edit: and yes... I uninstalled the older version, deleted app data, restarted Kodi, installed the newer version (.15) and entered in the userdata, rebooted kodi and attempted to play a file.

Did you restart the entire computer ?

Believe it or not I did while I was deleting the original app data. I'll give it another try either later tonight or tomorrow. One of the other symptoms seems to be that kodi will not close cleanly from "exit" with the newer plugin installed.

Is there something persistent in windows that wouldn't be shutting down when kodi shuts down?

Ok, went through a fairly thorough shutdown/restart.......

Start kodi/uninstall 1.0.25/shut down kodi/restart PC/delete app data (more on this later)/restart PC/open kodi/install 1.1.15/cleared userinfo to default/shut down kodi/reboot PC/open kodi/verify login info still nil/enter login info/shut down kodi/reboot PC/Start Kodi (got the "default browser" message along with an open browser for authentification/ open plugin/playback freezes/close kodi/reboot PC/open kodi/open plugin/playback still freezes kodi/reverted back to 1.0.25/playback works

The only thing that's puzzling me is that the default login info populated after I'd deleted the app data folder I could find which suggests I'm not getting all of it. Where would I look for the app data or is there a folder name I can search for?

edit: Now I'm not even seeing the return of the app data folder I deleted previously. Sorry... think I"m going to tap out for now and see if the lightbulb comes on for somebody else that explains what I'm doing incorrectly. I'll stick with the older version until it breaks completely and then maybe try a full kodi re-install.
