I have just updated from Kodi 15.2 to DBMC 16.0. Now when I attempt to access DBMC via the "XBMC" menu on the droidbox home screen there is no response. I assume the shortcut is attempting to point to "kodi" which is no longer there. How can I configure this button to point to DBMC? I installed DBMC as this was the recommended install, but should I instead install Kodi?
T8-S home page "XBMC" menu button

There is away you can do it, but it's very complicated.
You can make it into a short cut on the side, there is a thread on this forum which might help. I'll have a look see if I can find it.

Hi Jon the home tiles cannot be configured I don't think so the only option to start up dbmc 16 would be from the apps menu, you could always leave that installed and re-install Kodi 15.2 then have 2 different setups. Maybe wrong tho asI have the T8-s plus with 3 different builds installed openelec 15.2, Kodi 16 and spmc.

The XBMC media centre on Home screen is linked to the Kodi and after uninstalling Kodi it will not respond if you will click on it.
If you have installed DBMC 16 then you can Add it to your fav section of the Home screen by clicking on +/- sign and then tick check DBMC 16, after that go back to the Home screen and you will find DBMC 16 in fav section of the Home screen.

It will probably be fixed when the next firmware update occurs for the t8s that formally includes Kodi 16. In the meantime here is the solution I use for a similar problem that occurred on the Kodi 15 update. I now use this as my default home page regardless of whether the xbmc tile becomes operable.

Thanks for the replies. I have already added DBMC to the favourites so I am operational. Unfortunately I'm a bit OCD so I can't have a dud button on the screen!! I'll just have to reinstall the standard Kodi I think. Again thanks for the help.
Thanks Nigelar. That sounds perfect. I'll try that when I get back from work later on. Cheers.
