Kodi 17.1 FireTV black screen after playing arround…

Hi

I installed Kodi 17.1 on Amazon Fire TV Stick (Alexa Version) using AppStarter.
All worked fine so far

Then i installed Kodi on PC as well, configured it and wanted to transfer everything to the Fire Tv using Plugin "Backup"
This generally worked, but not everything. eg. he didn't transfer settings of skin Aeon Nox.
I played arround a bit. eg. tried to backup additional directories.
Well.. i think this wasn't clever, cause as i know now, the directories are different on PC and Android

Now, Kodi don't boot anymore Sad
I just get a black Screen! I only can quit to FireTV TV Menü using the Home Button on the Fire TV remote

I already reinstalled Kodi.
On first start kodi tells me, that it's going to configure for first boot - then again black screen

At the end i resetted the Stick to factory defaults, but even this doen't help!

The Fire TV Stick itself seems to still work fine

Any ideas?
Thank you very much for your help

Why Does Clean Library NOT ACTUALLY DO THAT??

Very frustrating, and from searches for similar issues, this appears to happen to many other users. When you run a Clean Library, there are still paths/entries in there that are not cleaned. Why does this process fail, or is it that the support inform...

resizing buttons and wrapmultiline

So, I am using this button in DialogFullscreenInfo.xml

PHP Code:
<control type="button">
    <
height>auto</height>
    <
width min="90" max="1664">auto</width>
    <
label>$INFO[VideoPLayer.Plot]</label>
    <
textcolor>$VAR[color:Accent]</textcolor>
    <
font>Slab-22</font>
    <
aligny>center</aligny>
    <
textoffsetx>32</textoffsetx>
    <
wrapmultiline>true</wrapmultiline>
    <
onclick>noop</onclick>
</
control

It's a fake button as I am using it to have a "label" with automatically sizing background texture. At 1664 pixels it should move to a new line, any less will resize everything accordingly. The latter works, however I do not understand how the <wrapmultiline> logic works.

The code above does not result in moving to a new line at 1664 pixels (or a bit less depending on word breaks). Instead it goes to a new line after just a few words, resulting in a width of about a quarter of the set maximum width. Raising the minimum width makes it wider, but I would have to raise it to the maximum width to make full use of the space. And this also makes it take up the whole line if the text is shorter, which defies the entire thing I want to accomplish. It's almost like the maximum is treated as the minimum width.

Is what I want possible at all?
