Any reason of why my freshly installed Kodi crashes when I'm streaming
or stopping a video?
Hello, I freshly installed Kodi (latest stable version) like 5 days ago
and have only installed minimum stuff such as;
**Skin:** * Nimbus * Fen-tastic
**Video add-on:** * Fen Light * Umbrella
**Program:** * EZ maintenance+. * A4ksubtitles
The issue is when I stream something using Fen Light, everything goes
smoothly. But sometimes (or majority of the time), Kodi just crashes out
of the blue. It also happens sometimes if I pause the video or stop it.
Could someone please help me with and see what the issue might be? It
crashed for me a couple of minutes ago when I stopped the stream and
returned to the menu. I saw it loading when I returned to the home menu
and then just boom, crashed again. I haven't launched Kodi again since I
know you need some kind of log to see what the issue is.
************************************ **NEW UPDATE** I think I found the
issue of all these crashing... The crashing is caused by the **Search
button** on the home page menu on both Nimbus and Fen-tastic. If I
search for a movie/TV show using that search button and watch a movie
(using Fen-Light in this case), and then after a few minutes, whenever i
stop the video and then return back to home page using the backspace,
that's when Kodi just crashes.
If I however use a Search widget and search for a movie from there and
do the same steps, everything works great. So it has to be the search
button for some strange reason. Does anyone knows how to contact the
developer of the skins or if anyone can confirm if their Kodi also
crashes when following these steps:
1. Use Fen-tastic skin and search for a movie/TV show (I used Fen-Light)
using the search button from homepage. 2. Watch that movie for a couple
of minutes. 3. Stop the video and then use backspace to return to the
homepage. 4. Did it crash?

log for both Kodi and Kodi.old * Kodi:

|I’d think the Kodi.old could be the right option, otherwise, put all
|those files in a separate folder then trigger the crash again. See
|which log files are generated & link those to the post.

|I think Kodi.old is the old one. I believe the correct one is
|"Kodi.log" since The time on Kodi.log is literally like 15 minutes
|ago. The time here is 10:32 now🤔 But yeah I will do that and move
|all those files into another folder and see if I can trigger the
|crash again

|Kodi.log is for the current session. Kodi.old is the log file for
|the previous session. So if Kodi crashed & you launched it again,
|the old file will show the crash. You can provide both to be safe
|if you prefer.

|I’d try increasing cache buffer memory size. Yours is currently 20mb.
|With 16gb of ram, your freemem should support much more.

|I can't help but it's best to post any issues you have (with logs like
|you did) in the respective githubs so if you had fen light issue, you
|could post here [https://github.com/Tikipeter/tikipeter.github.io/is
|sues](https://github.com/Tikipeter/tikipeter.github.io/issues) and
|wait for the Developer to look when they have the time

|That's the thing, I don't know if it's from Fen light Addon or from
|the Skin. I'm going to try to recreate my steps since it always
|crashes when I return to home page after I stopped a video, but this
|time without widgets

|you could see if it's the skin by using default Estuary You used
|widgets? you should mention that in the post

|Ahh sorry I'm still new with all these widgets😅 But I think I
|found the issue. It's the search button on both Nimbus and Fen-
|tastic
