如何修复 Kodi 更新失败错误(How to Fix Kodi Update Failed Error)
Kodi是流行的流媒体软件(streaming software)之一，可以观看各种视频、电视节目、电影等。通常，Kodi会在后台更新附加组件，以免引起注意。如果有新的更新可用，那么Kodi将安装最新版本并将其替换为旧版本。但有时，更新过程可能会失败。如果发生这种情况，您将收到一条错误消息(error message)。
以下是(Below)Kodi 更新(Kodi update)失败错误的一些原因。
- 最新版本与旧版本不兼容
- (File structure)存储库修改的文件结构
- 使用插件修改的版本号
- 新更新文件的位置部分更改
- Kodi 损坏的数据库
- 过时的 Kodi 版本
方法一：修改存储库源(Method 1: Modify Repository Source)
当加载项更新失败时，您将收到更新失败错误。要修复此错误，您首先需要找到有问题的存储库，了解该存储库是否处于活动状态，然后手动更新它。
第 1 步：搜索有问题的存储库(Step 1: Search for Problematic Repository)
按照说明了解有问题的存储库。
1. 启动Kodi应用程序。
2. 单击左侧窗格中的加载项(Add-ons)。

4. 然后，点击插件的类型(type of add-on)。在这里，我们选择Video add-ons。
注意：(Note:)如果有问题的插件是音乐插件(music add-on)，请选择音乐(Music)插件。

-
如果存储库已关闭，则您必须从 Kodi 中删除该存储库(If the repository is shut down, then you have to remove that repository from Kodi)。删除后，您将不会收到任何附加组件的更新，并且您也不会收到任何错误通知(error notification)。
如果存储库移动到新位置，请按照以下步骤更新Kodi中的位置。
1. 点击齿轮图标(gear icon)进入Kodi 设置(Kodi Settings)。
2. 然后，点击文件管理器(File Manager)。
3. 右键单击存储库(repository)并选择您面临更新错误的编辑源。(Edit Source )
