kodi opens but does not start'

[chippy]

hi guys, as the title says when i open kodi in my plugins it shows briefly then returns me to the plugins it appears the kodi is corrupted. so i was wondering if anybody has experienced the same problem and how they fixed it or if anybody has any ideas. also is it possible to delete the kodi plugin then re-instate with a new flash? i am using a vu solo2 running the latest black hole 303 c. i have re-flashed the box and everything else is working well.
thank you chippy.

No problems here, running the latest blackhole 3.0.3., on my VU+ Duo 2.
I go to Menu, Plugins, Kodi, and select it, it does go back to the menu, then a few seconds later it launches Kodi, and gives me the options.
Have you get any external devices connected?
Have you added any other plugins?

hi micha, nope nothing added or taken away, just stopped working.

And this still happens, following a clean installation, with nothing else added, no backups, or channel lists?
I take it the receiver is connecting to the network?
Are you using a wired connection, or wireless?

Does the last statement mean it was connecting, but suddenly stopped working?
I would have assumed that a fresh installation would have solved the problem, unless it has anything to do with your ISP/router.

Do you have an internal Hard Drive, and have you set up any media library?

If your Kodi worked before try an earlier version of BH might help. Do a clean install and don't enter your personal backup barebones in other words.

thanks micha and cannydo for your help and suggestions. im going to go back to an earlier b/h and see if that fixes it. will update when done.

Try this telnet command, in case you have any hidden/corrupt kodi files on your HDD.

rm -rf /hdd/.kodi

well ive tried everything i can think of and been advised, but i am still having no luck. i have even changed to open blackhole version 06 with exactly the same results which does seem strange. perhaps its something to do my stb and not the image. if anybody has any ideas regarding what could be wrong i would be gratefull. satcat i tried your suggestion but it didnt show up anything. many thanks chippy

i have fixed the problem. often helps when you leave a problem for a while then return with some fresh thinking. i had altered some aspects of my vpn which i hadn't realised was causing the kodi to malfunction. so thanks again
