I am experiencing this problem, I got as far as "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES" in the terminal app but step 6 confuses me
How do i right click finder when I have a one click mouse? I must be missing something.
I followed the instructions and deleted "addons27.db" as soon as i went to open kodi the unexpected closed would you like to reopen poped back up and so did the addons27.db.

for step 5 I copy/paste "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES" in to the terminal app.


Eriks-iMac:~ Epeden$ defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
Eriks-iMac:~ Epeden$

this is what I got.

was i supposed to copy/past the error log from the console app?

either way I was not successful, any help wold be appreciated.
Here's the link to my Addons27.db file. The instructions fixed my issue. Thanks!

Hi, This doesn't help me, I come unstuck on step 7 as there is no folder in Application Support called Kodi or XBMC.

Any other suggestions?
It worked...Thank you. I had to use the 'go to folder' option to find the database folder...

Here are the .db files:

Ok it lasted weeks until finally users began to provide files. I guess it will need some more time until users read what i wrote during my last tests.

@b7000 would you be so kind to incoporate the last sentence of my post here:

http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid2574119

Into your description? Db files are not enough because i can't reproduce. I need a snapshot of the whole userdata folder just before the workaround is even done.
Addon27.db and Addon20.db

Its key to right clink on finder and open a new window when reopening Kodi during the rebuild steps.
I kept clicking on the Applications under the GO tab and it wouldn't work. Attention to detail is the game. Thanks for the help! No I just have to figure out how to re-setup my entire Kodi profile..

Yep Attention to the detail is the game. While you provided the whole databases i stated in my last post that i need a snapshot of the whole userdata folder before the workaround is applied Wink

@Memphiz help please? :c </3
You can stop posting now. This is caused by third-party crapware and we will not fix it.
Hi, I'm having an issue where Kodi will not launch. I keep receiving an error saying Kodi quit unexpectedly. I have searched the forum for a solution and I believe the following would help. In my ~/Library/Application Support/Kodi/userdata/Database I have the following files/folders

Addons20.db
Addons27.db
ADSP0.db
CDDB
Epg11.db
MyMusic56.db
MyVideos99.db
saltscache.db
Textures13.db
TV29.db
UKTurk.db
ViewModes6.db

Like a previous poster, I do not have Kodi listed in the Applications Support folder so I have become stuck.

Can anyone help me please?

Regards
