Solved Kodi crashes upon launch
#1
So I just decided to try out the newest nightly of Kodi v18 (KodiSetup-20171113-e50522cdf2-master-x64).  I'm upgrading from v17.6, running Windows 7 x64.  Not sure if it matters, but I feel it might, I'm using an Nvidia GeForce GT 610 graphics card w/ the newest drivers from the Geforce Experience program (v388.13).  It's old, I know it sucks, but it works for what I need.  I can't afford anything better at the moment.  After the installation when I try to launch kodi, it will appear in the Task Manager for a few seconds, then the task disappears.  I went through the advancedsettings.xml file and added in debug logging with all verbose components enabled as described in the wiki, and here's a link to my log file. kodi.log

I found a link online with some suggestions of stuff to try, I have tried renaming the userdata folder in the %appdata% directory to userdata.old, forcing kodi to create a new folder upon launch, in case something I added was causing it to crash, that didn't help, I also tried the same with the addons and cache folder as well, and I still go the same result.  Kodi crashes upon launch.  I am able to reinstall the newest release for v17.6 and that works without any issues.  I hope this is enough info to get the ball rolling on this.

Thanks in advance for any assistance. Big Grin

Son of a monkeys uncle...  Well... that build(KodiSetup-20171101-150591e802-master-x64 ) works.  Thank you for that insight, Kasugano.  Still kinda curious as to why the newest nightly doesn't work.  Anyway, not too important, the addon I wanted to use finally works now that I'm up to v18.  Now off to bed.

Is it really solved though?  The original issue is that the latest nightly build crashes upon launch.  A "proper" resolution shouldn't just be "use an older version".  Just saying...

Should I look into submitting a bug report about this issue instead?
