I have just installed Jarvis RC and the corresponding skin from Github and am just tweaking the home menus but for some reason it will not let me select an image from my pc to use as a background. Also the main menu doesn't scroll as smooth as it did on Isengaard but this could be a RC thing ?

Are the System video settings correct? Is the display set to output 24hz or something cause that will effect the scrolling "smoothness" or perhaps you are using low powered device with the snow effect enabled. Not sure if snow causes that much of a performance dip but there are a lot of elements onscreen with different animations...

Hi Mike, thanks for getting back to me and for the compliment! I've been having loads of fun working on my family video library and am currently doing a section called "nostalgia," where I'm setting up old family movies (some really, really old of my great-grandparents, etc.). It's a fabulous way to not only preserve a copy of basically priceless videos (to me at least), but also to easily access them. It takes a bit of work, but it's really a great hobby.

I don't have the blur setting, but using your suggestion, I turned off most options just to test, and I still received the toolbox script error when I launched a video.

Also, I have chosen the "expert" level and still no Debug option shows up. I tried a complete fresh reinstall, even deleting Kodi completely and sideloading it again, and still same situation -- I don't see "Enable Debug Logging," only "Enable Component Specific Logging." I do see it on my computer (where I've also installed Kodi with the same setup), but I don't see it on the Fire TV stick, and also I don't get the script error on my PC, only going through the Fire TV stick.

Also, I had Isengard and your brilliant skin (truly mean that) before the big update where we had to re-setup our menu/submenus, and it didn't do this then, so it's only started since that point in time. I don't know if that helps pinpoint the issue, but it's something I noticed. Also, it only seems to happen with the first video and then doesn't recur until restarting Kodi.

Regarding debugging, would there be something corrupt in my setup, something I still might be missing, or maybe another method to access the debug log for you? By the way, I think you should be called Dr. Mike because this reminds me of the doctors I work for who have to diagnose problems, often through a process of elimination. hehe

Thanks again!

If you do not see enable debug logging then something is not right... I can only think of one other way to enable debug logging and that way could be easy, hard, or really hard depending on your SSH/SFTP and advancedsettings comfort level.

Before we get to that...
I would try re-installing script.toolbox from the add-on manager in case it is just a simple missing dependency.

If that does not help:
First, you will need a way to copy and write to the Kodi folders on your Fire stick... More info on that here and if you need further help with that I suggest checking in the android section and, if needed, asking for help from fellow Fire Stick users that would know more than I do.

Second, you would then need to create an advancedsettings (wiki) file and follow these instructions to enable debug logging.

Finally, please post a link to the log here manually or using the Add-on:Kodi Log Uploader (wiki) and we can hopefully see what the problem is and find a solution

Hi Mike, I did a complete fresh reinstall of Isengard and the repository. This time I did find the option to turn on debug logging and have submitted a log at http://xbmclogs.com/plygjzrsc and I tried a second one, but I never received the ID number, so it is located at: http://www.filedropper.com/kodi_1 . The first one I had only tried to launch a live webcam via YouTube and received the toolbox script error. I had the component debugger on, too, with that one. The second time I launched a tiny video of my granddaughter, and I received the same script error. For that one, I didn't have the component debugger selected (only the main debugger).

Anyway, the error seems to happen the first time I try to launch any type of video, whether local on my network or via the Internet, such as a YouTube application (the app that comes included with the main Kodi repo). Literally, those are the only two items I have set up with Kodi right now as this was a completely fresh build just for testing. If I click on a second video, the script error doesn't happen again, but if I close down Kodi and relaunch and then try to watch a video, the script error pops up.

Also, just to test, I tried a fresh install of Jarvis along with the repository, and I received the same error.

This script error never happened before the major change where we had to set up our menus and submenu items again.

I hope that my attempts at getting the log reports to you worked!

Thank you very much for helping me with this, and I hope it doesn't take too much of your time.
