Problem - All Repositories Empty
#1
Hi Guys,

Very recently my Atv2 xbmc has run into problems. The addon repositories are always empty. I have tried everything I can think of, such as re-adding the repositories both manually and through in installer prog, updated to the latest nightly, but nothing seems to work.

I can do a get add-ons and bring up a list of the repositories installed, but any repository I click just returns an empty list.

Anyone seen this before?

Thanks.

Can you offer any advice on where these files are located?

/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/Database

delete any files with name addon.db or similar (eg addon14.db)

Problem solved

Deleting the .db files was the trick. I could not figure why my repo's were empty for anything. I've only had my atv2 for a month in a half so I thought I was going to the wrong directories or someone had messed with something. I knew something was amiss. Thank you. now what the hell would make it do that and how can you prevent this from happening again. Or do I just have to delete the .db files again when repo's (addons) are missing? thanx again

Has anyone tried to repair permissions to see if that had any effect?
