Hi All,

I have the following issue,15.2 runs as expected however 16.0, 16.1 and 17.0 all crash immediately on startup.

My setup is as follows:
Gigabyte Technology H97M-D3H with onboard Intel® HD Graphics 4400
Windows 7 SP1, 64-bit version 6.1
Intel® Core™ i3-4150 cpu @ 3.50GHz
8.00GB RAM
DX11

I have removed all usb devices (except the keyboard), removed and uninstalled a Gigabyte GT730 graphics card for fault finding, deleted the "Addons27.db", carried out multiple uninstall and fresh installs of Kodi 17.0, yet Kodi still Crashes Immediately on Startup!

The following link is to a zipped googledrive file with crashlogs and .dmp files for a clean install of 17.0 as I am unable to run debugging from the GUI. I have followed the "How to generate a Debug Log Advanced Instructions" from the http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=42708 / SECTION 3 - DEBUG LOG with the advancedsettings.xml for everything in the userdata folder.

the majority of the logs end similar to the below extract.....

Thanks in advance.

A number of people have encountered this issue after upgrading from Jarvis to krypton caused by a zero-byte Addons27.db file in the profile directory. Your kodi log file will likely refer to it if that's the case, so you can just delete that file and kodi should start properly.

I hat to do this to you but comparing my 8 year old Radeon 5770HD to your graphic card (http://www.game-debate.com/gpu/index.php...0%20Mobile) and I don't think I have to say too much more, other than to note your debug log stalls when trying to make the display. Your Geforce is in the same category. I should note there is plenty of users using this kind of set-up with a Linux based o/s without issue.

Due to changes in code it may be possible that older hardware video cards are no longer supported. If starting of Kodi fails then try upgrading to last available drivers (or beta drivers). Supported hardware (wiki) https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product...phics-4400

Possible work-a-around using and external player with playercorefactory.xml should you find a satisfactory player. As a side note, please don't upload logs as zip files (no one likes the idea of what could be hiding in a archive to surprise the down-loader) and logs are never a good idea in the forums.

After I found where the "profile" directory was (C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\Database) and deleted Addons27.db My crash issue was resolved.

Thanks for the advice.

Deleting Addons27.db resolved my issue as well. Also, the file was recreated when I ran Kodi but has caused no further issues.
