Ubuntu 14, 10, 64-bit
XBMC 13,2
XBMC freezes whenever I try to access the "system > settings" menu - occasionally it freezes also when I try to exit via the exit button. The only way to exit is by a hard reboot. Starting XBMC, going to the "Movies" and "System" sections, watching a movie, exiting with the exit button all works fine. But as soon as I enter System > settings, the mouse freezes. Nothing works. When I had issues with previous XBMC freezing randomly once in a while, I could always plug in a removable device and the window pops up asking what to do and that way exiting XBMC. But now even that doesn't work.
I did not have this issue with the version that came before version 14. I noticed that this started happening about two weeks ago but since I don't use XBMC that very often it's hard to say if this wasn't present when I first installed Kodi 14 many weeks ago.
Since I can't access settings, I can't activate the debug log to post here as per instructions. How can I assist you with information then?
I have googled this and apparently a lot of people have this issue with Kodi 14.
People have written that the problems have been caused by/have been solved by:
-disconnecting the internet (bad data feed caused by an add-on, was the explanation of an user)
-deleting repositories in .xbmc/usedata
-disabling addons (specifically "TVshow next aired")
I have tried all these solutions but with no luck.
