Freeze when startup window = TV - kdre - 2016-06-04
Dear all,
I have the following problem, which is exactly the same than the problem posted in [1] on osmc, so I think it is a general kodi issue and not distribution specific.
I am using LibreElec 7.0.1 on a rpi3. And an rpi2 is running tvheadend.
The rpi3 acts as a media center for my parents. Because they are not the youngest anymore I want that it boots straight into live TV (and not into the home screen).
I installed the tvheadend pvr addon (only this, no other addons) and configured everything. If it boots straight to the home screen and I manually switch to TV everything works as expected.
However, as soon as I configure the default startup screen to TV (ID 10615 according to [2], which is what is also written in guisettings.xml ), then after a reboot I get a box saying "No PVR clients have been started yet. Wait for the PVR clients to start up…" and kodi freezes. Nothing happens anymore, even after waiting a couple of minutes. I can still ssh into the media center.
Is there a solution for this problem?
Thank you!

Yes, this is reproducible with latest LibreELEC master + Estuary.

Kodi doesn't seem to be frozen, it's just that the GUI hasn't been rendered - if you click on your remote you should hear the GUI sounds.
I've opened a ticket on trac, http://trac.kodi.tv/ticket/16754
To restore a working system, shutdown/kill Kodi and edit guisettings.xml setting startupwindow as follows:
Code:
<startupwindow default="true">10000</startupwindow>RE: Freeze when startup window = TV - Milhouse - 2016-06-05
This will soon be fixed in Kodi master (Kodi 17): https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/9914
It's not likely to be fixed in Kodi 16.x, unless your distribution of choice decides to back port it.

Thank you, Milhouse for your support and updates.
Will try your LibreELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi (Kodi 17.0)!
