Cannot close Kodi 17.3!

Vishera

@AlexMurphy Doesn't really help me. I only have 3 addons.. [removed], and Youtube... and they are all up to date..It does dump a crash log when it attempts to close, but I am not sure what I'm looking for in there.

AlexMurphy

@Vishera Well, I'm sorry I wasn't able to give you a solution with my first reply... What I am saying is that it is not an issue with KODI or RetroPie so the problem is specific to you. If you want to post your log on pastebin or similar site I'll look at it when I get a chance and see if anything unusual jumps out at me.

Vishera

@AlexMurphy It's just weird. When I first installed Kodi yesterday it quit just fine. Came back to it today and now it won't shut down.

Here's the pastebin

Hopefully I can get this resolved.. it's a royal PITA.

@Vishera First thing I notice is you have the 4.4.50 kernel. The latest is 4.9.24. Update using sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. Nothing really jumping out, it actually seems to shutdown pretty cleanly. The only thing I see is the error from YouTube. Uninstall this addon and try again. Also try turning off uPNP server.

Vishera

@BuZz Sorry! forgot to remove that hah

Vishera

@AlexMurphy I'll try updating the kernel and removing youtube. I guess all else fails I uninstall Kodi and re-install? would that even make a difference?

Vishera

@AlexMurphy I removed the youtube addon, and updated the Kernel.. STILL the same issue. I can't exit out of Kodi without having to send a reboot command..

Here's my new crashlog

AlexMurphy

@Vishera Try turning
10:51:11.399 T:1720972208 NOTICE: INDIGO NOTICE: SCRIPT BLOCKER ON
10:51:11.471 T:1720972208 NOTICE: INDIGO NOTICE: Checking for Malicious scripts

this off.

@Vishera Did you do a fresh install of Krypton 17.x or did you update from Jarvis 16.x? I ran into issues doing an update and opted for a fresh install from scratch just to be sure.

Vishera

@AlexMurphy Still crashes. It was a fresh install of Krypton

Vishera

@AlexMurphy how would I delete kodi so I can do a fresh install? Just through the retropie setup? or is there a deeper way to remove any trace of kodi files?

BuZz

@Vishera rm -rf ~/.kodi will uninstall all user installed kodi files.

AlexMurphy

@Vishera Yeah, you need to totally obliterate any trace of KODI, including the userdata folder as it will remain even after an uninstall. Run sudo apt-get remove --purge kodi from the CLI first.

Vishera

I removed kodi using sudo apt-get remove --purge kodi and then ran rm -rf ~/.kodi

I then went back in and re-installed.. as soon as I open it up, my add ons and everything are there so something didn't get completely removed. I tried exiting, and it worked once. then after that the same crap keeps happening. This is getting very annoying that I seem to be the ONLY person with this issue and that it isn't working like it should be.. hmmm

AlexMurphy

@Vishera That's odd. Try specifically deleting the userdata directory. sudo rm -f /home/pi/.kodi/userdata

Vishera

@AlexMurphy Someone on a FB group suggested disabling the CEC adapter input, I disabled it, rebooted and it seems to be working now. weird. but hey if it's working that's all that matters whew

AlexMurphy

@Vishera Very odd. I have had no issues with CEC since I tweaked it a bit. I'll check my settings later and post them. It"s handy being able to use the TV remote sometimes.

Vishera

@AlexMurphy I use Kore which is an android app to control Kodi through wifi.

AlexMurphy

@Vishera If you don't need it and it works as a fix then keep it off.
