locate pulsar binary in a different directory

/home/xbian/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.pulsar/bin/linux_arm/pulsar

[steeve]

Your install is corrupted. Try reinstalling from the zip file in the releases page.

[ramonskie]

delete the addon and removed all directories related to pulsar in .xbmc/addon/ and .xbmc/userdata/ and reinstalled via repo this resulted in the same error every time

then i tried to install the zip from the release page and this resulted in a different error

after a compleet reboot everything works again.

but it seems that the 0.4.2 version that is in the pulsar official repo is corrupted somehow

ramonskie, where did you download it from? I'm stuck on "restarting xbmc for pulsar daemon to start" and I'm not being able to see logs (activated debugging but can't find logs with kodi's file manager" Thanks!
