Hi there,

I have an old Apple TV 2 with Kodi 14.2... it has been working for me for years, but since Kodi no longer supports these boxes, I decided to upgrade. I bought an off-the-shelf Android TV box (Goobang Doo ABOX III).

First some context.

I have a DNS-323 NAS where I have some movies stored. This NAS is accessible through SMB. The Apple TV Kodi has been using it for years, and never had an issue. I have three main folders for these movies; Kids Movies, Movies and Kids TV.

The new Kodi box came with a version of Kodi but as I have been having issues with it, I removed it and installed a stock 16.1 version from the Google Play Store. The box has Android TV 6.0 and Kodi 16.1.

I added the Kodi Logfile Uploader add-on, and added the folders for my videos. I basically added the folder for the Kids Movies then set it to Movies content then executed the scan for new content option. Kodi crashed within 2-3 seconds. Here is the log in debug:

and here is what I have tried:

If I add the Kids TV folder and set it to TV Shows, it scans fine.
If I set the Kids Movies folder to TV show content, it scans fine as well.
If I change the Movie Database scanner to be the Universal Scanner, Kodi crashes as well.

thanks for your help.

Try uninstalling the movie scrapers and reinstalling them.

Hi there,

Thanks for the suggestion. For some reason, the "The Movie Database" add-on has the remove button disabled. I did some research and ended up deleting the plugin directly from the addons folder, then updated it through the UI. I then tried to start the scan and Kodi crashed again. I also tried the Universal Movie Scraper and another random one... they all crashed Kodi when the scan started.

This would make me think it is a problem with Kodi accessing the NAS storage, however, I can see all the movies in that folder from Kodi... also, if I set the content to TV Shows, the scan works fine.. it just does not work because they are not shows.

Hi there, I never found a fix. I returned the box to the seller. They could not figure it out either

If you would like help in resolving your issue, can you post a debug log. Instructions are in my signature below.

Once you enable debugging mode, restart kodi until it crashes, then upload the log to a pastebin site.
