I strongly suspect this crash is just the Kodi 17 version of what is documented at http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=266205 but here’s a complete report just in case.
OSX Version: 10.12.1
Platform Mac: Mini
Install Method: dmg
Version of Kodi: v17.0 Krypton Beta 1, and also 17.0-BETA7 Git:20161202-1f9756 which is the nightly for 2 December. Both exhibit identical issues.
Detailed Instructions to Reproduce the Problem (The more specific the better):
Clear the decks first –
Delete ~/Library/Application Support/Kodi
Delete ~/.kodi
Delete /Applications/Kodi
Empty trash for good measure
Drag Kodi app from dmg to /Applications
Double click Kodi app to open it
Go to TV section, gives note about needing to set up a PVR and directing user to add-on browser. Go to “Enter Add-on Browser”.
Select “VBox TV Gateway PVR Client” Sam Stenvall – 3.6.1
Click on “Configure” and enter IP address
Select “Enable”
Wait a few seconds – Kodi crashes back to Mac OS X desktop
If you open the same Kodi app again without removing preferences, it crashes from the intro splash screen back to the desktop directly.
Other bits of information that may be relevant:
VBox model: XTi-3442 3rd Gen DVB-T2 (for Australia)
VBox software version: XTI_VJ.2.56
Note that VBox is set up to record to a SMB network drive (I suspect this is relevant)
