I’m running Kodi on a Minix Neo X5 device running Android 4.4. I’m using a mySQL server and pointing to it in the advancedsettings.xml file.
Everything was working fine until my router died and had to get a new one.
With the new router, the mySQL server has a different IP address now and Kodi is frozen on the splash screen trying to find the old IP address.
I’m using a Kodi launcher app to launch directly into Kodi when the device starts up.
So, I can’t load any other app to modify the advancedsettings.xml file.
Kodi needs a way to fail gracefully and not keep the user stuck on the splash screen just because it can’t find the ip address set in the advancedsettings.xml.
Any ideas on how to get unstuck? This is a real conundrum!
