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
