KODI 21 crashes when trying to install DIGGZ on Firestick

@JerryJ — Wed, 02 Apr 2025 02:14:45 +0000

That’s GREAT! Super news!! We all really learn new stuff every time we go through this kind of stuff.

BTW, you brought up the “Check the log for more info”. I’ve dealt with this on several occasions and finally decide to look up how to do that.

Per Google search:
The “Check the Log for More Information” error in Kodi usually appears when there is an issue with the add-ons or repositories installed on your Kodi system. Here are some steps to help you fix Kodi error in 2023:

Check your internet connection: Ensure that your Kodi system is connected to the internet and has a stable connection.

Clear Kodi cache: Navigate to the Kodi settings, click on “File Manager,” and then click on “Profile Directory.” Select the “Database” folder and delete the “Textures13.db” file.

Disable Add-ons: Try disabling all add-ons installed on your Kodi system and then re-enable them one at a time to determine which add-on is causing the error.

Update Kodi: Ensure that you are running the latest version of Kodi, as some older versions may have compatibility issues with certain add-ons.

Check Log file: Access the Kodi log file by navigating to “Settings” > “System” > “Logging” and set the “Enable setting bug Logging” option to “On.” Then, reproduce the error and check the log file for any error messages or details on what may be causing the issue.

Reinstall Add-ons: If the error persists, try uninstalling and reinstalling the add-ons that are causing the issue.

Clear Data and Cache of Kodi: If none of the above steps work, try clearing the data and cache of Kodi by navigating to “Settings” > “Apps” > “Kodi” > “Storage” > “Clear Data” and “Clear Cache”.

If the error still persists, you may need to seek assistance from the Kodi community or technical support.

Welcome to the insider @parveez . All you have to do to attach a screenshot is to select the icon I circled and click on it, then that will open your screenshot folder or pic folder and you can find the pic you want to use, click on it and let it upload then send your post.

@parveez — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 22:46:14 +0000

somehow I load the build guys! I did so many things I don’t remember which one was the silver bullet but here I go, After hot spot failed I did what you suggested I reset the modem didn’t work at first reset the stick but felt to do to do resetting on both several times couple of times it did try to load but froze at that point when aske if you want to load a build I could see the skin on the let side of the screen for the first time and at that time i thought it could be done unlike previous times when skin wasn’t there, eventually I did go to system within kodi deleted the Chef reinstalled it again after that voila, I think deleting and loading the chef within the kodi did take care of it for me and with a weird problem started with the skin was gone without me doing something wrong I have to mention that after loading the Xenon free build I didn’t have to choose and install a skin! Thanks to JP and Jerry to sticking with me and coming up with ideas and suggestions my hat off to you guys. BTW I wanted to attach some screen shots from the whole exigence but I couldn’t attach them in here. now I can get to and watch the rest of Reacher Lol
Thanks again!!

@BigDave — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 18:23:50 +0000

Simple solution … dump Kodi … use Stremio with Torrentio !
Concentrate on 1080 and 720 with less than 1.5 GB data, you’ll be surprised at what you can watch without any Debrid service.
Flix Vision also picks up well without debrid especially using their dowloads !

TIVO Stream 4K in Canada

@Pez149 — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 18:15:42 +0000

Tivo’s website specifically warns buyers that their 4K streamer is a for US use product only.
It can only be used in the US.

That doesn’t mean others haven’t found a work around.

Hello Miki, I thought about that but, I do not know anyone in the US. I did ask their customer service if I could use an American address and she said the unit would probably not work. I was not so sure about that as I would just use a USA city on my VPN.

How to Install RBTV77 App on Firestick & Android TV

@Timwort — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 15:23:29 +0000

I did a little work on this. The app apparently blocks access from within the US, maybe other countries but I can’t say.

It will work in the US with a VPN, I used ProtonVPN connected to Netherlands and was able to stream the various links including US sports.

I use an ad blocker, TDUK’S encrypted DNS utility on my Android/Google TV devices and set the same manually on my Firestick using ADB.

If anyone wants it I’ll post the ADB commands.

The app has a pornographic ad occasionally so if you are sensitive to that, kids etc, you will want to block ads or at least beware that it might pop up.

Addresses to you Miki only because you were the last to post.

Not much different than Amazon. In order to get the best APPs and the best options a friend allowed me to use his U.S.A. address to set up an Amazon U.S. account, effectively bypassing the account restrictions on the Cdn Amazon Library and giving me full access to apps I wanted.

This has been a Tivi/Canada thing for years. I’ve seen posts say they just use a VPN and a fake US address to set it up then have no problems. Just like overseas ONN users do.

Surfshark not working in US and Canada

@kelbro — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 14:31:21 +0000

Thanks for the updates. I will pose this question again to my IPTV provider. It’s odd that it works when connecting through all countries outside the US.

Update: my IPTV provider (big operator, highly rated here) keeps waffling when I ask if US VPN sites are blocked and keeps suggesting other countries. All of the other countries that they suggest do work. Not sure what to make of that kind of response.

Surfshark not working in US and Canada

@TROYPOINT — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 13:13:04 +0000

Reply back from trusted contact at Surfshark was pretty straightforward.

“Surfshark does not block IPTV services.”

There are IPTV services out there that do block VPN usage for various reasons. Some only allow you to access their service from one IP address…your home. Others push a specific VPN and get paid to do so while blocking all others.

