Constant crash on Android 5.1

[artkuc]

LOG: http://pastebin.com/QP0MrqR3
I have fresh KODI install, the only plugin i install is PULSAR. I enable all controls, restart KODI and see message saying that PULSAR crashed and tries to restart. This message appears every n seconds. I guess this is because of "only position independent executables (PIE) are supported" on latest android. This must also cause trouble to nexus players, nvidia shield, sony bravia tv's, etc.

Sony TV android 5.1.1 - the same error - Pulsar crashes. It says need Restarting...

Someone has to recompile Pulsar with PIE.

I am an IT guy, not a programmer so I cannot help. That is the key issue

I never heard that anyone have working pulsar on any android platform, so I guess its not android platform or version.

Pulsar works fine on Android 4, just not 5 or 6

IC, yeah I only tried on many platforms of v5 & 6 and it never worked for me. Somebody with skill need to fork it, hoping it will work on latest versions soon.

lcohen999 is totally right, pulsar needs to be recompiled with PIE support. I've tried to recompile it but it always fails on libtorrent, missing some boost headers. I am a programmer but I've never used Go (which this uses) and don't have the time to try to decipher this as it has many dependencies. If steeve or somebody else would be kind enough to point me to some proper setup and build instructions or just compile pulsar with android-16 as target then that would solve it I believe.
