Hi all,
I followed the guide on AFTV located here http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-partially-or-entirely-move-kodi-data-to-external-usb-storage/ to move Kodi to a MicroSD after frequent problems with space.
It worked great, however I use Kodi to launch emulators and other FireTV apps and when they close, Kodi resets completely. Default skin, no library and no Addons. If I exit and restart everything gets picked up again. Just wondering if anyone is experiencing the same issue/fixed it.
P
Yep - same here. Not really looked deep into it myself, just glad it comes back when I re-enter. You're not alone, but no advice on fixes.... Maybe someone else here has a suggestion?

I read a bunch of threads on people getting a white screen and some clearing it up by resetting application cache. I have also tried uninstalling and re installing netflix without any luck.
My ultimate goal is to just have XBMC as my launcher and bypass the amazon home screen as there's lots of content I don't want my kids getting into. Not to mention I like xbmc better. It seems root is required to do this following the guide on here.
I have competently reset my aftv to factory defaults twice and re-rooted with the exact same results. I am fairly new to rooting and modding android so I am not sure where to go.

What FireTV software version are you on? I have been rooted for a while now, on the very first (of three) updates and no issues. How is Netflix not working?
The only thing I can think of is when you have a video playing or paused in XBMC, Netflix and Hulu will crash or not display correctly. To fix this, I changed the keymap for the back button to stop. This is described in the FireTV XBMC wiki.

I was on the second software version until I turned on the tv yesterday, now the 3rd. I would get an error were having trouble playing this for 90% of things I tried to stream. It started right after rooting and went away as soon as I did a factory restore.
Hi. I tried posting on another site but no one seemed to be experiencing the same issue. I recently switched from SPMC to 13.2. After just few days navigation became very slow but video played fine. It would keep getting slower despite clearing cache then it just wouldn't start--immediate crash.
I switched back to SPMC and still menu was slow, video perfect. But today it just wouldn't launch. After several reboots and clear cache from fire os menu I got it to work. It played a video with no problems, however, I know based on how navigation sticks its going to crash again. Problem is I can't force a crash. It only crashes on startup, making debugging impossible I think.
I'm basically using just genesis and a few program add-ons all from add-on installer. I've used aeon nox and ccm skins. They both do the same thing.
I'm thinking fresh start but there's little reason to think I won't end up back here.
The only other relevant piece of info (maybe) is I recently installed clockwork mod and installed rbox latest firmware. Then I updated the remote from there. It may have nothing to do with anything but without a log I don't know how else to explain it. Anyone else having similar problems? Any and all advice is welcomed. Thanks.
Hi all
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue. Sometimes when subtitles are enabled in kodi, the video very noticeably stutters on my AFTV. It doesn't happen all the time, but will happen eventually and once it does, it will stay like that until I restart the Fire TV OR sometimes only fix is to restart my Ubuntu file server.
I read over at the kodi forums that peeps on lower CPU boxes have this issue, but there was no solution and the post was from 2 years ago.
This happens to me on SPMC, Gotham and latest Helix. It's a fairly recent issue (last 2 months) as I never noticed it when I first got the AFTV back in July. I also tried both nfs and smb and fiddling with buffer and cache sizes.
It's either a server issue or an AFTV/kodi issue and I can't work out why and what to do. I'm running latest pre-rooted firmware.
Any others with this issue and any solutions?
Cheers
Well in case anyone else is experiencing this, I found a solution that works for me. SPMC 13.4.0 seems to be working flawlessly. The previous version was not. Hope that helps someone somewhere.
I apologize if this not the correct forum for this post. I tried the Kodi.tv forums and no one seems to be having this issue.
I'm have a FireTV v1 running 5.2.1.1 (no updates since Aug). I am also running Kodi 16.1
Up until a few days ago, Kodi would always stay open even when the FireTV went to sleep. When I woke up the FireTV, Kodi was still open and updated with any new content.
Over the past few days (nothing changed as far as I am aware), when the FireTV sleeps, Kodi exits. I have to reopen Kodi and wait for it to load and sync. This is not a desirable behavior.
Any thoughts on why this may have happened and what I might do to remedy it?
Thanks
My first thought is don't let the box sleep.

mine does this as well. Its a gen 1 on the newest firmware, so jailbreaking isnt currently an option. I have two of these, and one doesnt have the behavior at all. Id really like to fix the one closing out of kodi.
I've been struggling with issues on this AFTV for awhile. My other AFTV is problem free. It's got to be something in my setup but no idea what?
Old issues:
Kodi could not be launched from the main menu. It would crash everytime if I did this so I needed to launch it from settings/manage apps after force stopping it.
***I also couldn't plug in my usb stick or it would revert to a blank install (no video sources, no thumbs, stock skin)
--This I attributed to a glitch with the way I was storing my thumbs on usb but no matter how many times I tried to fix it, it just wouldn't work.
Last week I did a fresh install, wiped data and flashed the latest rom. I also formatted my usb and went through the setup process again to store thumbnails on USB. It worked...sort of
New Issue:
Kodi can now be launched from the homescreen without crashing. HOWEVER, it reverts right back to a fresh install, blank kodi, no sources, thumbs, etc!
--If I force stop it then launch it again, everything goes back to normal (my setup is intact, thumbs are imported from USB.)
***There's ONE more piece of the puzzle that I'm hoping will give someone an idea...everytime I launch kodi, the AFTV seems to temporarily lose it's hdmi connection with the TV. I get the black screen with "no signal" listed in the center. It comes back once Kodi has booted up.
--This happens when it's launched from the main menu only. If I hit force stop then launch it, Kodi starts right up (correctly, setup intact). I notice it skips the splash screen and just goes right to my Homescreen.
Thought I'd take a shot and see if anyone knows what's going on. Would really appreciate any help. I tried to be as thorough as possible but if there's any questions, please help if you think you have an idea. Thanks
