Can a pseudo “safe mode boot” be adedd?

Thanks for your work.

I think I solved a problem with my IPTV Kodi software.

I am a Movistar (Spain) basic IPTV customer and there are non official KODI plugin providers that worked great at my x86_64 GNU/Linux Manjaro KODI. https://sourceforge.net/p/movistartv

But after buying NEOBOX Android ARM PCTV and install it starting Kodi got frozen updating EPG.

So I managed to change channels fast after 4 or 5 reboots (it seems it stopped the sync or update) , and then make a short list of normal channels (It adds channels in prove that made the mess).

But I missed a way of “safe mode boot” to be able to solve the problem faster or even an auto detect way of the previous frozen and boot automatically in safe mode until the problem is solved.

Thanks in advance for making the most amazing and modular media and entertainment home system and improve it every version.
