Mdrodge Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I'm stuck in a loop I load kodi and it says Emby for Kodi Kodi will now restart to apply a small patch for your kodi version Then it exits Open it again and it's the same. Kodi is 17.6 i think (up to date) Emby is up to date (i don't think it's beta but can't remember %100) I have a backup but i think as soon as i deploy the backup it will catch this update and break.

Angelblue05 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 (edited) I've bumped the patch a few times to fix things. To test, addon settings > advanced > check for updates. Does it post the message again? Note I just posted an addon update to fix playback progress, so you should check for that too.

I can't see the Check for Update option, only a black bar with no text (I'm on Titan skin) between "Generate a new device ID" and "Find more info..." but if I select it and press enter there after a few seconds the message "A patch..." appears again and then "No updates availables" I'm on 3.1.08a. Restarted Kodi but the message still there. Edited September 9, 2018 by Fernando 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nilsman Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I've got this on my Shield Android TV. First time I got the message Kodi froze. Had to unplug the Shield to get it started again. Now I get the message "Kodi will now restart to apply a small patch for your kodi version." every time I start Kodi. The only option is OK which obviously closes Kodi. The message appears again directly after starting Kodi so I cannot access anything or even disable the Emby plugin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Thanks for reporting your issue. I thought I had resolved this. Can you provide your Kodi log so I can see why this is not working? Thank you. Another user had that issue, as if Kodi couldn't see the cache folder. When they reinstalled Kodi it was then working fine. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/17599-how-to-report-a-problem/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I fixed the loop just now by adding an additional verification. Hopefully that never happens again, that will allow you to move beyond that constant restart. But that won't fix your issue because it will not work with your Kodi version. I will post the build right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markdj Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Managed to fix it by quickly disabling Emby upon reboot, then upgrading again. Not what I wanted but beats having to reinstall the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
