Hi there ... have been using Kodi for quite some time now and all was well .... but since yesterday Kodi keeps crashing. I have reinstalled a couple of times and still get the same problems. The crash message indicates that the problem is with a PVR add on (I think?) Below is part of the crash report indicating the thread that has the issue. However, if I have uninstalled and reinstalled ... why would it keep crashing with the same issue ... ?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

i gurss you don't even use pvr. You need to delete guisettings.xml.

open a terminal and type

Code:

rm Library/Application\ Support/Kodi/userdata/guisettings.xml

Why would this cause the entire program to crash?

And what do you mean by "open terminal"? In Windows I know exactly what to do ... but I am new to Mac ....

Thanks.

Terminal is an app in the Applications folder.

But you can also access guisettings.xml in the GUI : Finder > Go to > [press Alt, it will display the entry "Library" in the menu] > Library > Application Support > Kodi > userdata

Because those are addons made by third party developers and they might not be hardend enought to behave when activated without proper configuration/backend. How am i supposed to know why something crashs? ^^

Ok the steps to remove problems pvr's and inbuilt addons from inside the OSX Kodi.app....

1. Using OSX Finder app> Applications Folder > Kodi.app > right click > Show Package Contents
2. Contents > Resources > Kodi > Addons > Move to Trash any problem pvr's etc
3. Restart Kodi.app
4. If succesful > Empty Trash

wrxtasy - while i really appreciate your endless hours of support you are doing here - please don't only recommend those hardcore hammer methods. At one point the user might wanna use pvr addons and your suggestions just alters our app bundle with a big fat hammer. Deleting the guisettings.xml (not the whole user folder btw) resets/disables those addons aswell and should be enough to do.

Howdy folks. I had and loved xbmc when i had it. Had to load new os and lost it. I can dl kodi's latest 14.2, but after it launches or tries to launch it shuts down. I posted the log on pastebin, http://pastebin.com/Xf04918G. So if anyone can help please do so, having withdrawals here.

open terminal.app
enter

Code:

rm Library/Application\ Support/Kodi/userdata/guisettings.xml

and don't enable pvr addons without knowing how to set pvr up in the first place

[desitech1]

Hope that works. Have no clue what you're talking of cuz me no speak code. All i did was download n install n launch. When i get back on mac I'll try that code. Total noob here. N last install wasn't done by me. Have no idea how he set it up. Fingers crossed

[desitech1]
