device - nvidia shield android tv
i reset kodi from the android tv menu (nvidia shield - apps - kodi - delete data),
then ran kodi to give permissions, then just copied the folder org.xbmc.kodi back over the network.
after that kodi started to slow down very much. help me understand the problem. what caused this and how to solve it.
thanks.

A database being 'regenerated'..?
No. Updating takes place before Kodi's main screen is shown.
The only thing that could take time is (re)generated thumbs for movies and/or tv series and episodes.
Assuming you are not running the Kodi app from an inserted SDcard (which could start having storage problems), I see no immediate reasons for slowness.

thanks for the correction i was unaware it does it "before" the ui is shown, i just assumed it was going 119 -> 121 in the background, most things do it that way.
i'm trying to figure out the logs right now. i've never worked with them before. can you tell me what the name of the .log file should be that can help you figure it out?

you should be aware that many things are happening on a new installation, android is generating cache in the background, kodi is checking for updates + updating things, updated database may need to be regenerated for the new version
it would be best to perform several restarts of kodi allowing it to settle in a few minutes in between and at least 1 system restart before making judgements
including a debug log will also go a much longer way as nobody here can see exactly whats going on in your system without it
for example, when playing a movie, when i press the back button to open the player menu where you can select subtitles, it can take 5-10 seconds.
in this case the sound starts stuttering and video can freeze for a few seconds.
i will now try to restart the device and kodi.
the updates are fine, they are all installed.
the database is also okay.
the problem remained, although it was noticeably better.

The name itself is
kodi.log, and also
kodi.old.log, the log from the previous Kodi session.
You can also install the Kodi Logfile Uploader add-on. That's probably easier.
