Problem with downgrade
#1
Hi,
I installed kodibuntu, so I updated using the code "sudo apt-get install kodi", then kodi jarvis (16.0) was installed in my system. The problem is: when I use iptv not all channels work, and I tryed this same list in another version of kodi (15.2 on windows) and it works very well... So, how can I install kodi 15.2 in my kodibuntu?

Unfortunately a downgrade isn't a good idea. So you have to reinstall. Take this for the download:

http://mirrors.xbmc.org/releases/kodibun..._amd64.iso

Normally, after installing this, you should only do:

Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y

and you are done.

But...it might be (but I would doubt that), that the nightly ppa is used. If that's the case, you could check before doing the update && upgrade thing...read further...

After the installation with the link above is done, switch to Kodibuntu Desktop-mode. See here: http://kodi.wiki/view/Kodibuntu#Desktop_mode

Open up a terminal and show us the out of:

Code:
sudo apt-cache policy kodi

If the output of the command above looks like this:

Quote:http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/xbmc-nightly/ubuntu/ trusty/main

(look at the "xbmc-nightly" in the path). Then the nightly ppa is used and you will get Kodi 16 instead of Kodi 15.2. In this case you have to remove that ppa with:

Code:
sudo apt-add-repository --remove ppa:team-xbmc/xbmc-nightly

and add the correct ppa with:

Code:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa

after that you could just do:

Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y

If the output of the policy-command looks like this:

Quote:http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/

everything is fine and you are on the correct ppa. You could upgrade with the first command in this posting (update && dist-upgrade -y).

Hope that helps a bit. And if you have further questions to your not working channels, I would take a look at the forum rules Wink. We don't provide support for probably illegal channel files you get from elsewhere. So this posting is only for helping you to get the Kodi version you want. Nothing else Wink. If you have problems with your channels, ask where you get the list from.

Have fun

Greetings
David
