I am new here, so my apologies if I miss something or post incorrectly.
I have an android tv box and installed Kodi. It worked fine with recent helix builds.
The problem is it will not play files already downloaded ( I did not test streaming yet). It worked correctly in build
kodi-20141103-56df30a-master-armeabi-v7a.apk 04-Nov-2014 06:21
I don't think I tested this build to see if it worked or not: kodi-20141103-d6947be-master-armeabi-v7a.apk 03-Nov-2014 19:24
This build did not work: kodi-20141104-15aac56-master-armeabi-v7a.apk
I uploaded the log file (sorry I did not receive a link in my email,) but the log ID is 348229
DEBUG: Loading: libamplayer.so
19:54:01 T:2085486680 ERROR: Unable to load libamplayer.so, reason: (null)
19:54:01 T:2085486680 DEBUG: Dll libamplayer.so was not found in path

Any suggestions?
Thanks
EDIT: Resolved in a newer build. Thanks Koying
I'm having exactly the same problem. I tried the past few nightlies and all of them returns the error "unfortunately kodi has stopped" whenever I play a movie file. In the debug log it shows:

00:49:31 T:1332878840 ERROR: Unable to load libamplayer.so, reason: (null)
00:49:31 T:1332878840 DEBUG: Dll libamplayer.so was not found in path

I'm using Himedia Q5III Android box running kodi-20141110-2e41dde-master-armeabi-v7a.apk.
I am having a similar problem. I get the "Unfortunately, Kodi has stopped" message when I try to stream contents. However, I am having the same issue with older version of Kodi / XBMC. I am running Android 4.3 on x86 processor.

Any help would be appreciated.
Should be solved in latest nightly.

Yes, confirmed problem solved in latest nightly. Thanks!
I have a HP Touchpad Runing Cyanogen Mod 10.1. It has run xbmc 12.x 13.x and Helix alpha builds fine.

Builds after the 31/10/2014 (Helix Alpha) do not play any video files and crash out back to android. 31/10/2014 build works fine and plays all video and content. Any newer build installs fine, but whenever I select video content of any type kodi exits back to android. Removing the build and all data. Then re-installing Helix Alpha build works again for vieo content.

I will upload a log file asap.

Cheers

Did you try to install the latest nightly build?

Yes tried beta 2 last night. And beta 1 before that and 06/11 build before that. 31/10 build works fine. I have done fresh installs after clearing all data and installing from scratch. No video playback, just exit from Kodi to Android.

I will try latest nightly tonight.

Ok so tried the latest build 13/11, The problem is partially sorted.

It plays videos and TV shows but will not play any recorded tv from the pvr.mythtv client. All of the recordings play fine on all other devices (Rpi, Ubuntu Etc.) somtimes it will stop at 8 secs before it has switched into full screen and other times it will just exit back to android, seemingly the same symptoms as previous builds on all videos but just on recorded mythtv or any liveTV from Mythtv backend. Client settings all seem fine and the mthtv client gets all backend info. Just wont play anything.
