Kodi DB Issues after LE Downgrade

    • New

    So I was using the LE 13 nightly on my RPi 5 and it kept crashing randomly so want to go back to stable but when I install 12 over 13 it does not migrate the updates of the 13 DB into 12 DB.
    Currently on my DB I got both DB versions but 13 version has up to date data and 12 version is out dated.
    Is there anyway to force the migration back down?
    Or any other ways to fix this?

    Kodi only supports upgrades not downgrades and I've never seen tools/scripts for downgrading. The sole option* is to update the LE12 DB so it finds new media and manually mark a few things read to align statuses. I'd also drop the newer DB version tables from the DB (if using a shared SQL DB) or delete the newer local DB files (if using local DB files) so that in the future when you update to LE13 again, Kodi migrates the current LE12 files instead of using outdated LE13 files.

    * unless you're a database wizzard, but those people don't normally post here for help.
