Hi all, Kodi has not worked for a few weeks for me, it would update but no contents list and would deffo not play anything. I have just updated to Ten Below 'Open Black Hole 1.0 vuplus-images Custom Build'. I don't think it is a build issue, 16.1 did not work for me either. When I check my addons, all have ticks against them. Any informed help appreciated.

What addons?
What happens when you click on it?
Is it when you click in media, then don't play?
What box?

One bit of advice if its not worked for weeks, if turn off any SMART on router/internet supplier. I.e Sky shield, BT smart, Vermin homesafe etc.

Also if same .kodi i.e same addons/build and its on usb/hdd that you have across many images/platforms, I would reformat usb/set it all up again and try that also (after fresh start option in Kodi, if that fails try the above)

Hi danny187, I have a Solo2. The fault manifested itself a few weeks ago when using kodi 16. I could update the addons, I could through to some of the menus, but the contents lists were missing and the only thing of note was that the PVR addon kept disabling itself. I had a bit of spare time over the weekend and decided to update the image and with it kodi. Basically the same issue,the addons update but wont open. UK Turks for example will not load beyond the addon icon. Sorry for not using the right terms but I'm a user who dips in and out of tech.

What PVR addon? got a link?

As above TURN OFF any smart setups on internet.
Totally wipe your kodi /hdd/.kodi and redo ADDON by ADDON.

Try that.

Hi, I will have a go when I get home this evening. I believe the PVR add was required for kodi 16 but not for 17. Sorry to have blurred the issue. I am unsure if I have any smart setups, how do I check this? So to wipe kodi from the hdd, i use the FTP. Where would I find ADDON by ADDON. Sorry for the q's but as I said, I'm a user, and a basic one at that. I leave the tech stuff to you Jedi

1. you can use FRESH START from within Kodi or restore Kodi to factor defaults.
2. Delete from /media/hdd the file will be .kodi by ftp.
3. actually wipe your hdd, initialise on box, then remount as media/hdd (you lose everything on hdd)
4. Addon by Addon, I mean install each addon individually, best way "google" your addon you want and follow instructions from a website like seo michael.

Although "mega wookie build" in wookie wizard under community build tabs works OK (bar the skin shortcut error) as does few builds on Fanriffic themes wizard.

Remember your on Kryton (Kodi 17) now, so if do install a build that's the version.

however since you admit you know nothing on thge subject, I would personally just install a few individual addons.

Google on how to install on Kodi 17 etc.
