Looks like bad exception handling somewhere, so debug log wonā€™t help. But you can enable debug logging by editing /usr/bin/mediacenter and adding --debug to the $KODI line (might be helpful for the future)

Also now having problems with a boot loop on 167. Seems this version is busted. Gone back to a 166 and 165 and it still crashes.

Iā€™ve removed 167 from the repo. Doing some more testingā€¦

662

added the debug line

sudo -u osmc $KODI --debug --standalone -fs --lircdev /var/run/lirc/lir

tnx Sam :slight_smile:

although it doesnt generate a new .kodi directory it just crashes

663

Not sure why I tried this, but running

sudo /usr/bin/mediacenter

Gets osmc up and running without the boot loop.

664

hmm that doesnt make a whole lot of sense, but it worksā€¦ for 2 secs then crash.

tried a second time and then it didnt crash.

665

I think this patch fixes it.

Tried it on one of my piā€™s and it seems to have solved the problem.

666

awesome, posting another build in a while then ?

667

Its on the go :slight_smile: Each build takes 4-5 hours.

hehe not expect a rush build aslong as its in the works im ok :slight_smile:

plus i can use the workaround until the new build

669

Oddly enough Iā€™ve done back 3-4 builds and they all fail now until I update /usr/bin/mediacenter.

670

The above patch will only be useful if youā€™re on staging repo as well as @gmcā€™s.

@gmc if you build with this patch it will break it for non staging users. Will resolve this soon, but for now staging users can manually edit /usr/bin/mediacenter.

671

on staging been that for a long time still failed today after the 2 latest revisions

672

Thanks - Iā€™ll add a note to the top in the meantime.

673

Still having the problem with Kodi not starting in version 166, even with the manual fix of the start script. Running a RBP1.
Any suggestions?

674 
sudo service mediacenter stop
sudo /usr/bin/mediacenter &

simple crude workaround while gmc and sam are working out a proper patch

plus are you on staging @haegg78?

675

How do I verify if Iā€™m on staging, have done the steps defined at the top? @Toast
Been running the Kodi 17 builds since the start of this thread.

When running your provided workaround, Kodi exits after ~20 secs with return code 139.

676

There will be no issue if you are not on staging repository.

I have a proposed solution for those that are, but need a tester first. I have spoken to @gmc about this.

677

Whatā€™s in your /etc/apt/sources.list

If you are on staging and applied the fix it could be a different issue. Can you post debug logs?
Does renaming the .kodi folder make any difference?

678 
deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian jessie main contrib non-free
deb http://apt.osmc.tv jessie main
deb http://download.osmc.tv/dev/gmc ./

Is the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list.

I will try and create a debug log tomorrow morning.
