5 unstable on Nvidia Shield TV - aboogerd1982 - 2017-10-24

Hi there,

Since my Nvidia shield TV updated Kodi last night to 17.5 it becomes unstable and crashed. Tried to reboot but no result.

Later today i'll try to reinstall the app.

Are there other users having the same issue with the Nvidia and Kodi v17.5?

Cheers, Alex

Apparently Kodi 17.5 has become allergic for any devices plugged in, such as FLIRC or the Nvidia remote. Can you guys confirm?

We'll probably need to revert a PR or fix it.

Will this be fix soon or do i have to downgrade to 17.4 ?

Same problems on the Q10pro ...

Install of alternative nightly builds don´t help.

Yep. All sorts of busted. Crashes immediately upon launching.

Any luck with a re-install? Should we wait for a fix? Hate to blow everything away only to have it patched within a few days.

FWIW, I'm experiencing the same as the others. After launch I see the splash screen for 17.5, then it crashes. Original Nvidia Shield TV. Nothing "connected" as such, as someone mentioned earlier, but I do use the remote with it.

Same problem for me too Sad

Shield TV 2017 with FLIRC v2
Kodi won't to lauch.

Without le FLIRC it's OK but without my Harmony Sad

Please fix this

RE: 5 unstable on Nvidia Shield TV - toredge - 2017-10-24

I was able to fix the issue by deleting the Kodi application data. This flushed the stored data and cache. After that, the application launched and ran successfully.

Of course, this also removed all previous settings and customizations. Sucks, but at least it's working again.

Get new version from
ARM http://mirrors.kodi.tv/releases/android/arm/kodi-17.5.1-Krypton-armeabi-v7a.apk
ARM64 http://mirrors.kodi.tv/releases/android/arm64-v8a/kodi-17.5.1-Krypton-arm64-v8a.apk

RE: 5 unstable on Nvidia Shield TV - hundrakg - 2017-10-24

wich one to chose, arm or arm64?
I have Shield V1 500gb abd 16gb versions.

RE: 5 unstable on Nvidia Shield TV - aboogerd1982 - 2017-10-24

For the Android users go into Android settings-> apps -> Kodi. I forced the app to kill and cleared the cache. Start the app and it worked again and no settings deleted.

Please let us know if it worked for you.

Cheers, Alex

Thanks for the advice, but sadly it did not work for me. I would very much like to not clear out all the data (or do a reinstall) as it takes forever to get the library thumbnails and stuff back in with my library.
