I've got the same problem.

I'm going to run Gparted from a Live CD to check and change my volume label. Did you figure it out?

Okay. I've found the add-ons folder and see a bunch of stuff that I'd LOVE to migrate to the other machine.

Is there an installation procedure or can I just copy/paste the contents into the new machine?

I just tried the fdisk -l command but it looks like maybe LibreELEC is so stripped down that these commands aren't an option. Do you know how I can get the add-on files from one machine to the other?

Thanks again! Really looking forward to giving it a try. My eyes hurt from reading all day. I'll give it another go tomorrow.

Just answered one of my own questions.

The files were hidden. If you want to see all the hidden files and folders use "ls -a" command.

Helpful!

I'll use your info to have a closer look. I've since downloaded the Backup add-on on a working iMac and on the iMac with the new SSD drive. I followed a youtube video showing how to backup and restore as much as allowed.

The skin and some other settings made it across but the main Add-on that has all the IPTV stuff didn't install correctly. I'll go through the process again and write down the error this time.

When you say .kodi/userdata/addon_data/skin.<name> how to get to those files? I don't see them in the folders within Kodi's Gui. When I SSH in all I see in the root folder is backup, music, screenshots, videos, lost+found, pictures, tvshows.

I'm clearly a novice Linux user.

I can't tell you much about our organization other than it's a very large yacht.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to keep poking around to see what I can find.

Hi Everyone,

First post!

I've got 70 iMac's running LibreElec. The iMac's are old (2009) and have the original 500GB HDD installed. They're starting to fail rather often. We usually use Clonezilla to reimage a new drive. We've run out of 500GB drives. I've purchased 32GB SSD drives. Clonezilla has a really hard time cloning to drives with different properties so I've decided to just start fresh.

Downloaded the LibreELEC install files and BAM so easy. I've got it running. Now I just have to make it look and feel like the other machines onboard.

There are some proprietary add-ons and a custom skin that were created for us. Do you think it would be possible to copy just those skin and add-on files off the old HDD and paste them in my new install? Does anyone know where skin and add-on files are located and what they look like?

Thanks a lot!
