Kodi was workoing well without pvr.
just enabled nextpvr and that did not cause any apparent problem.
next step was to enable live tv.
that caused kodi to freeze with no cpu and no change in memory use (per task manager)
Killed kodi task and restarted kodi. On startup kodi freezes showing the blue bubble background (about 52mb memeory use).
Killed kodi task and retarted win7. Restart kodi, still freezes at same point apparently.
reinstalled kodi 12
restart kodi, still freezes at same point (apparently)
i have nextpvr installed and it seems fine, but since I have no tuner I can't be certain.
i only plan to use it with kodi.
Searched for solution without success.
Thanks in advance for any help. ;^)

Why have you installed nextPVR addon if you don't have a backend tuner?

As a newbie I can't say I am certain. I thought it could be used to record from Kodi sources.

Wait - no tuner? NextPVR will be of no use to you if you don't have a tuner. It's for watching/recording live tv from a TV tuner. You can't do that without a tuner.

sub3, my error. First I should have typed Kodi 15.2.
Second, I thought a pvr could be used to record from kodi sources.
Regardless, I still need to know how to resolve this frozen kodi problem.
Edit- OK, edited the guisettings.xml file to disable tv pvr and kodi is working again..

Sub3, don't you think a well behaved nextPVR addon should at least not cause a system freeze if no tuner is configured?

Hi sub3,
First, apologies for misunderstanding functionality of nextpvr.
As for the startup problem
I couldn't get Kodi to boot up until I edited the guisettings.xml and changed
<pvrmanager>
...
<enabled>true</enabled>
to
<pvrmanager>
...
<enabled>false</enabled>
Then I could use kodi again with no apparent problem.
I will upload a log, but could you tell me how to find and/or generate it, please?
I can see some files named similar to:
xbmc_crashlog-15.2 Git_20151019-02e7013-20160103-131802.dmp
xbmc_stacktrace-15.2 Git_20151019-02e7013-20160103-131802.txt
These are dated 3 Jan and time is just before the first post on this thread.
Thanks in advance.

I'm am not sure that this is limited to nextpvr as I have had the same issue with the HTS PVR backend, including today when I installed a newer version of it.
Typically the fix for me is to disable PVR support, then once in Kodi configure the HTS plugin and enable the PVR support.
