I resolved issues with fire stick by doing factory restore. All programs were removed except the ones that came with new Amazon Firestick. I then installed Downloader from Amazon and used it to go to http://kodi.tv/downloads where I downloaded Kodi 17.3 Krypton (dated May 25 2017).
Kodi 17.3 Krypton splash screen opens, identifies itself and says preparing to run for first time then goes to black screen and crashes on 65 inch Mitsubishi tube type HDTV. No Joy! No addons have been installed.
It will run on flatscreen HDTV. This is a new clean install with no installation errors.
Why isn’t Kodi 17.3 Krypton compatible with tube type TV
Previously, Kodi 16.1 Jarvis worked good on 65 inch Mitsubishi tube type HDTV.
