Kodi 17 installed but won’t open

Hi guys,

Basically I’ve installed kodi 17 after we got the fire stick ~4 months ago. It’s installed correctly, as it shows up as v17.1 when you look at it in settings through ‘manage installed apps’.

Everytime i try to use it however, the screen goes blank for ~8-10 seconds as though loading, but returns me to the screen i tried to open kodi from. What should i do?

Fire OS is 5.2.1.2

Thanks in advance.
