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?

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

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.

@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.
