it has nothing to do with add ons being old. the screen even freezes without typing a thing

You don't understand how Kodi works. Don't tell me that Kodi addons can't cause crashing and freezes. I'm not some newbie, and there are plenty of information on the web that proves this to be the case also.

This has nothing to-do with Beelink Android TV Media box being defective. Everything to-do with Kodi and using third-party incompatible addons under Kodi 17.x

Uninstall Kodi, and manually delete the Kodi folder with a File Manager and re-install Kodi App from Google Play Store. Then add a source, I bet the very first source would be added without any hiccups.

Got to back PhantOm up on this. Kodi is working pretty much flawlessly, certainly on basic gt1. If you followforum you will release that phantom is by far the most knowledgeable of contributors. I suggest people with Kodi problems look at Kodi and not Beelinks software or hardware.

This information would have been nice a bit earlier, when I've asked about how many Kodi addons you have installed. Anyways moving on..

Do you have Micro SD Card inserted, or other storage devices connected when trying to add sources?

You want help but you expect people to be-able to read minds. The post of yours you've just quoted hadn't answered a thing with regards to addons. "Kodi starts" ~ for the first time after fresh installation? Or the ten thousand time.. no one knows but you...! You have installed several add-ons before an issue appears.

Anyways, your Micro-SD card might be at fault here. Remove the SD Card, and test.
