Correct, it is nice for certain things but definately not a necessity.

Jup. First thing I did and was surprised (aka amazed) that there is no mention anywhere about uninstalling it. Which is why I consider it a virus. So it would seem... uninstall kodi. Do a fresh install and start over again.
So you will be using17 16.1 is no longer available to my knowledge

Been using 17 since it was released. And again... runs rings around 16. Er... once u dump the new gui. 
Kay did you get the box to hook to the internet? Once you do they will be able to access it and set it up.
I guess I don't understand the problem you are having. With my tv I had problems with HDMI ARC. Vizio sent a new main board to a tech and he came out and replaced it and they sent me a complete new sound system and a return label to send mine back. They should be able to send tech out and get things working. Maybe Samsung is not good.
Of course 16.1 is still available. It just won't be further 'tweaked' by Kodi.
Besides, I maintain da original Kodi xx.x install download file on each of my devices.
@oldbroad so you can't use your tv at all unless it is hooked to the internet. Sounds strange to me. Like I was saying mine is really a monitor not a tv at all. If I want to use the apps on it my tablet is hooked to WiFi and I pull the apps up on that then use Chromecast to cast them via BT to my tv then the tv's processor picks them up and runs them from there. I really don't use that feature because I still have my Roku hooked up but all are hooked to the internet by way of LAN. That is all except my Dish DVR which is hooked to the dish and HDMI to tv. If I wanted to use an antenna I would have to by a tuner.
just checked on one of mines and I was able to install and then uninstall it? if you are still having issues after you can look to see if there's still a folder under userdata
is it a Samsung smart tv? you don't have to but it's the last step in the setup process when you first turn it on, it's trying to connect to the interwebs to verify your Samsung account and check for updates. you can just skip that part though.

Did uninstall, kiba. But then started to get errors all over the place. Seems like it intertwines with all kinds of addons and removing it starts to cause errors everywhere it used to be. So then u have to go into 9 jillion addons and correct them since uninstalling doesn't.
I really just tried it to see what it did. Personally... stupid addon. Doesn't do a thing but track what you did. Not a fan.

Yeah, I used trakt to enable the "my stuff" sections in some of the addons, but that's it. What do the errors say in the log?

Meh. Never paid attention to logz. But re-enabled it and errors went away. Next clean install... it ain't goin back. On da udder hand, I'm not a kodi nut. Use it on occasion but that's... on occasion. Only use maybe a dozen addons. All from about 3 repos. When I first started to use it I think I tried everything and had about 3 zillion repo's and used to scroll 9000 pages to see all the addons.
I utilize Trakt a lot. Great for browsing on the PC and then adding stuff to the watch list. A downside of Kody on an Android TV box is you don't get the descriptive blurb, so not conducive to "surfing". I also use Trakt "my progress" to keep up with series.
It is great if you utilize it, a PITA if you don't. It does take a little investment to get value out of it.

I agree I use it almost constantly. I like being able to look at a movie and see whos in it who wrote and directed and see what others thought of it. I also like to clone other peoples lists so I don't have to do the leg work. I've got a Quentin Tarantino list, Stephen King list, 2016 Academy Awards list plus my own 2 lists.

Look and see who's in it, who wrote, directed etc...? So look. Always could with most addons. Trak isn't needed for that. What others thot of it? Who cares? There's always IMDB for that if u really have to know.
Yep I like it though thats whats important to me. I'm watching some of the winners from last night. Just saw Piper. It is really cute. Only 6 min. Watching Hidden Figures now
Watching the best movie of the year in 1080 5.1DD first stream. The second one Moonlight.
