1st Official Post

    Hello everyone. I have a question about a problem I have. when I add backup from one box to another box I am getting a Add-on migration screen and it just hangs. Never complete the job of migration. Does anyone know what is going on?? I let it run overnight 4+ hours and it is still says "Add-on migration please wait" I am stuck what to do next.

    backup from one box to another box...

    And which boxes are those?

    4+ hours is of course not good. I guess that can somehow happen when Krypton-compatible versions of your addon(s) are not yet, or no longer, available.

    As always, it's good to make a full backup first per machine before you start upgrading. Something with Murphy's Law and such. Try rebooting and, if necessary, delete the Addons26/27.db files before you reboot again. You will probably have to reinstall the addons after that. Addon settings should still be there.

    I have two boxes I built. A intel Nuc box and a off brand mini fanless PC. The Nuc box was the one with the backup I was trying to put on the mini pc box. On the Nuc I had openelec on it. Then updated it to libreelec with the simple libreelec file I put in the update folder. Created my build and Addons I wanted. Did a backup on a a USB drive.

    The mini pc never had software on it. So I used a USB-SD creator to put the newest libreelec on it. Then I put a tried to use the backup USB from the NUC pc and that is where I am stuck with it hangs at Add-on migration. I hope that does help.
