Bummer @JerryJ I remember seeing posts a while back that the ONN boxes were having problems with Android 14. My update went through and I’ve not experienced any issues. Have you tried restarting the ONN 4K Pro? Every now and then KODI will not open and I’ve found a simple restart of the box fixes that
Oh, Jerry, I forgot to tell you in the AM9 thread! I was experiencing the same cut outs/offs on my Buzz P6UL. It turned out to be the HDMI cable. I picked a high spec and quality cable on Amazon and it has been OK since.
For all, if you are using an old HDMI cable, or the one that came with a box, you should probably upgrade it!

SoloWarrior, thank you for the suggestion. I do tend to forget to completely power off my 3 boxes so that is a great tip. We did have a 5 hour power outage on the December 31st, so all of the boxes had plenty of time to clean out the cobwebs. I will be more attuned to powering off everything as a routine maintenance.
MNBob, thank you for your suggestion. I know that the manufacturers most likely cheap out on the supplied cables. On all of my boxes I’ve always upgraded the HDMI cable to very highest rated.
But that is a really great suggestion that most would overlook.

I email them. Here is part of their answer re Koda.
“Kodi collects icons from various APKs as URL links. When users click these icons on Kodi’s interface, the corresponding app launches. However, when Kodi collects an auxiliary APK icon from the box, that APK icon is empty. Kodi appears to lack a mechanism for handling empty icons, directly passing a value of 0 to the box system. This causes the system to detect Kodi as problematic and force-close the application.”
The solution seems to wait for something from kodi. Kodi is finicky with what you add.

For what it’s worth. I received the Android 14 update 4 days ago on the KM2 Pro Deluxe. And of course Kodi didn’t care for it. Open the app, 2 seconds passed and it kicks me out. Uninstalled, reinstalled, downloaded Troys fork. Eventually the app didn’t kick me out. So I went into settings and used @Jayhawks659 video setup and all was good until I exited settings. Yep, kicked me out. Yesterday I again installed Kodi (21.3) and this time it didn’t kick me out. Only thing I change was install from 3rd parties. Installed POV and was able to watch a movie last night. Worked great. Don’t know if Kodi addressed the issue or not but just wanted to put in my $.02 worth.

I guess I should install that update that I’ve been dismissing
