          @Turnster Which peripherals do you have connected? Mine does the same when my PS4 controller is plugged.

              There is reports that the PS4 gamepads, with the latests kernels/bluetooth stacks doesn't work in Kodi. Hopefully it will work in Kodi 17 which will have oficial gamepads support for the Raspberry Pi.
              Till then you can disable gamepads support in System -> System -> Input Devices, that way you should not need to disconnect that gamepads.
