    KODI v17 hangs exiting on Solo 2 running OpenVix 5.0007

    Hi guys,

    As the title says the solo 2 box hangs and the remote doesn't work any function when I press the exit button on KODI v17. I have used two different skins and same thing happens. I have to switch the box from the switch power behind. Otherwise KODI works quite well.

    1. Cam I damage the Solo 2 or its configuration box by switching it off from behind?

    I am running the VU+ Solo 2 via HDMI to a TV with only two HDMI inputs and the other one is being used by the PS4. I do understand a proper android box will be better to run KODI but I do really need to make it work in my Solo 2 box because I haven't got other HDMI ports. (I have tried the HDMI switchers and three of them did not work).

    How can I fix KODI from hanging while I try to exit? Could I use the same "fixes" seen in different you tube videos directed to KODI running in windows or fire sticks? Please help!!!

    I posted in another thread as I have the same issue with my mutant HD51.

    I turned off Kodi version check addon and also stopped Kodi version check from auto updating which has improved the hanging issue for me. It still hung for quite a while on the first quit after turning the above addon off, but since then it only takes about 10 to 15 seconds. I don't use a build from any of the wizards as most of the addons they contain I never use.

    Telnet

    killall kodi.bin

    If its stuck for longer than 30 seconds on exit.

    Puts you straight back to plugin feeds menu, without need of a restart.

    Yep that telnet command works great.

    Ive ended up just deleting the kodi app because if this.

    Seems to be a problem on Windows and Linux also.

    App runs fine till I need to exit back to Tv.

    Can I uninstall Kodi v17 and install v16 Jarvis instead? Do you think it will resolve the problem?

    I dont use kodi 17 on the shield, Spmc performs much better. I would not use kodi 17 at all given the choice as can't even get it to run TvHeadend on the Wetek play anywhere near as well as previous Kodi versions, addons from the offical kodi repository like Iplayer no longer work etc . Not all of the problems are Kodi 17 issues, more issues are caused by poorly designed addons and builds and scripts that are not device specific.

    KODI v17 hangs exiting on Solo 2 running OpenVix 5.0007

    The basic kodi with no apps installed exits ok sometimes

    Soon as I load any app eg exodus then it won't exit at all.

    You will have to install 4.2.30 ViX Image if you want Kodi 16.
