Kodi crashing when exit (workaround)

The Kodi(xbmc) crashes when exit on non-CEC monitor.

Update the system with “sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade” and reboot.
Then the CEC configuration is disabled in the boot.ini file by default.

  • /media/boot/boot.ini
# --- HDMI CEC Configuration ---
# ------------------------------------------
setenv cecenable "false" # false or true
