help going back to a stable build - janice - 2015-03-14

ok so i have kodi 14.2 rc2 on my mythbuntu setup. ive tried following the wiki to go back to a stable build but it just keeps reverting back to the unstable ver. i'm not great with linux yet so a step by step would be great.

the main reason for going to a stable is to set all the front ends to sync with each other/ share database. will this work with both linux and windows setups? our main living room setup is a windows pc the rest are linux. i really want to make it so when a make a change to the skin that it does it to all of the front ends. it sucks to try and make all them work the same when you have 5 in one house, and i'm the only one that knows the ins and outs (haha kinda)

thanks guys

I suspect you may not be removing the unstable PPA, so be sure you are getting rid of that.

http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Install_XBMC_for_Linux

See section 1.14

In this case it would actually be
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:team-xbmc/unstable

then
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove kodi
sudo apt-get install kodi

(you may not need the first line if you already have the stable ppa installed - most likely you do)
