KODI 17 Krypton freezes upon closing a file/movie - M.O.J.O. General

Hey all.
Hoping to hear of anyone here has had this problem with the new KODI. I am using CM 12.1 on my MOJO, with all my media on a 2Tb external USB hard drive (Western Digital).
Krypton is a terrific update for the most part, but I am finding that it freezes when exiting a file. This appears to happen when actually watching a file all the way through to conclusion, as opposed to just having a brief flick through.
I'm not an expert with logs but I did have a look, and it seems there's possibly an issue with the controller (I'm using the stock CTRLR). It shows an error about /dev/input/js0. I'm wondering if this is something to do with how the controller goes to sleep when not active for long periods, and you have to press the middle button to wake it. But it always freezes when attempting to return to the KODI main screen after a file has played.
If you've had this please post up. Hoping to not have to register for the KODI forum. Thanks all.

Heh, not having much luck with this. Posted it up on the Kodi forums but no responses there either.
Is it just me experiencing this?

Think I've solved this. Posting up in case anyone has the same issue.
It looks like the Weather add on isn't working so well. Simply disabling the Weather widget has restored sanity to my MOJO! No freezes since disabling this. Hope it helps someone.

Me also, was using Firmware 0202 and he was Rooted.
Rooted. Latest firmware. I've only had freezing when playing The Walking Dead. I have not experienced it with anything else yet. I use MOJO for 1080 movies, streaming, playing android games and emulation, surfing etc. without any issues with those.
I got bad freezing yesterday tried different things fans and stuff was getting freezing while streaming on XBMC and downloading from the play store so today I decided to have no fans disconnected the Ethernet cable just used WiFi been streaming all day and have downloaded big games from the play store and it hasn't crashed yet

I heard about this mounts ago, so why have Mad Catz not fixed this BIG problem yet with a Firmware update???
I think because it's a hardware problem, why else would they not fix that problem with a Firmware?
Rooted latest firmware.
My mojo also locks up while playing Walking Dead and pauses/freezes while downloading from play/app store!
Wifi seemed better for a while but eventually got pauses/freezing on wifi as well.
I have had a support ticket open with Mad Catz for a while now and so far they are blaming it on software
and keep asking me to reset/clear data.
I have asked for a replacement unit to prove it is not hardware but have had no response!
I have two Mojo units and have never experienced any type of freezing issue such as you gentleman (or gentlewoman) speak of. Perhaps you received a bad batch?
So I have recently been experiencing more freezing. First only noticed it when I played Walking Dead as stated above. After a couple of episodes of freezing on that game I just uninstalled it and moved on. More recently after using the MOJO for streaming shows from apps I've been getting the freezing and it will make a humming noise when it freezes. I have noticed this both on a wired connection and wireless. I've also experienced the screen going black while playing a video, but you can still hear the audio. This requires exiting to the home screen and going back into the app and starting the video again from where it left off. Ticket submitted today. I like my MOJO, but this is not acceptable.
Have u still had the Ethernet lead in when u where on WiFi pull the lead out completely mine freezes when the lead is in but I don't get any freezing when I keep the lead out and just use WiFi give it a go
I discovered that my MOJO was freezing in Walking Dead due to the "GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys" app! If I do not hide the softkeys it doesn't seem to freeze. I have tried "full!screen" (I don't like to see the softkeys while playing games) and it hasn't frozen/locked yet. The only problem I still have is the pausing/freezing when downloading from play/app store. It is better on wifi but not perfect. I prefer wired!

I have the lead out and have still had the freezing. Everything works great on my Wi-Fi right up until a freezing episode occurs during streaming.

I also thought it may have been the GMD Auto hide so I uninstalled it and installed "fullscreen". I have had freezing with fullscreen installed as well. It seems to happen randomly during streaming. I'm going to keep testing things out and will probably try The Walking Dead again. I may try a factory reset at some point after I finish playing GTA III if it's still occurring That game has run perfectly though.

Another app that requires root and does modification to the default user interface. Guys, be careful regarding apps that require root access. If the mojo is not on the supported list for any of these types of apps that actually modify the interface, I would say to proceed with caution. Root is a powerful thing.

