My Kodi application automatically updated to v20 last night. It crashed the first time it loaded, but loaded the second time. However, it no longer recognizes any of my media files (all AVI, MKV, MP4). I can browse all the folders (e.g. my TV shows, and each season, and subfolders I have to organize my movies) through Library but no media files show up. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling--still no files show up. Any ideas on how to fix this?
TL;DR: I'm considering buying a second rear shock (coil) for my 130mm travel trail bike and need some recommendations.
Needs to be available as standard mount 7.875x2.0 (200x51).
I've currently been looking at:
I'm leaning towards the Ohlins however I've heard some mixed reviews. I'm not too worried about being unable to have it serviced locally as I'll still have my other shock and don't mind it having fewer adjustments (actually a positive to me).
Any opinions on those three or other recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Some background:
Currently running the stock RockShox Monarch RCT3 on my Intense Primer (140/130) which is fine for
I over-torqued my headset about a week ago and took it since to the bike shop. They checked the bearings, etc. and said it was fine. However, over the past few days my headset cap has become increasingly "damaged" as shown in the picture https://imgur.com/a/FiE0fFq. Is this safe to ride and even if so should I get a new one ASAP? I also think it's the source of a rattling noise.
EDIT: Got a new cap for the time being and everything seems to be in order

I was following Park Tool's video on rear derailleur adjustment (https://youtu.be/UkZxPIZ1ngY) since my derailleur was completely out of whack, and ran into some issues.
I followed the video exactly and did the high limit screw first, and that worked well, then did the indexing which went surprisingly well, however then I ran into an issue. By the time I was done indexing my barrel adjuster was screwed on almost as far as it could go. When I went to deal with the low limit adjustment, I turned it two quarter turns one at a time as they showed in the video, however when I tried to then shift up to the largest cog, my shift paddles wouldn't budge (in either direction). I loosened the barrel a
I'm considering building a kicker ramp during this coming week with all of the time I have and am wondering if OSB is fine for the surface and sides as opposed to regular plywood. I can get OSB from a local store for less than half the price of regular plywood so if it's viable I'd rather go that route.
For context I'll probably use the ramp over the next month or two at the park in relatively dry weather and probably will end up just taking it apart after that as I'll be moving and can't take it with me
(Also posted on r/bikewrench but thought someone here might have had specific issues with this tire or a similar setup.)
I've put on many tires before (trail side and in my garage) but never had this issue with my old bike.
Bike shop had no problem getting it off and on again but now I can't for the life of me get this tire on. I can get it to the point shown in the image below but no further. I've tried using tire levers but whenever I try to get a little bit of the tire on, about the same amount slips off from the opposite end. I've watched the relevant GMBN, EMBN, and ParkTool videos and been using their technique with the tire levers.

There is one trail in particular at my local trail system that has become an erosion nightmare over the past few years. Most of the trails are notable for being some of the only ones in the area that dry quickly after wet weather, however this one is a bit of an outlier and especially early in the season gets deep ruts that remain permanently. Not only that, but a lot of the trails in recent years have gotten quite dumbed down, with lots of optional lines to avoid more difficult sections and significant widening of climbs and descents to avoid roots, rocks, etc. (i.e. what was singletrack some years ago is now double track).
I was hoping to spend some of my free time this spring trying to r
I bought a new MTB about a month ago and it came with Mavic XA Lite carbon rims. I asked the bike shop to set it up tubeless, but by the time I had brought it home the tires were already deflated. I pumped them up again that night and they deflated in about an hour. Flash forward to today, I decided to take a look and figured out that the air is leaking right out of the point where the valve stem meets the rim and this rubber ring doesn't actually go all the way down to the rim, and it looks like it's because the hole is drilled offset to the center of the rim. Is this probably a faulty rim and is there a good I can fix it, or should I take it back? The tire is sealed all the way arou

I recently bought a new bike and the shop set it up tubeless. The sealant (Orange Seal) says a minimum of about -10°C. When it gets lower than that, does it just not seal properly or will the sealant freeze and/or potentially cause significant issues? I'm currently storing the bike in my garage at around -5°C but it's going down to below -25°C over the weekend and couldn't find anything in particular about this on the Orange Seal website or the bottle. Thanks.
EDIT: Just to clarify as two people now have commented about it: I'm not winter riding and I'm not changing my sealant. Just wanted to know whether it's fine to store my bike with sealant in the tires somewhere it's very cold
I'm currently on bit of a MTB protection kick with my Christmas money and have been considering getting some wrist braces while I'm at it. I mostly in the past have ridden a mix of flowy and rough XC-type trails, however I'm starting to get into some more enduro and lift-access DH riding and want to try to mitigate the damages in the event of a crash, as well as just take some of the strain off from the generally rough riding I'm doing (I'll be riding predominately rough tech trails, on a mid-travel FS trail bike). In the past, most of my injuries have come from going OTB and my wrists are stiff and sore for multiple weeks afterwards due to the impact. I have generally bad wrists and spend m
Currently I'm in sequence 4 for CS and finishing off my first work term as a full stack software developer. Back in November my supervisor and I discussed me coming back for my following co-op term in the spring to work on a large project for the company. I received my return offer today and although the pay is slightly above average for a 2nd work term in the math faculty, it isn't by much (just over $1/hr over average).
I'm not sure though how to ask for a higher pay or even if I should.
I have a really good relationship with my supervisor and the dev team I'm on and don't want to harm that and my supervisor said, when he went over the offer with me, that he made an effort to get me abov
