A few days ago, Kodi 18 (which had been working fine for weeks) suddenly stopped working. When I start it, the screens display all of the expected graphics and icons, but NO TEXT is visible anywhere on any screen.
When I try to play any video (most of mine are .mkv in h.264 form), the screen suddenly shoots to "quadruple size" meaning that I can only see the upper-left corner of a vastly oversized imaged.
If I stop the video, the screen stays in the super large form, but suddenly the text is visible again. If I kill the app and start over, I get the same general behavior from scratch. Same if I reboot the xbox.
I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling. It appeared to work correctly for a short time, but then suddenly surfaced the same issues again.
Setup: Xbox One X configured thru an HDMI amp to a 4K TV. Videos on a Drobo 5N NAS shared over the LAN. The Xbox is part of the "Insider's Preview Program".
What's up with this?
This surfaced one other big complaint - I could not get backup of all settings to work, so when I reinstall from scratch, it takes me forever to reconfigure all my settings again! Please get export and import of settings working reliably!
Thank you!
