For yet another time my box has updated kodi to 17.6 and then it fucks up. Its like someone is holding a button on the remote and nothing can be done. So i have to uninstall and install 17.5 again. I have checked off auto update in kodi. But is there a place on the box that i need to change so it wont update?
You need to go into settings and then turn off app auto updating
try beta builds of SPMC its a fork of Kodi http://download.semperpax.com/spmc/android-arm/ it's have better codec compatibility with arm devices
I've never used Kodi/SPMC, so forgive me, but what does it have over Plex? I've never had an issue with Plex on either my MiBox or Shield TV.

This is how kodi 17.6 behave. Tried installing from apk and google play
17.6 is running fine on my Mi box. OP, are you using the original Mi box remote?
