Thanks for the response.  Mxplayer streams well with minimal buffering where the tv guide default has intermit freezing.  I set my playcorefactory default with mxplayer within the Kodi userdata.  The playercorefactory works, but as I explained it does not play too well with the tv guide and causes kodi to crash when I exit the stream. Also, I am running into some trouble with the epg guide.  I created an xmltv file and the guide loads and stays current for around 3 to 4 days. It then loses the programming information like it expired.  Is there something that I am doing wrong to keep it updated?  I have the source set to load up automatically when the tv guide starts up and I am puzzled why it is losing the guide information.  Any advice?

Thanks
