Which problem addons are you referring to, where are you downloading them from and how are you trying to install them?

So - then. Disable them and retry. Kodi did not change a single thing in howto downloading addons.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Also, even the  Kodi addons from zip file on external hd have an issue and don't get needed extra/install.
I'm on a fiber connection 150/150 Mbps u/d unlimited from Telus canada.

I would if that was the issue it just hangs at downloading from the internet and zip file.

Come on: You have a 3 layer firewall and your downloads hang and you assume that this is NOT the issue? Dependencies are only installed when you install via our repository ... not when installed from zip

Post your Debug Log - but I am quite sure what we will see there.

the last log doesn't show any 500 errors, instead it crashes in python. fix: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid2662595

I had a similar problem on Linux Mint 18.2, it turns out that's not related to kodi but to "python-cryptography" version installed with Ubuntu.

You can check if that's the case by running kodi from a command line terminal. There'll be a lot of errors related to python on terminal window that obviously don't show up on kodi logs.

I fixed it by updating the related python packages:
Code:
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/299484105/python-cryptography_1.7.1-2_amd64.deb
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/292839640/python-openssl_16.2.0-1_all.deb
sudo apt-get install ~/python-cryptography_1.7.1-2_amd64.deb ~/python-openssl_16.2.0-1_all.deb

Hi;
yes; that did it  no issues no change to firewall . Please mark all my threads as closed maybe add this as a mint/ubuntu 16.04 issue. can't wait to next release 18 lts even though this is supported till 2021 I think . SuperGamer is quick and love file transfers with it (omg do I ) . Kodi if you need a pest to bug content providers I'd be more then happy I want a telus iptv plugin gosh darn it telus.
