[RPi4] 11.0.6 -> 12.0.1 Falling to safe mode after restoring backup

    • New

    Hi all.

    My Libreelec instance falls to safe mode after perpetual restarts when restoring backup from previous version.

    HW: RPi4 2 GB RAM / 16 GB SanDisk Ultra

    Previous version of Libreelec: 11.0.6

    New version of Libreelec: 12.0.1

    I'm trying to do a Libreelec upgrade. I created backup on 11.0.6 and do a fresh install of 12.0.1. New version started and everything is fine, till I try to restore backup. Then, after restore finishes, Libreelec starts with perpetual restarts and after few it falls to safe mode. Can't find the reason. 11.x works perfectly.

    Here's a crash log: https://paste.libreelec.tv/desired-bobcat.log

    Is anything else neccessary for debug?

    Nothing stands out in the log but the most popular cause of crashes is add-ons, so I would start with a clean install of latest LE12 or LE13 nightly and then manually restore add-on settings and other essential preferences, and then reinstall the addons using latest versions from the repo. This generally negates old addons that cause issues, or you discover which add-on causes the problem as you work your way through the list.

    Ok, thanks for your advice. I've removed all addons which was not "System" or "Team Kodi", then do the update with backup restore and everything seems fine. So the problem was in one of the removed addons.
