Go to setting (the two cogs) on the main boot menu, now go other and more setting and storage check your memory here if its nearly full delete something and then clear cache for all apps aswell. After you've done this reboot and try again and see if it works.

Not sure why its done that....
1st to clear cache for all app go to storage and on that page go to cache and then click on it and clear.
Now to the other if you watch a movie it should only stream ahead a little, if it streams to far its set to zero cache and that can cause problems.
Now the only thing you can do is to go setting, other, more setting and this time apps and scroll down to Kodi, then force stop and then clear data.
Go back out and restart your box, now go back to Kodi and try and run the droidbox wizard if it will let you. If it does happy days if not then there's a thread on here about what to do.
If you do manage to get it running again check how far its streaming if its to far let me no and we will sort it.
Also keep an eye on your memory as it soon fills up. Hope this helps and I'm off now till later on so Good Luck

Just check its set up ok, nothing to worry about. If its not playing ok just leave it and enjoy, just keep an eye on the memory and clear cache once a week. You can also in the main boot up menu press the menu button on your remote and hold you should now get 4 different menu pics to choose from. If you keep hold you should get a rocket up clearing some space to. You can do that any where even in Kodi....I prefer using openelec as its seem smoother.
Enjoy and hope the buffering has stopped now .
