Bug report
Describe the bug

Kodi-20.0-Nexus_alpha1, alpha2 and alpha3 crashes on start-up on Amazon Fire TV Basic Edition:
Model : AFTT
Hardware : mt8127
SW : Fire OS 5.2.9.1 (681771820)

Here are a logcat logs from the device, where the crash seems related to this FATAL EXCEPTION

--------- beginning of crash
E/AndroidRuntime( 8096): FATAL EXCEPTION: main
E/AndroidRuntime( 8096): Process: org.xbmc.kodi, PID: 8096
E/AndroidRuntime( 8096): java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: dlopen failed: cannot locate symbol "__gxx_personality_v0" referenced by "libass.so"...

The crash happens immediately after the "first run" phase is completed, Being an Android 5.1.1 no run-time permissions are asked.

The issue is present on 2 different Amazon Fire TV Basic Edition I own. To be sure I also made a factory reset on one of them but nothing changed.

Expected Behavior

Kodi should start w/o problems.

Actual Behavior

Kodi-20.0-Nexus_alpha1, alpha2 and alpha3 crash on start-up on Amazon Fire TV Basic Edition

Possible Fix

Issue could be related to the upgrade, done in Nexus, of libass library from VERSION=0.14.0 to VERSION=0.15.2, but not sure.

I'm available to provide support for further debugging.

I've tried running Kodi on Android 5.1 and confirmed that it crashes at startup when loading the library

20b1 crashes on FireTV 4K during cache clearing on startup. Clean install or upgrade. Makes no difference. It will install but not run. I've noticed others reporting the same:
