SPMC is not supposed to be a standalone player. It is combine. Need to press 3-4 times "Back button" to minimize it. And it crashes every time on exit like Kodi.
I want to use internal (built-in) lightweight player or MX Player.
After checking I see that
MediaCodec library doesnt use amlogic lib for HLS (Http Live Streaming protocol) and some video files that I have locally.
As a result of that, only Kodi (and branches) can use amlogic codec on 16 version because they can load it directly not through MediaCodec.
Since Kodi 17, a support of amlogic codec loading is excluded. Be aware!

If you are stuggling of Kodi (or SPMC) crash, jerking video and other problems with playback
1. Remove Kodi or SPMC you have installed on a box.
2. Download SPMC build I made from this post.
3. Install it.
4. Open Settings and configure "Expert" mode.
5. Enable "amlogic" decoder and disable others.

Enjoy your life!

Changes in this custom SPMC build:
- Crash workaround on exit
- Improved user experience:
  a) If SPMC is launched as a player from external app then it will be minimized on stop or back
  b) Removed "Press Back again to minimize" warning on exit

It seems that KODI team is working on this bug:

http://trac.kodi.tv/ticket/17069

Hope is going to be solved before KODI 17 release....

The link is still ok. Maybe it was temporal problem with yadisk.
Anyway, I publish updated version of SPMC 16.5.2
SPMC 16.5.2 from Andreyh
