Yes, I've given up on it too! It started off well but the last few nightly builds, and the official release,  have all crashed. Go back to 17.4 release.

Make sure you install the Kodi Backup app this time.

I tried uninstalling 17.5 and then reinstalling it from Google Apps. It still didn't work  >:(

Catch 22. If you have a backup of your Library keep it. If you haven't got a backup of your Library you can't get in to 17.5 to make one  :-\

It's not just us! On the Kodi Form users with Nvidea Shield are getting the same problems!!!!

I would just wait until someone comes up with a fix?

Kodi Official: Fixes done in 17.5 release:

Joysticks: Fix accelerometers preventing screensaver
More robust way of handling audio output on variety of Android devices
Fix playback of DVD file over network on Linux
Update to FFmpeg 3.1.11
Fix up and down buttons on ir remotes with macOS High Sierra
Added latest apple devices to allow retina support
Fix not being able to add content manually to videolibrary
Fix power message handling for CEC
Fix jumping timeline while switching channel groups in Guide window

How do I do that?

You can look at the Kodi Wiki but, as this was written by sad nerds, it is far too brief and unusable for normal people!!!

What gets backed up:

*User Addons - Addon's you've downloaded
*Addon Data - Settings associated with your addons
*Database - The SQLite Databases
*Playlists - Your playlist folder
*Thumbnails/Fanart - downloaded images
*Config Files - sources.xml, guisettings.xml, advancedsettings.xml, etc
*Up to 2 non-Kodi directories on your local system (optional)

Before you install Kodi Backup you need to create a folder on your hard disk to store these backup files.

CREATE A BACKUP FOLDER

You only need to do this once!

Click on Kodi "Tools" icon (the wheel on the top-right)

Click on "File Manager"

Click on your HiMedia HDD (not the SDCard!)

Press the "Menu" button on your remote

Select "Make new folder" and press "OK"

Name your folder "Kodi Backups"

Go back to the Kodi main menu and highlight "Addons"

Click on the Backup tile that's just been added

Click on "Open settings"

Click on "Browse for remote path"

Click on "Kodi Backup" (or whatever you named the folder)

Click on "OK"

(This will appear as /storage/sda2/Kodi Backup)

Now click on "File Selection"

Select all of the files except the Custom Directories

Click "OK"


TO RUN A BACKUP

Click on the Backup tile

Click on "Backup"

Go away and make a cup of tea/coffee because the backup can take up to 30 minutes!

TO RUN A RESTORE

Click on the Backup tile

Click on "Restore"

A list of Backup appears, named as the date and time of the backup. The most reset backups are at the bottom of the list!

Click on the Backup you want restored

Go away and make a cup of tea/coffee because the restore can take up to 30 minutes

Please tell me that ExtendedInfo Script works on 18. It still doesn't on 17.5.1  :(.

I installed SPMC 17 as you suggested and ExtendedIndfo Script works perfectly there  :). So why can't Kodi get their act together?????
