I just updated Kodi today to the last version, and it crashes upon launch.
I get the following message:
Code:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::regex_error'
what(): regex_error
Aborted (core dumped)
Any ideas? Thanks!
It's apparently a common problem. Was reading on another thread. I think they said Kodi would rush out an update for it.

Known, identified and will be fixed with 17.3
If you need something working faster: Upgrade your oldish linux version to a version having a decent gcc compilert (> 5) and reinstall whatever kodi version you get via the ppa, make sure to reinstall kodi so that the proper packages are installed.
@OP - You should probably edit the title of your post since 17.3 is not yet out... I am assuming you meant 17.2?

I can wait. The Mint upgrade process is far from easy. It essentially mandates a full system backup, clean install, and data restore.
Being a software engineer makes it twice as bad because software dependencies and libraries are so fragile and react inexplicably to change -- I prefer not to change anything I don't have to.
Not sure why Mint hasn't looked into a more intuitive upgrade process (like Ubuntu), but it is what it is.
Thanks for the help.
Update has fixed my issue.
Thanks for the work guys. Great job!
