v16 Advancedsettings.xml Crashes Kodi v16
#1
Hi,

I've been using 15.2 for ages without any issue on both Android and Windows and the Android TV's upgraded themselves to v16 and now they crash any time the app is opened. If i remove the advancedsettings.xml file they load properly but obviously without my network links,

Same goes for my windows installation 15.2 works perfect then i install v16 it crashes everytime until i remove the advancedsettings.xml.

Soon as i go back to 15.2 it works properly again, any one have any ideas on what i can try to get it working properly for v16?

Any help would be greatly appreciated Smile

Below is the xml details:

<advancedsettings>
<videolibrary>
<recentlyaddeditems>75</recentlyaddeditems>
<hideemptyseries>true</hideemptyseries>
</videolibrary>
<dateadded>2</dateadded>

<videodatabase>
<type>mysql</type>
<host>192.168.1.21</host>
<port>3306</port>
<user>xbmc</user>
<pass>xbmc</pass>
<name>xbmc13_video</name>
</videodatabase>

I'm guessing there's an issue with the MySQL update. http://kodi.wiki/view/MySQL/Upgrading#Upgrade_fails

method 2 should work

The <name>xbmc13_video</name> and <name>xbmc13_music</name> are no longer used since v13.
these should be removed before update the DB. (see also the link of Ned Scott).
My Equipment:
HTPC (i7-8700K 3.7 GHz, 32 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD) Windows 10 with Kodi 18.6 & Central SQL DB (Maria DB)
AVR Emotiva RMC-1 & AMP Emotiva XPA9-Gen3, TV LG OLED 65 E6, BD oppo UDP-203, Speaker Revel Performa3 F208 / F206 / C208 / Nubert WS-14 for Atmos/DTS.x)
NAS Synology DS1817+ / DX-517/DX513 (4x8 TB RAID5 + 2 x 5x6TB in RAID5)

It is used, just not required anymore. There was once an issue with it, but that has also been fixed.
