"working..." forever

[4ktvfan]

Upon boot, I get "working..." in the lower right-hand corner of the screen and am told that means I need to reload Kodi. (I happen to be using OpenElec.) Does this happen often?

And if I have to reload the entire SD card, is there a way I can find (maybe using a PC?) the live tv URL's I've gathered over time? I am an idiot for not backing up the SD card frequently but it's on an RPi-2, so -what could go wrong?- yeah, yeah, I know. Anyway, is there a way to get those URL's via a file search from the PC Winblows or Linux box? I have both, besides the RPi.

Thanks.

When Kodi is loading you see the working message? Does it eventually load? If it never loads, you will most likely need to reinstall it. Something is most likely corrupted.

I'm not sure how and where you were using the urls? Were they m3u files that you were using in Kodi?

[4ktvfan]

yes, the m3u file url's.

You could do an intial search for m3u on the SD card to see what turns up. If Kodi stored the addresses, they were most likely stored in a text-based xml file. Your search might turn up the addresses.

[4ktvfan]

that would be very convenient.

All your user info should be in 1 of many settings.xml files, that are in the directories under plugins or addon data.
For OpenELEC the directory is -> /storage/.kodi/userdata/
