Zgemma crashes

[dave760]

Hi guys I got a new zgemma that keeps crashing when I press the menu button on the remote any ideas how I can fix this any help is grateful

Was the system setup for you when you got it ?

 

[dave760]

Yes I tried to install Kodi via plugins and since then I crashed every time I press menu. Was running great before hand

 

[siilver]

Then we might know what the problem could be then

then you need to remove it
as you can't press menu, if you press blue this should give a different way to getting too a plugins menu

 

[dave760]

I tried that removed it but still does same. need to reinstall everything I think

 

[kiddac]

have you installed any skins or 3rd party hacks lately.

 

[siilver]

Have you ftp the kodi folder of your system. Dump it. As I think if you uninstall it some items still remain

 

[thomaskieron]

does it crash as soon as ypu press the blue button or when you try and access something from within that menu?

make sure you reformat your usb stick to fat32
run the reformat process 3 or 4 times just to make sure.
Download Woosh's basebuild and flash it, with the usb in the rear port, then upgrade online from there.
Woosh's thread has a comprehensive guide to the install / upgrade process as well to guide you along.

All sorted re flashed etc ,backed up , never touching it again. amazing what can be done after a few beers

 

[siilver]

Us a happy ending.
i find extra plugins just cause to many problems
keep it simple and basic

 

[cactikid]

why cant people just do simple channel list abm and epg,going overboard just shows boxes cant take the strain?

 

[siilver]

I don't think it's the box not taking the strain. The plugins are not fully written for the box. Some writes good for enigma2 and tests it on his box, there not all the same some work some don't sadly

as said keep it simple and it's a great box


ps to learn is to mess about and break it that's how you learn

 

[thomaskieron]

If you really need Kodi, spend the thirty quid or so for an Android TV box.
You haven't the ballache of it crashing every five minutes and there are so many more plugins available for it on the Android platform.