Agreed my wifi is dead locks webpages if it's on with ethernet in,i guess it's a conflict of the m.o.j.o probably saying wifi ethernet wifi ethernet wifi ethernet forever and can't decide so just [email protected] up in a timeout (hangs).Not tried on wifi only yet though must have a go at that,possibly could be the update messed the wifi up on root or on both none root and rooted devices?
I haven't had any recent freezing issues during streaming. I have gone back to ethernet with wifi turned off and seems to be doing ok. I unplug the unit every couple of days.
I have one really weird issue. It only occurs when streaming video, such as from HBOGO, never when playing games. I will be watching and the video will go black. There is still volume, but no video. Hitting the volume button on my tv remote brings the video back immediately. I only found out the fix by trial and error as the MOJO controller won't bring back the video, only the TV remote. Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this? HDMI issue? It happens randomly and will happen multiple times during a show. Sometimes within a few minutes of starting a show, other times it takes a bit before it will do it.
no more freezing
Just like to report that I have now been going a few weeks now and have had no freezing what soever since I stopped using Ethernet really glad now I didn't send mine of working like a charm

Your not using a mouse by any chance?Or leaving the mouse cursor on the top black area of the screen,as on my unit if i leave the mouse cursor on the top bar from time to time i get intermitent flickering (black screen/normal screen) or the screen just goes solid black.So i just place the cursor anywhere but when i am using the unit and it does not happen then.

Yeah, I get that too, only on at the top and it's only a few pixels (hoz lines), just blanks out the display.
not sure what's going on there, just figured it's the TV which has overscan issues anyway.

Backdrop Not Activating Automatically

Has anyone else had an issue where the backdrop refuses to kick in automatically after the preset time? It simply won't activate for me on its own (neither daydream nor color works). If I manually start it from the settings menu it will launch. I've tried rebooting the device and it still won't work. Any ideas?
UPDATE: I've been doing some troubleshooting, and after uninstalling Plex and rebooting, backdrop starting working again. I then installed Plex again, and it briefly worked, but then stopped.....so I'm wondering if Plex is causing the issue. I suppose the next step is to leave Plex uninstalled for a while and see what happens.
I have the same problem. What happens is the screen just goes black when it is supposed to go on. Like you I can run it manually through the settings. I don't even have Plex installed so I have no idea why it stopped working. I can't understand how there is no simple way to restart the player too...
Based on my experiences so far, it appears that Google rushed this unfinished prototype out to the market. I have so many little problems and find that video playback is choppy at times. This thing needs some attention quickly.

I agree. It definitely seems pretty buggy at this point.
So far, in my case though, it's been running much better since I uninstalled Plex. Also, I was having an issue with the microphone on the remote controller REALLY sucking. It would hardly ever work properly. It would regularly not pick up any of what I said or pick up only the first word or so. BUT, since uninstalling Plex, the microphone has been working perfectly. It's like night and day. I'm going to keep monitoring it, but it seems like Plex was definitely causing this problem for me in addition to my backdrop problem.
With all of that said, perhaps you installed a different app that's causing problems for you?

[Q] Sound Lag

Hello,
I am getting a 1 second sound delay effecting menu and all apps after the device is left on over night, tried factory resetting and with and without sleep mode. Has anyone else experienced this issue or have a solution for me?
Thanks
I was going to say the same thing. I have random one second lag in YouTube (rarely), BSDroid (always), but not in Plex or Kodi. The problem is fixed by pausing in YouTube and jumping forward on BSDroid. It's a big pain as these issues don't affect the chrome cast I have on the same TV and network.
I don't have to wait, it's pretty much out of the box. I have tried stock 5.1.1, rooted 5.1.1, CM12 nightlies, and all AOSP roms available. I feel like it's an issue with the Google Cast app? I'll try 5.1 and see if the situation changes tomorrow.
I haven't even bothered rooting mine yet, as this issue goes right down into the system. Even moving around the menu their is a 1 second delay in the sound. Only goes away with a reboot.
I think I may have found my issue, it seems that when I put the TV into PC mode to fix the overscan I get this sound lag after the TV turns off and then back on again. still troubleshooting it though.
Waited a while to get some new nightlies out and still the same problem. Tried 3 different TVs, all casted audio is delayed and has to be reset. Guess i have a junker now

[Q] Kodi on Remote Problem

I've noticed that for the past few days this bug keeps happening. I try to use the Nexus Player remote to navigate and sometimes it gets stuck on trying to perform an action I didn't want to do (selecting a video repeatedly/using the voice search function). The light on top of the mic button also keeps flashing when this happens.
The only way to fix this problem is to take out the batteries on the remote. This sometimes happen outside the app but it is a lot more frequent inside the app. I'm currently running the latest Isengard 15 Beta available from the Play Store.
Does anybody else have this problem? Is this a Kodi-related bug or is it a software problem that Google can patch? I would also like to know how to stop this from happening.
I think Ive experienced this and outside Kodi. I have a feeling its Nexus Player problem. Others?
Use the app yatze for controlling kodi it's a great app and free. I also use the nexus player remote app my kids have the NP remote and I haven't seen it for months but the apps work great on both my wife and my phone hope that helps

Changing Languages Automatically?

