      It shouldn't re-install the Repo so long as Kodi shows as not installed from RetroPie 4.x as it only updates packages that are installed. (It works this out based on folders in /opt/retropie so it will ignore Jessie Kodi)

        I have updated the Kodi script so removal via RetroPie-Setup will remove pipplware repository.

          Actually it does (checked this before upgrading and it clearly said KODI wasn't installed). I've dealt with this several times removed pipplewares repro before updating to make sure. I hope you now understand my initial anoyance.

              @toto probably because you still had the repository installed. I don't understand your annoyance. We do this for free and have been trying to help. Perhaps you can try and be a little more understanding

                I understand that and I really appreciate the efforts of everybody involved with RetroPie.

                But you really can't say I'm not understanding. I haven't been rude, even posted a solution that works fine and even took the time to try it again and provide you people with a log file (which is on it's way as soon as I can find a good solution, something where I don't have to sign up. Any other suggestions?).

                So please don't say that, maybe you should be more understanding.

                          BTW BuZz, the KODI logfile is in as requested and I just spent a couple of hours on this forum trying to be as helpfull as I can be in my sparse free time.

                          Now tell me again I could be a little more understanding...

                            Please remove my account, reading back I see that some of my points/comments are totaly ignored.

                            People only respond to specific red flags and ignore the rest of my posts (see several examples above). I've just seen that I've been downvoted by the fanboys (who can't even lace their own binary shoes) for just pointing out a flaw in the handling of updating/upgrading KODI.

                            BuZz reply didn't go to well with me, it seems he isn't to bothered to reply to me or even read my posts correctly. I've done my part but I can't be bothered anymore.

                            I might just remove RetroPie and setup my own system the way I like it. It isn't that complicated, anybody with a couple of brain cells can do it and it's more rewarding!

                            So, pretty please remove my account.
