Hey there, I've had Kodi installed for a while without major problems but now I can't watch more than 10minutes of whatever and Kodi crashes and I get back to the Fire TV dashboard without any error message... I have not changed anything except update the firmware of the WD EX2 Ultra that is hooked to Kodi a few weeks ago. and all was working fine right after I made the update at least for 2-3 weeks...
any idea ? thank you in advance for any useful answers...

title says it all, turned on my Fire Tv and all there is a blank screen. I'm at a loss what would cause this? full sd card perhaps? I have XBMC installed with Xbmc launcher installed. Funny enough i can still access voice control through the remote and access apps like netflix. Any help would be great
Samething happen to mines yesterday. Now it wont even make sound or play any content.
What firmware version did each of you last have?
If both are the same,then it might be related to the issue.
Or bad problems with XBMC and/or the location you got it from including how you got it.
The same problem happens to my unit today. No video signal from HDMI to TV. How can I reset the unit?
Got the Amazon fire TV one week back and its not rooted, but Installed XBMC.
When I try to watch a video on you tube after 5 to 10 minutes, it starts buffering and the video doesnt play afterwards, I have to go back and open it againa, and forward it to the original place and watch it, again after 5 minutes samethign happens..
Same with XBMC, after 5 minutes video buffers, but after couple of minutes if click play button video resumes, but after couple of minutes buffering starts...
I watch youtube on my laptop or chromecast, it works perfectly , so i dont think there is any problem with wifi. Also I have download speeds of 20MBPS +
Is it because of faulty device or anythign else. Yestereday i cleared youtube apps data, still the problem continues.. Please suggest me how can I resolve it??
TIA
I can't help but blame and jab qualcomm with a stick when it comes to Fire TV problems.
Especially Fire TV is stuck with older v5x instead of v66.
I have my own video issues where it fails entirely.
After long enough,videos completely refuse to work (error ocurred) on YouTube and many others until I restart with ctrl+alt+delete hotkeys.
I haven't seen it happen in quite a while though since modding several minor aspects with various performance tweaks.
I talked to staples, they are sending me a new device, but looking at the problems that people have, the new device may not solve the problem... Lets see..
I have just purchased a FireTV, and have sideloaded XBMC. Everything seems to work perfectly, however when I have a queue of TV shows for example, after an episode finishes I get like a kaleidoscope effect, then it boots me back to FTV home screen.
This happens on SMPC and XBMC directly from their site. Does anyone know any fixes?
I got something similar! When i watch a serie or a movie in xbmc after some time it stops! Then i have to open the movie/serie again. This keeps on repeating till the other day. I think it started when i used sdmaid. I am on the latest prerooted firmware. Network and Internet connection a fine.
Iv got a dozen AFTV 1's and sticks!
However my first AFTV2, after opening and turning it on for the first time, it updated and then booted into a blank screen, nothing! Could not get into the resolution settings, nothing dead! Kaput! sent it back!
2nd AFTV2 I had issues with connecting to the wifi, and then when it was downloading the update, the wifi kept dropping out so I had to download it in bits, when it finally downloaded it installed but the new Wi-Fi remote keeps dropping off! Difficulty in pairing it up at times - so annoying! I tried everything in the end I just give up and used my fire tv stick remote!
I have found that apps I used on the AFTV1 like Advanced Task Killer no longer works as it does not show the correct RAM and does not show the processes that are currently running, so I can’t kill Kodi if Kodi crashes! Works perfectly on AFTV1.
On AFTV1 I use the standard amazon 4 USB amazon hub with a wireless mouse dongle and usb drive and both work, on the AFTV2, the hub doesn’t work, I haven’t tried to power it to see if that would work!
No optical, I guess no big deal as HDMI to TV then optical out to sound receiver! Will try this way! But I would of thought going directly would be better!
Apps like CCleaner and others the screen goes small like an android phone! Or stretched on some apps! On the AFTV1 the screen would at least get filled to the whole screen! It makes these side loaded apps look crap!
I can’t find the 4K content? Although I don’t have a 4K TV! Do you need to connect to a 4K TV for this content to suddenly become available?
The AGK FIRE app doesn’t work! My AFTV2’s don’t even appear on the list, so I can’t side load apps from say another AFTV or phone!

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.
