Im not sure what exactly the problem was, but I switched from wired connection to wifi and auto-update works again, even without the "wait for network option".

Im thinking it was maybe connecting to the wired network before the openssh script executed (thus "wait for network" didn't matter), then openssh was doing its initialization thing as kodi was trying to do it verification thing. Then maybe using wifi slowed down the connecting enough that openssh had time to initialize first, i dunno ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So it turns out the "wait for network" option doesn't make a difference. The auto-update box is still grayed out and nothing auto-updates.

Perhaps it depends on which repository is being used. Which addons are you talking about?

Default repositories, all of them

I asked the same question on the kodi forums and was just asked if I had an active network connection during startup and was advised to try the "wait for network" option.

Im not home yet to try it but I think that may be the problem because I do have openvpn set up in autostart.sh. The network connection works fine but Im not sure if its connecting before kodi finishes loading up or not.

Ill post back after I get home and try it.

I just noticed that none of my add-ons appear to update themselves (even after a reboot) and when I go to add-ons and look at any of them the auto-update checkbox is grayed out. I can go to "Available Updates" and update them manually and everything works fine.

What might be the problem and how can I fix this?
