8.1 Kodi 17.3 Green screen - WhiteRabbit215 - 2017-06-15

I updated Kodi today to 17.3, I'm on windows 8.1 and not all I can see is a green screen for everything I try to view. The sound is there but despite the other advice I've taking through various websites and clearing my cache along with browser history and disk space, I still can't get a picture. Anyone have a solution?

Hello WhiteRabbit215 and welcome,

You will need to provide more information. Here is a guide on what to provide. https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=42708&pid=1707470#pid1707470

We will also need the Debug Log.

We also need the Debug log. Instructions are in that same link.

Also advise which add-ons are not available and we can check our repository to ensure they are current.

Return to the link provided by Karellen: you missed step 7 (maybe the most important one...)


RE: 8.1 Kodi 17.3 Green screen - Gobberwart - 2017-06-19

Your initial post said you were getting a green screen trying to view things, but the detailed info says addons aren't available. Which is it?
