Upgrade/clean install from Openelec

1st Official Post

    Hi,

    I have an Intel based Zbox ID41 machine currently installed Openelec 6.03.
    Since I have a large library of movies and tv shows, I wish to keep the database with its particulars. I would like to start with a new install of Libre and then to import the library with its full conetent and particulars.
    What options I have or how should I proceed with the upgrade other than making a backup prior anything?

    Hi,

    I try today an update from openelec 6.0.3 to libreelec 7.0.1 on an intel NUC (SSD install). I donload the image and the update will be made after reboot. But after the reboot and the update was finished I muss a lot of menu at the homescreen. Get only Option, Programm and Video. There was a lot of empty fields that doesn't show any text. As an example, I navigate to Power down with remote at the home screen. A popup was shown but with 4 empty fields.

    Is there a easy way to make an update from Kodi to libre?

    I make an rollback and copy the latest openelec 6.0.3 files again to the update dior. After a reboot openelec was back with all windows and fields.


    Thanks for help

    Edit: Saw some users that makes update from OE to LE without any problem. Don't know whats going wrong from my side.

    the Problem is the Kodi 15 -> Kodi 16 update - every customization at the skin gets lost.

    I made no customization. Use plain openelec. What can I do? new installation? I use Mysql with advanced.xml. So I don't lost my library...:-)
