Kodi 16.0 (Jarvis) officially released
- Thread starter Nigelar
- Start date
Not to worry, will update one of these boxes and double check. I know it is working on some other hardware. Thanks for responding.
The sledgehammer solution would be to uninstall the old version of kodi. But you will need to reinstall your addons again if you do that.
Which site did you get your kodi 16.0 from or is it an auto update from google play? What version are you currently running? Where did you get that from?

I think you will have to uninstall the current version even if you go to google play, but by all means try that.
If you do reinstall you will need to run the wookie again although you could try backing up your current configuration to an sd card and restoring after reinstalling kodi.
Future updates should automatically update from google play over the top of the new installation i.e. you will not need to set up your addons again.
As to the source of your error, a suggestion from the official kodi forum is that your 15.2 is somehow "unofficial" (perhaps it has been customised in some way) hence the conflict. Did you buy the t8S from droidbox? This might be important information for other users trying to update.

Sometimes clear data 1st helps...but like Nigelar said Google play is good and it updates when a stable version of kodi comes out.
Thanks minkbomb.
My box had official kodi 15.2 from google play so the update for me was seamless.
Dave - is it worth alerting droidbox support to see if there are any upgrade issues installing official kodi on top of the version delivered with droidboxes?
Maybe they can run a few tests and if necessary put a note out on the forum or in the blog?
