Updating Kodi from 14.2 to 16.2 on RBP 2

[DiscoSuperFly]

Hi there!

Last year I used the HTPC Installer to create a Raspberry Pi 2 mediacentre. I was wondering if I could somehow update my Kodi version from 14.2 to 16.2. How would I go about this? Can I SSH into my Pi and just run some updates? I've checked in Kodi itself but there doesn't seem to be an option that allows me to update.

Thanks in Advance!

Hi, the Installer relies on a repository to be updated with the latest version of Kodi. If the repository has been updated then this should get you the latest version

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Or

Code:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Let us know how it goes

Thx for the reply! I found the code sudo apt-get dist-upgrade on the forum already and ran it. This updated me from version 14.2 to 15.2 (as displayed in the system info tab in Kodi). 

When running sudo apt-get update I get these errors at the end:

Code:

W: GPG error: http://debian.yeasoft.net wheezy InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 40FC0CD26BF18B15[/align]

When I run sudo apt-get upgrade I get these errors:

Code:

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

When I run Sudo apt-get dist-upgrade I get no errors and it doesn't really update anything:

Code:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Could you please elaborate on what is happening?

Thx in advance!

Your sources file is malformed, the btsync repo is http://debian.yeasoft.net/btsync/dists/wheezy/ 

I don't use rpi-monitor but it looks like the GPG key isn't there or it needs to be redownloaded.

For Kodi try changing wheezy to jessie in this file 

Code:

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/mene.list

Then sudo apt-get update and dist-upgrade again

Thanks for the quick reply!

I entered the code above and got this as a result:

Code:

root@raspberrypi:~# /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mene.list

-bash: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mene.list: Permission denied

How do I go about this and get me some persmission?

Cheers,

The magical sudo command meaning super user do, you can put it in front of any command and you will usually get the permission required.

Code:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mene.list

Thx. That worked. I changed the name from weezie to jessie

Code:

deb http://archive.mene.za.net/raspbian jessie contrib

Is there something I have todo with the new URL u posted? Because when I run the commands again I get the same errors.  

Thanks for helping!

Those other errors shouldn't affect any Kodi upgrade, they are just warnings that things won't be downloaded from those repositories.

You will need to edit the repository files or remove them. The main repository list is in this file

Code:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Custom repository files are in here so you can edit them with nano and make any adjustments you need to

Code:

cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

If you want to go to Kodi 16.1, http://pipplware.pplware.pt/ has a repo for it. I had it installed but for me I had the problem that it froze my library a couple times but a lot of people doesn't seem to have problems with it. To install it (only Jessie):

Code:

echo "deb http://pipplware.pplware.pt/pipplware/dists/jessie/main/binary /" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mene.list

Code:

wget -O - http://pipplware.pplware.pt/pipplware/key.asc | sudo apt-key add -

Code:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

And now you should have Kodi 16.1

b]Yveske - [/b]I - - [/b]I - [/b]I followed your advice above and upgraded to Kodi 16.1 - it seems to be working ok, but if I reboot - it does not start up automatically - I need to go through Putty and start Kodi. Do you have any idea on how to get it to start automatically once I reboot? 

Thank you
