Problems after Kodi Update (20.4 to 20.5) (Playback not possible)

[Vodalex 2]

Hello! I am using CoreELEC with the Emby next gen addon and with Emby server installed on separate Hardware (Odroid M1)

After updating CoreELEC to version 20.5 I can see the movies with the progress bar but no cover anymore. but when I try to play them the system says it cannot start the playback.

How can I fix it without reinstalling Kodi completely?

Sincerely yours, Alexander

I need a kodi.log for review.

Thank you for your answer!

Can you tell me how to grab it over SMB? I found a folder Logfiles and copied the log file from there. Is it of any use?

Did you try a factory reset?

This log looks clean to me, but yes try a factory reset. Obviously something is wrong in your setup. I hope you didn't try a KODI beta upgrade, and rolled back to KODI stable.

This will mess up your config and even a factory reset will not fix the issue.

This is exactly what I did. Had a beta and now on 20.5 stable. Time to full reset of kodi! Thank you for this advice! Now I know why it is not working anymore!

You need to stop Kodi, delete ...../userdata/Database/MyMusic*, ...../userdata/Database/MyVideo*, ...../userdata/Database/Textures*, ...../userdata/Database/Epg*, ...../userdata/Database/emby_* manually.

KEEP AddonsXX.db and ViewModesXX.db

Then start Kodi and perform a sync.

Thank you! This was the solution! I performed the steps and it fixed the problems. Now I see all the movies and can play them. Have a nice evening and thank you for your help!
