Problem description:
When starting xbian-config addon from menu, splash screen starts showing progress on loading the configuration screen, but after that the screen stays black(empty) only showing the mouse pointer when moved. Only thing to do from that point is restarting xbmc. Apart from this issue everything in Kodi seems to be working well. I have had this issue approx. 2 months now but did not have the time to investigate; maybe due to some update, but that is a wild guess...
Xbian-config command line version is working normally.
There have been no changes in my hardware setup.

How to reproduce:
Problem occurs from any point in the kodi gui where you can start xbian-config

Right now I don't know how I can solve this issue, maybe checking/changing some files manually or reinstalling the addon package(s) (which?)?
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

RE: xbian-config program addon shows black screen
you can just hit back on remote or backspace on keyboard which brings you back to Kodi screen.Than if you start xbian-config again it brings you into it.Im still not sure what causing it

Yes , hitting back on remote works to get back into kodi, so restart of kodi not really needed. Mouse is in this situation not working...
I hope anybody will be able to track the cause of the black screen. Thanks anyway...

I have updated to Kodi 17 including a lot of packages that were available as per 23 of January. The xbian config addon seems to be working again now. So still I don't know why I was having the black screen issue but it is resolved...CoolBig Grin
