Not sure what happened but all of the sudden Xbmc is cashing upon launch on my fire TV. I click to launch and it crashes right back to itself.
Any ideas? I rebooted the ftv already.

Backup your userdata folder, then try moving/renaming it so that XBMC creates a new one. If XBMC now opens then there's something funky in the existing userdata folder, and the devs will likely want to see some of the config files. You could even test various things by coping them from the backup to the new userdata folder, so see which file it is.

How do you delete the user data folder on the fire tv?

On the same menu where you launch xbmc.. Clear data and cache.

I'd sideload a filemanger app on the FireTV. Like ES File Explorer.

Does xbmc start if you retry?
There is a bugging issue on Android, with different boxes, that it randomly crashes on start, but always in the same manner. It seems to happen more often after a reboot.
It's not an Xbmc crash proper, it is in libc, but obviously induced by xbmc.
Never succeeded in finding a root cause.
Usually, relaunching works fine.
