      Can you post the contents of /home/pi/.kodi/temp/kodi.log? Be sure to put it in a code block as describe here.

        @Kangool19 said in RetroPie & KODI:

        Hi guys,

        has for some time a Raspberry Pi 3 and for a long time no longer used. Today I wanted to update one or the other and now I have trouble.

        Use RetroPie and have made an update. After that I wanted to start Kodi over RetroPie, unfortunately without success. I uninstalled Kodi and re-added via the package RetroPie.

        Just when I start Kodi it opens a gray window and it looks as if he would try the launch. After a few seconds, I land again in the RetroPie menu.

        What's wrong here? Do you have an idea?

        I receive these message if i try to update Kodi via RetroPie:

        E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

          When i installed Kodi, all i did in a command prompt was: sudo apt-get install kodi

          then i created a file with gedit and only put kodi in the file and i saved it as kodi.sh

          Then i created a folders called kodi inside the roms folder inside RetroPie folder and moved the file kodi.sh into the folder kodi

          Then in the file es_systems.cfg ( witch is in: /home/pi/.emulationstation ) i added kodi to it this way:

          <system>
          <fullname>kodi</fullname>
          <name>kodi</name>
          <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/kodi</path>
          <extension>.sh .SH</extension>
          <command>bash %ROM%</command>
          <platform>kodi</platform>
          <theme>kodi</theme>
          </system>
          

          Then reboot

          So now i have kodi in the console list as all my other consoles and i can start it from there.

          I hope this can help ;)

            @Kangool19 It was probably because we were uploading Kodi 17.3, sorry. Please try again now.

              @Rascas hmmmm now it seems that i have installed Kodi and also could use an update but still the same problem.

              After i restart the system and choose -> PORTS -> KODI the screen goes black and return to RetroPie..... What´s even wrong.

                Try this way instead of ports

                sudo apt-get update
                sudo apt-get install kodi

                    @Kangool19 I updated KODI to 17.3 earlier without any problems. Tell me what you are actually doing and then maybe I can point out what you are doing wrong.

                      Ok just found a solution now it works.

                      Used this way:

                      sudo apt-get update

                      sudo apt-get upgrade

                      sudo apt-get install kodi

                      After that period no problems at all.

                      THX
