Even more for @DXer, if Kodi Krypton 17.1 is messed up, simply uninstall it from Android (you did install it from the Play store didn't you?). On the Shield TV, go down to Settings, then Choose Apps, find your Kodi app, and select Uninstall.

Then just go back to the Play store, and install Kodi again. make sure it opens and run correctly the first time.

If it doesn't work, then you might have to Uninstall it again. Then use the X-Plore app to delete the Kodi install from your system. Remember the location of Kodi on Android is...

/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi

So just delete the folder org.xbmc.kodi.

I've had to do this procedure a few times already when it hard-crashed on the Shield. And it means a full 8 or 9 hours to get everything back....only to see it all evaporate when I change one thing here or there. I can't pin down what I'm doing that's causing the hard crashes, which is part of the frustration here.
