I’ve run into a recurring issue where Kodi freezes up whenever my router loses its internet connection.
I understand that Arctic Zephyr REQUIRES additional addons, and I suspect one of these might be causing the freeze? But I have no clue which one, and I'm not very technical? So I'm hoping someone might help me pinpoint which addon might be responsible, and I can then go pester the folks who provide support for that addon?
Or, just HOPING - is there a known workaround to prevent Kodi from freezing under these circumstances? Like a switch that just tells Kodi - "Chill the #*#$ out. No, there's no internet connection. STOP whatever you're doing rather than freezing up the whole system."
I live in a rural area. My internet connectivity is fairly unstable.
I'm not streaming videos off the internet. All of the files are hosted locally, being accessed via SMB with the proper 192.168 local address. VLC works fine playing the same videos.
So I definitely don't even need whatever addon is constantly "calling out" to the internet for no reason whatsoever?
But I'm not allowed to turn off the addons, as Kodi refuses, given the addon is required by Arctic Zephyr.
Thanks VERY much for any advice?
