      @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?

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

          @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.

            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

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

                @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

                  @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.

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

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

                        aah sorry. I forgot we symlink the config folder to keep configs together. Kodi configs on RetroPie are stored in /opt/retropie/configs/ports/kodi
