Hello

I'm new to using Kodi

I had installed Xbmc 12.3 and everything worked well. Right now I have installed the latest available version of Kodi (stable), but when I started for the first time i got this message (Error: unable to create application. Exiting).
I looked at the kodi.log and here what it says, please help!

Please read two posts back ... I posted a special build for those affected.

http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid1880297 <- this one, needs testing and the logfile is required.

[fritsch]

I need this logfile. Without it - this cannot be fixed with version 14.1

Hi.
I tried to install all Kodi builds - RC14.0,Kodi 14.0 stable, and now RC14.1 (KodiSetup-20150104-7422b18-Helix.exe) and always on the first run I get an error "Unable to create application. Exiting". My debug log is here: http://pastebin.com/VtESNZtC
P.S. All previous XBMC builds worked ok.

Can you plse provide me a debug log with the build I have done extra for this purpose? http://mirrors.xbmc.org/test-builds/win3...crease.exe

Hi fritsch..

I just wanted to let you know that i has this problem too. The AudioEngine failed to start using WASAPI HDMI output on a Windows 2008 R2 server (Kodi 14.0). The error only shows when Kodi is lauching from boot (it's shortcut is placed in the startup folder). When i start it manually after boot, it works fine.

I downloaded this version:

And it fixed the problem. Will this be fixed in future releases?

Oh, i previously had XBMC version, these worked fine. After updating to Kodi, the error started.

[fritsch]

No, it won't - I will provide a 14.1 build with this patch applied. We currently have no idea why audio engine needs more than 30 seconds to start and adding such a large timeout is a risk when we have a "real failure". So after 14.1 I will make another build here in this thread.

[fritsch]

http://mirrors.xbmc.org/test-builds/win3...crease.exe <- Here is a new build with latest Helix 14.1 patches - I think this should roughly be 14.1 - but the tag is not yet in.

Any word on if this fix has been committed to and included in the recent nightlies?

[fritsch]

Not and it won't.

[Asphyx]

So basically we won't be able to upgrade to newer versions unless you add your fix to it?

[fritsch]

Exactly.
