Kodi 17 on stock fire stick runs first run screens but then fails to start kodi

Been trying to upgrade to Kodi 17 for some time. However I have an issue I just cannot resolve:

Fire OS 5.2.1.2 (562254320)

With Kodi kodi-17.0-Krypton-armeabi-v7a.apk loaded direct through adb and also same result using downloader with Kodi 17 + 17.1 nightly

Kodi shows splash screen for preparing for first run which scrolls across screen. However screen then goes black and returns to the app launcher page in firestick

kodi.log from first run: pastebin

Then with advancedsettings.xml for full debug mode pastebin full debug

If I uninstall and load Kodi 16.1 this starts without error only 17 and 17.1 fails to start in the manner described above. Would appreciate any recommendations.

I tried clear cache and clear data etc. And looked within adb shell for any left over possibly corrupt kodi files in /storage/sdcard0 after uninstalling kodi 17 before reinstalling but all to no avail
