So, PTVL was running great for me for many many months without a hitch...until.......the update. I ran PTVL and it gave me the changelog dialog and a prompt to reboot kodi or whatever after update completed. Well, I chose to reboot and Kodi immediately shot out runtime errors and crashed! Ok. So I got back into PTVL again and it takes forever to initiate. I actually thought something went haywire with the update and spammed PTVL trying to initiate it. That was not a good idea as it kept telling me that an instance of PTVL was running but I was seeing nothing. I disabled, unistalled, reinstalled, cleared cache,messed with settings etc,. and each time PTVL now hangs on "please wait". Don't know if 0.5b is broken.

is this PTVL fault? Did you review your log? all the errors are from other plugins, not PTVL... from what I see PTVL starts up correctly.
Try uninstalling all the questionable plugins you have installed.

You are also running Helix on windows... which imo is the worst build of XBMC i've ever seen! Unstable nightmare!!
Try one of the windows test builds from feb 5.

Also try clearing system cache under misc ptvl settings...

Sorry, I should of uploaded the log that came right after the crash. Unfortunately I restarted PTVL immediately and it didn't work. I restarted, reinstalled, messed with settings etc. etc. Well, glad I uploaded that log which actually tells me some plugins are not going to work with PTVL. Yeah, Helix seems like a downgrade from Gotham. I have to run a special fixed build just to get it running.
