Debug Log: http://pastebin.com/VEa4sTF7

Hey all...I've had a strange problem recently. I'm running Kodi on a FireTV (not the stick) and it's been working perfectly fine for a really long time. On Sunday, I upgraded my Intel Ion box from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04, and during the upgrade, I had to re-add the PPA. After doing that, it also upgraded/updated Kodi for some reason....

I also updated my headless server, which does many things, one of them is a MySQL database for Kodi. Same thing there; 14.04 to 16.04. This box, however, doesn't run Kodi and just runs MySQL (and mythbackend).

I didn't touch the FireTV or upgrade anything on it at all. Same everything. When I started Kodi on the FireTV, it would just go back to the app screen. I totally uninstalled it and reinstalled it and the same thing. It seems like when I blew the configs away and started it, Kodi starts OK. Once I put the configs back, problems start occurring.

I'm attaching the debug log...but what happens is that I start Kodi up, it goes to the Kodi main screen (that one with "Kodi" displayed on it), and then it flips over to the bubbles in Confluence. No menu or text gets displayed on the screen. After about a minute, it will go back to the FireTV Home Screen.

I also ended up dropping the Kodi-related databases in MySQL in hopes that maybe that would fix it, but it didn't.

Any help or assistance is appreciated!

Have you tried SPMC?

Yes....and I think the same thing happened.

I do find it interesting that in the mysql server error.log, I see this...

2016-08-30T16:05:06.339417Z 2807 [Note] Aborted connection 2807 to db: 'MyVideos99' user: 'xbmc' host: 'firetv.foo.bar' (Got an error reading communication packets)

Yup, same exact issue but SPMC doesn't exit out like Kodi does...

The initial connection to the db seem fine.
Did you try http://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/1...on-packets

Thanks for the responses. I didn't try that stackexchange link, but I know my number was relatively low compared to what they cranked it up to.

I really think my original mysql installation is b0rked. Don't know why, don't know what happened, but I think something isn't right with it. I have myth running on it too, which works fine...but kodi has issues.

I stood up another virtual machine with just a minimal install of ubuntu 16.04 and just installed mysql. I pointed both kodi installations to it and they seem to be working just fine. So, I think that there was something wrong with MySQL that I can't seem to figure out.
