been using OSMC and that never happened to me

Code

ERROR: Copy - Failed write to file special://home/addons/packages/script.xbmcbackup-1.1.3.zip
ERROR: CAddonInstallJob[script.xbmcbackup]: failed to download special://home/addons/packages/script.xbmcbackup-1.1.3.zip

not sure where that path comes from but that is not a path that exists at LE

It maps to /storage/.kodi/addons .. it's failing to write the zip to disk. Check the /storage partition size?

Code

Apr 11 16:28:36 LibreELEC fsck: /dev/mmcblk0p1: 220 files, 18484/65501 clusters
Apr 11 16:28:36 LibreELEC fsck: STORAGE: clean, 1228/8192 files, 32113/32768 blocks

chewitt STORAGE is not expanded. But I have no experience what is best practice to do it manually on RPI4.

I had to install libreelec again, that solved my problem, since this was a fresh install i haven't lost anything.

Thank you all for the answers
