Kodi is crashing after update to version 5.0.0.191201.

[foltz61]

I updated the pastebin with a debug log.

and copy it here

In the browser, does that "SPECIAL EVENT" group have those symbols before and after the name? or is that just something that showed up when posting on the forum.

[foltz61]

They are in the browser also. I believe they also showed in the channel groups in Kodi when it was working.

Might be worth deleting that group to see if it makes a difference. I wouldn't be surprised if something along the way is not handling those Unicode characters.

[foltz61]

I'll give it a shot. Thanks for your help.

[foltz61]

I deleted that group and others I don't use and it still happens. I think I'll delete the device and add it back to see what happens. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again.

[sub]

You also seem to have a group there with no name or id. Can that be deleted?

Other than and 'SPECIAL EVENTS' all the rest looked fine.

[foltz61]

Deleting the device and adding it back fixed it. Thanks for your help. Sorry I wasted your time by not doing that first.
