With all the issues posted (many VERY vaguely) it is sometimes easy to lose sight of the fact that for the majority of people, the Kodi 17 upgrade worked fine.
My Setup:
- 3 x Windows 10 x64 machines (Intel NUC D54250WYK (4th Gen), ASRock ION 3D with Intel Atom D525 Dual Core Processor, and a home build PC Intel Core i7-3770K/nVidia GTX 660 Ti) with Kodi 16.1 installed.
- Logitech Harmony 650 remotes
- 1 x Windows Server 2012 R2 file server with all of my movies/music (~1600 movies, 155 TV Shows/~6000 episodes, ~1500 albums/~14,000 songs)
- 1 x MySQL database server (5.6.35) running on Windows Server 2012 R2 (MyVideos99 DB ~34MB , MyMusic56 DB ~29MB)
I installed Kodi 17 RC1 on each machine into a temp directory and ran in portable mode to check video drivers, addons, etc. and to start getting a feel for Estuary, having used Confluence for the last few years.
Yesterday, I upgraded.
- Turned on all 3 machines and copied the Kodi 17 install file locally.
- On my main/fastest machine, I enabled Debug logging so that if I encountered any problems during the upgrade, I had a useful log ready for troubleshooting or posting here if I needed help.
- On my main/fastest machine, installed Kodi 17.1 over the top of Kodi 16.1, and then ran Kodi and let it upgrade my databases on the MySQL server. The whole DB upgrade process took about 7 mins.
- After verifying everything was fine on first PC, then upgraded remaining machines
Kodi 17.1 all working fine today.
Now I just have to deal with Estuary..