My suggestion is to either find a new IPTV service or VPN. I would be cautious about using a new VPN as same service may end up blocking that VPN in the future as well. If you do choose to try a different IPTV service, get a trial account so you can ensure that your VPN works properly with that provider.

Thanks for all who commented on this post.

Firesticks (Critically Low on Storage alert)

@Avid08 — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 12:19:44 +0000

Buy a decent device and you won’t have those issues you mentioned but in general Amazon don’t what users to be installing third party apps.
I would also think Kodi is included as well because it’s not available on their App Store and lots of users don’t just use it for local legally obtained media.
Kodi gets a bad name because of third party streaming add-ons and it has been well publicised.
Which is the point I was making.

@Pincer2014 — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 10:54:15 +0000

Off topic, my Firestick has updated and Amazon have decided to rearrange my settings menu. The only app I have is Kodi, plus the nonsense that cannot be deleted. Also when Kodi crashes (more often now), it reverts to ‘allow unused apps to be automatically deleted’, which I have turned off. I hate Amazon firesticks, in my opinion, you buy the damn thing, you own it… not you buy it and they can do what they want with it. Its like buying a car, then when you are asleep, the manufacturer comes and changes the colour, because they want to… its a complete farce, do the fat cats not make enough money? Try getting rid of the people who come up with these sneaky updates!!! Rant over

I have a usb storage attached for recording on Tivimate.

Firesticks (Critically Low on Storage alert)

@Lsredbird47 — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 04:00:07 +0000

Im sorry about the Surfshark and Tivimate statement. I meant to say the critically low storage window says never used. I use both of them all the time.

Here’s what I have
Installed on my firestick and what critically low storage says about each:
analiti never used
DefSquid never used
Disney+ never used
Downloader. Never used
Hulu. never used
Netflix. never used
Peacock never used
Sportsfire never used
Surfshark never used
Tivimate not more than
120 days
Tubi never used
VPN privacy dot not used more than 120 days
VLC not used more than 120 days

Amazon apps say never used, not used more than 120 days and 4 of them give me MB or kb for them. As you can see as far as Amazon is concerned I haven’t really used my firestick lately. I never had this problem with any of my other Firesticks just this new 4k max 2nd generation.

I due clear my cache and force stop everyday. On some of the Amazon apps that I don’t use, I clear the cache, the data then force stop.
I hope I’ve answered your question about what apps I use.

I have a usb drive connected to use for recording on Tivimate.
I hope I gave you enough information to help me with this problem.
Thank you for your time in asking questions and for your time at reading this lengthy reply.
Lsredbird

All the normal Amazon apps are on there. Before I left this evening I turned the firestick off. When I returned home all the app are sorted by recency.

Does AdGuard Free actually work?

@Gullzway — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 03:54:42 +0000

Not quite. I run Adguard Home with custom block lists on my router, Flint 2.

Also have Amazon update IP’s blocked so my remaining Firesticks can’t update and disable alternate home launchers.

Firesticks (Critically Low on Storage alert)

@JerryJ — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 02:26:38 +0000

Many have abandoned the Firestick due to low internal storage, issues. And Amazon has a lot of bloat stuff that you probably don’t use, Anyhow, it would help if we knew what you have or were loading on your stick. Is it a build, addons, etc? Also, do you clear your cache after use?

And one of the things that you said is kinda confusing. " I never use Surfshark and Tivimate but those are on all the time."

Yes. more RAM would be nice. but it does offer DTS support in the Dune Mediacenter App. That’s something the ONNs and others don’t offer. It all depends on what you are looking for. The biggest downer to me is it seems that the boot loader is locked so no CoreELEC or other alternates.

@JerryJ it seems either his device, vpn or isp is blocking him.

@parveez do you have a mobile hotspot for your phone? If not, can you bring your device to someone and use their wifi?

@JerryJ — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 01:15:34 +0000

parveez, the message from the Diggz site, doesn’t seem to be very helpful at all.

I apologize, I’ve never used builds so I’m very little help.

The things that I would check would be how much space you have available for internal memory. Firesticks are notorious for running out of space quite easily. And also check that you have the source url correct as this is a common error (don’t ask me how I know this).

Jerry,
Per your suggestion i did post on Diggz team but the reply i got didn’t make sense here is what i got
" Only thing it could be is something with your internet blocking the build server. Try connecting your box to your phones wifi hotspot to test. Or figure out how to disable your routers security filter. I never had any problem with what he described and don’t know what to make out of that! what do you think?

Ad-free APKs for Firestick

@sktn77a — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 21:55:26 +0000

I use the modified AdGuard 4.9.32 ad blocker from APKTime on my OS7 and OS8 Firesticks but have several OS6 devices (Firestick 4k Gen 1) on which it won’t install (get a “parsing error” when I try). So I installed the regular version (4.8.32 is the last one that will install) which installs on the Gen 1 4k stick for the 7 day trial. After 7 days, it’s supposed to revert to AdGuard Free but mine wont load when I try to run it. just takes me to a login page which errors out before I can log in. Cant run it so can’t get to any settings to see what might be going on.
Anybody use AdGuard Free on their Gen 1 4k sticks and getting it to work???
EDIT: There are several posts on the internet with exactly the same issue so there’s something going on here