Since the 6.0 update (I updated automatically via OTA), my Nexus Player changes language to Korean (I believe - it's the last language in the list) randomly. It's done it twice overnight, and just now it changed in the middle of a show on Netflix. I was watching Netflix, and the show stopped and tried to buffer. I exited Netflix to try to load again, and the language had been changed to Korean. Now my Netflix is no longer working.
Has anyone encountered this issue? It's driving me nuts.
I have the same thing since the 6.0 marshmallow update. For my device the language changes from dutch to english(australian).
This is crazy. It happens to me all the time. (korean/last on the list)
I just flashed mra58k again, wiped everything and it's still doing it!!
It's very easy to replicate and it happens all the time, I don't understand how this can happen on a stable release.
I'm not sure if it's directly related, but it happens to me when I change the hdmi input on my receiver/TV.

Wow, thanks for saving me the trouble of flashing the images and starting over - I just won't bother if it isn't worth it. Did you format the /system partition before you re-flashed the images?
I did quite a bit of searching around the web before I posted this thread, and this bug doesn't seem to be wildly reported.
What kind of TV/receiver do you have the Nexus Player attached to?
I'm using a Yamaha receiver and an LG 55LV5500 television. I suspect that's not very helpful information, but I'm really stumped by this bug.
You're able to replicate conditions for this to happen? Every time you switch inputs? It's very random for me. It was English when I started watching Netflix, and Korean when I finished watching a couple episodes and exited the Netflix app.
Can anyone more familiar with the Google bug tracker check to see if something like this is in there? If not, can we submit this bug?
I flashed the stock image (fastboot flash system system.img) and then factory reset from recovery.
I also have an LG TV (49UB830), connected to Onkyo TX-SR608.
It doesn't happen every time, but usually it does.
My common scenario is this: I change the input from the TV to "cable" and when I change back to HDMI and wake up the Nexus Player with the remote, after a few seconds the launcher refreshes itself with the new language. (if it's not already changed)
I don't think it's the only scenario, but it's the most common one for me. And it's annoying because it happens several times a day.
The config change is probably triggered by a change in the HDMI state.
LE: It does happen every time, I just need to wait for daydream/backdrop to kick in. (5 minutes, while the input is NOT on the Nexus Player)
LE2: It's not actually related to backdrop. I tried to disable it and the language still changes. I guess it just needs a few seconds.
Turn off RIHD
Ok, this issue has been driving me crazy and you guys gave me some ideas of things to test when you mentioned that it happens during input selection changes. My setup is an LG TV 60LA620V and Onkyo TX-SR608 receiver.
I've discovered that if the HDMI RIHD setting on the receiver and the SimpLink setting on the TV are both on, the issue is happening. If I turn off either of those, the issue goes away.
I turned it off on the receiver, as that still allows me to control the Player with the TV remote and I don't make use of the Audio Return Channel anyway.
Can anyone confirm this finding?

Someone has replied and requested a bug report, but I cannot figure out how to capture one on this device. Can someone help?
Apparently this should do it:
Code:
adb bugreport > bugreport.txt
I will try to submit one myself.
Disabling HDMI RIHD it's not a solution for me, as I use and need Audio Return Channel.

Awesome, thanks!
I agree - If I disable the HDMI-CEC on either the TV or the receiver, then the Nexus Player is unable to change input automatically when I cast to it. I'd rather deal with changing the language for now rather than cripple the Chromecast function of the player.
Glad I am not the only person with this issue. Very frustrating!
Has there been any update on this one?
Common factor seems to be the LG tv and Simlink as this is what I also have setup.
hahaha mine happens when I exit netflix. English to Korean.
I updated to MRA58N, but I have the same issue.
Crazy thought: can I remove Korean? or maybe all the languages except English?
Can it be done?
It should fix the problem.
You can go to this page and star the issue to give it some attention.
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=191068
It might also be helpful to post your TV and Receiver brand, as well as your logs. Mine's an LG TV from 2013 and Onkyo HT-RC560
I have this issue but I assumed it was DramaFever, the Korean tv app doing it. It wasn't happening before that app was installed so I just assumed (given their horrendous CS I wouldn't be surprised). Any chance you guys also have DramaFever installed???
Hi. I have the same boring problem, since today. I've just changed my TV. It's a Sony. The previous one was a Sony too.
How did you managed to restore your language ? Mine is French, and I can't even find anything I understand in the settings. Do I need to reset the device.
Thanks for your anwers.
---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ----------
And if there is no simple way to restore original language, can you tell me the exact way to choose it in settings (something like - setting, down 3 time, OK...).
Thanks again !
Last edit : it's quite simple to change in fact, via the world icon.
I unplugged the optical audio cable, disconnecting the Onkyo amp from the setup. Problem fixed. How? I have no idea.
Mine have the same issue. But i think it's deeper than languages. I had open a thread with my troubles, mine lost my account in the same time too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/help/bug-nexus-player-6-0-lost-accounts-t3296794
And for you?
There is a fix for the language part. It's not really a fix in fact, more like "trick" :
https://github.com/loadrunner/language-reset
It's just checking the language, and force it to the value of your choice.
Any Update?
