[Coto]

Hello, so I've got a Raspberry Pi 3, I installed OpenElec Kodi XBMC, all worked fine. Then added this Skin called "Amber". It looked cool, but as soon as I restarted it, the whole screen just went black, whenever I tried to start it up again. The mouse is visible, however no video, just black screen (with mouse), and sounds (on clicks etc.).

Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Bump - This is urgent. Anyone able to help me out?

How long did you wait?

I've found that if the skin is updating itself then the screen on my Pi tends to go black, but if you give it a little while to finish what it's doing then it sorts itself out and everything comes back again as it should.

I would suggest two options

1, rebuild the system from scratch, it could be corruption of the data causing the issue.
2, if you ssh into the Pi, edit ~/.kodi/userdata/guisettings.xml, find the line
<skin>skin.amber</skin>
and change it to
<skin>skin.confluence</skin>
and reboot then you should at least get back to a previously working skin.

Please let me know how you get on.
