Hello chaps. Have used and setup countless M8 boxes over last 6 months with various different configurations. Ever since Kodi 14 I have some boxes that crash and the Kodi app seems to either not open at all or returns to 'First time use setup' and the app itself has suddenly gone from an average of 400MB in size to over 5GB in size (after the crash). The massive file size then makes the box unstable and the only way to fix it it os flash it.
It doesn't seem to happen on every box, but has become more and more common.
I am in contact with manufacturer (awaiting response) to find out of this is a known problem, just wanted to see if anyone else has witnesses this strange problem and if there is any known work-around.
Have managed to replicate crash using Kodi 14 / 14.1 and 14.2
One last thing, the boxes come installed with Super User, however there is no log activity in SU, I cannot see of the Kodi has been granted root access or not. It was my understanding that Kodi does require root access - early M8 boxes with XBMC had some audio sync issues, was told by manufacturer it was because the box was not rooted.
Any help please?
