      I am receiving an issue where Kodi is crashing on startup. I have been using it successfully for about two weeks now on a new build until it started crashing yesterday. The first thing I did was take a fresh SD card and installed a new image of retropie 3.7 on it. Then I proceeded to download Kodi to ensure that retropie was as vanilla as possible. Still crashing.

      Just looking for some advice or if others have similar issues. I'm not sure if it was an update that possibly crashed it. Thanks for taking the time to read it.

        @indaleco did you update your setup script first before downloading kodi? Try updating and installing it again

          This link has worked for me, before I figured other things out.


          also you will need to enable root

          Hope this helps.

            I didn't understand very well your post, but check this if you are using a Kodi config backup:

            If not, there is a high chance that you are experiencing this bug:
            https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/1360

            You can try to update to kernel 4.4 and see if that fixes your problem. You can test it by running the following command,reboot in the end and test again:

            sudo rpi-update

            WARNING: I am not responsible if this breaks your installation more than it was, try it at your own risk.
