Is there anyway to do this? I can find a 14.1 imagine online but if I upgrade that I assume it will skip 15 and go straight to 16

As fas as I can see, there no 15.2 in the ppa anymore: https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

Kodi 16.0 is stable now. The question might be, what exactly yourproblem with kodi 16 might be? Better to help things getting better as to use an outdated version.

If you want to use Kodi 15.2, you could go the OpenELEC way. That's on 6.0.1 which ships Kodi 15.2.

I also need to downgrade from 16 to 15.2

HTPCs run openelec6.0.1, which is on 15.2, media server runs kodi on ubuntu to update the mysql db. Server updated to 16, so now the HTPC's are no longer seeing library updates.

Here is an kodi-old/ppa:

Thanks wsnipex,

Found this thread, http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=261022

Add repo kodi-old with sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/kodi-old , apt-get update , then apt-cache showpkg shows 15.2, and synaptic has both versions in the hstory.

Using package>force version however, doesn't seem to work? I can select the option, and select 15.2, but it doesn't actually do anything, am I missing a step?

[DaVu]

Please get us the output of:

Code:

apt-cache policy Kodi

I had a working setup using Kodi 15.2, but after an update through Ubuntus software updater I got Kodi 16.0, and after this tvheadend addon v2.2.14 stopped working complaining about "lost connection". but I don't know how to downgrade kodi... I'll test the suggestions in this thread!

[hd789]

ok, found the answer for my system.

I think I need to downgrade from 16.1 to 15.2 as well. My Kodibuntu is intermittently experiencing sound with no video. I think I found a reference to this being the result of changes between 15 and 16 that have top do with video hardware acceleration. Thank you very much for posting where to get the 15 ppa.

While I am at it, an even bigger thanks for one of your posts that explained in detail how to go about updating ppa's and upgrading Kodi.. Without that post I never would have accomplished upgrading Kodibuntu from 14 to 16.even though 16 does not appear to be working for me.

Cheers.

I would like to also thank you for this very useful post on the complete series of commands needed to downgrade Kodi. This is similar in nature to the post DaVu made that was of such great help to me.

Cheers

I got it. I used this post to see what was going on.

Turns out I had the unstable ubuntu ppa:team-xbmc/unstable installed from the image i downloaded.

I had to remove that and install the stable one.

Thanks.

16.1 running great on my Dual core mac mini i386
