a bit more trouble than i'm willing to deal with.

And yet you took the trouble to register and join here to post that and enlighten us?

Having had constant messages on my Raspberry Pi and on thwe computer prior to thedownload farce you would have thought that Kodi would be putting out some sort of remedy or advice but they seem just oblivious.

Post a Debug log (wiki) at https://pastebin.com/ and the link back here.
kodi.log is located at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\XBMCFoundation.Kodi_4n2hpmxwrvr6p\LocalCache\Roaming\Kod​i.

Rechi used your path several times and still the offending data will delete but always restores itself.
Just add up the variations in the number of paths recommened as being the solution.

Yes, it will always restore itself. This "fix" is really just a workaround. The apparent problem is that the database from Kodi 16, Addons26.db isn't correctly updated to the Kodi 17 version, Addons27.db, resulting in a 0 byte file. For many users, deleting addons27.db results in Kodi 17 correctly updating addon26.db on the next restart. It appears in some cases that isn't happening. Until a dev can reproduce this, or a user can provide a debug log generated with the advancedsettings.xml file (since users can't access the Kodi 17 UI) there won't be any progress on this.

My suggestion is that if deleting addons27.db and starting Kodi 17 doesn't work, go back into your userdata and rename the addons26.db to something like addons26.dbold (this assumes you are updating a working Kodi 16 install to Kodi 17). Also delete the addons27.db file. Now restart Kodi 17 and see if this works. If it does, you will probably have to go into the "addon browser" in the UI and enable your addons (they will be marked as "disabled" but are still installed).

If you decide to go back to Kodi 16, just rename addons26.dbold back to addons26.db and then reinstall Kodi 16.

An alternative is to install Kodi 17 in a folder you create during installation and run it in "portable mode". In this mode Kodi creates all your userdata settings in its own folder, and doesn't user the %appdata% that gives grief for so many users unfamiliar with Windows application installs. You can selectively migrate any or all your settings from an existing Kodi install once you get Kodi 17 running by copying files to the portable mode version.

%appdata%\Kodi\userdata\database have tried this several times but the addons27.db will delete but restores every time Kodi is opened. How many times do I have to do it. So take your arrogance somewhere else.

I told you not to keep repeating this as it is clearly not the fix for the specific problem you are having.

I also asked you to provide more detail about the error you are experiencing and asked you to provide a debug log. Others, including Rechi and Scott, have asked for much the same.

None of which you have done, instead choosing to just keep repeating yourself and saying how hard it all is.

I think my arrogance is entirely justified.

For those with Windows 8, it's C:Users\(user)\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\Database\Addons27.db. Hope this helps those with Windows 8

Hi guys.
I have the same problem with Kodi 17.1 Krypton, and addons27.db is not the problem. I have win7 32bit, and it's an older computer, but I think this might not have much to do with this issue, since I tried installing 17.1 Krypton on my newer laptop with win10, and it won't launch as well.
I did this
[quote='scott967' pid='2563627' dateline='1491421567' Can you use the notepad app to create a text file? If so create a file with this:

Code:

<advancedsettings>
    <loglevel hide="false">2</loglevel>
</advancedsettings>

and save it with file name advancedsettings.xml in folder %APPDATA%\Roaming\Kodi\userdata
delete the file addon27.db once again and run Kodi. Then retrieve the new file "kodi.log" from %APPDATA%\Roaming\Kodi open it in notepad and copy all the text then paste it into the site "pastebin.com" and after saving there copy the link for your paste and post it here.

Sorry

No help as your Kodi is contaminated with banned addons and repository

"I think my arrogance is entirely justified" says Gobberwart, what a damning indictment that is.

wasn't me who installed it deleted everything, made a clean install. same thing happens. am I eligible for help now? here's the log https://pastebin.com/XQ4WK9C4

1) Do not get rid of Kodi 16.1 Jarvis

2) reference to banned add-on (wiki) removed - DarrenHill.

3) Download Kodi 17.1

4) Install Kodi 17.1 choosing the option to overwrite previous Kodi downloads.

It is simple and it works. Yes, you have to reload all your addons but it is always good to refresh or overhaul any system.

Let me know how you get on.

[DarrenHill]

Do not refer people to banned add-ons (wiki).

This particular one is entirely unnecessary, as simply deleting or renaming the kodi folder under %appdata% (for a normal install) or %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\XBMCFoundation.Kodi_4n2hpmxwrvr6p\LocalCache\Roaming (for a Windows Store install) will have exactly the same effect and does not require anything from Kodi (especially given the other nasties that that particular repo contains).

@breightmet basically the same, won't open and addons27.db is not the problem. here's the kodi.log https://pastebin.com/XQ4WK9C4

This is a log but debug is not enabled. If you don't have a Kodi GUI just enable debug with advancedsettings.xml. http://kodi.wiki/view/Log_file/Advanced
