Anything out had to load from other repos or external add-ons has nothing to do with what Kodi provides.
EDIT: My bad, seems to be a total network issue.

So trying to add sources in the file manager of kodi...has nothing to do with kodi? I'm not asking about addons. I'm asking why kodi itself isn't communicating with my wireless network. I guess I can erase everything and try to add a source and post that log file.

yup, kodi can't connect to the internet.
go to 'settings > system info > network' and check the info displayed there.

Yea goes from busy to not connected. Check network settings. Mac address goes from busy to nothing. Any ideas on a fix?

Hmm, that's very weird. A long time ago on iOS, Kodi once had a problem where it failed a network check (which was only working for wifi and not for cellular), and it would act like this. That has since been corrected there, but maybe a similar issue is happening here?

There it is. Thank you very much ronie. Proxy server was unchecked. I kept passing right over it because my settings level was still on standard. Changed to advanced went to internet and enabled proxy. Working perfectly

Actually, "enabled" is what should break it. If the setting is enabled but doesn't have anything filled out for the proxy server then the traffic doesn't go anywhere. o.O

Wow. You're right. I had just walked in my house and the wifi is why it was working. At work again and it's down. I disabled the proxy.
