As easy as every other update. Download tar. Shift to .update/ on htpc. Reboot.

Lost me there? Not sure how you do this.

Read the reply from Frisch. He is a developer and knows. Usually you can SFTP to the Chromebox via an FPT app that supports the protocol. .update folder is inside the /Storage, and you need to extract the 4 files from the TAR archive, and copy them over. When restarting, the system updates itself.

But you should not do it transitioning to KODI, as there are lot of changes. The best way to do it is to make a bootable OpenELEC USB stick, boot from it, do a quick install. If you want the old setup and folders and all, including addons, do an OpenELEC backup, make sure to COPY that file from the backup folder in storage to your computer. After installing Kodi, you can restore the backup. Frisch, is that correct? Or do you mean something else by doing a database export and import?

Great work guys! Thanks a lot. Fun over the Holliday season Smile
