Providing the files can be done by any public accessible file hoster (dropbox for example). Tell me what else is unclear and i try to be mor specific. Thx.

@Memphiz - I've amended the original post to include these instructions. What you didn't include is how users can notify developers of the link to their files (may be obvious to you but not a lot of users). I included this too. I'ts also far more efficient to ask users to send you the folder containing the .db files, instead of asking for a specific range of files as most users are not developers. Cheers

@Rechi - I have amended the OP to include your suggested method for locating the correct folder. Cheers

Peace

Hello all,
I've done them all till number 7, but I can't seem to find a file by either names, kodi and xmbc. Help please.

They are not files nor are referred to as files in the instructions. These are folders in a file destination path. Each title in between the / / is a folder title. Use the finder window to click into each folder in order.

Acealmansori · 2017-04-17, 14:24

Folders, yea. I clicked in each until the Application support, no folder inside it by either names. Could you look into it more @b7000? Thank you

Can you please instead ask users to make a zip of their entire userdata folder? We've already receiver several supposedly 'bad' db files but they're all perfectly fine. It's most likely something else in the users environment that is causing the issue.

So strangely I appear not to have either a

~/Library/Application Support/XBMC

or
~/Library/Application Support/KODI

directory even though I've got the same symptoms as above. Any ideas?

I restarted Kodi but I guess he redownloads the corrupted file

In that case see step 8. above.
Delete all files with addonsxx.db. So addons27.db, addons26.db, addons20.db.....
Restart Kodi to rebuild the databases

This worked perfectly - thanks

@Memphiz, this is the one you have been waiting for. I hope you will be al le to find out what is causing the problem.

**Memphiz** · 2017-04-18, 22:29

@jenesanne34 and those files contain the state before you did the workaround mentioned here in this very thread for sure? Because there seems to be an addons27.db in there already (which means you have run krypton successfully already i guess)

Damn - i looked into reproducing the issue with the files kindly provided by jenesanne34.

Sadly there was no way for me to get it into the crashing condition.

I tried.
1. Wiped my Kodi directory in Application Support
2. Started Kodi 16.1 to generate a clean Kodi directory in Application Support
3. closed Kodi 16.1
4. Copied all database files from jenesanne34 but not Addons27.db
5. Started Kodi 17.1
6. Nothing bad happend - Addons27.db was created and worked
7. Started Kodi 17.1 a dozens of times - no crash.

So the databases might only be a part of this annoying behavior. No idea how to further investigate.

Someone who has this issue would have to provide me the complete Kodi folder from Application Support before(!!!!!) applying the workaround here.
