Hi Wimpy - Kratos is doing the development and supporting over here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=124572&start=75
He has a fix for the hanging issue there, though you can workaround by switching to a different tty and back to 7.
Hmm. that is strangeā¦ I have always thought that KODI Hanging when you Quit was normal? why? because it happens on my desktop on Linux Mint 17.2 (Ubuntu 14.04) and My previous Linux installationsā¦ I always thought this was a Linux issue and just accepted it :-). It does Exit after about a Minute or lessā¦but yesā¦it has always hanged like that for me on my regular Desktops and laptops. I like wolfmanās suggestion to press āā to put it in window mode right before you exit and then just click the X to close the windowā¦for now that works. Now if that works in KODI for Ubuntu MATE on the Pi is a different storyā¦anyone tried it?
at the moment I Dare Not install KODI, simply because I do not have a Testing Fresh install of Ubuntuā¦ the ones I have I worked Really hard on with all the bells and whisltes and donāt have backupsā¦if I were to mess those Up I would be really upsetā¦I am hoping to try cloning my Ubuntu for Pi onto other MicroSD cardsā¦hope it worksā¦ I am going to use CloneZillaā¦I just got to go buy a few more MicroSD cardsā¦and perhaps MicroSD to USB thumb drive adaptors so that CloneZilla sees them as USB flash drives instead of MicroSD cardsā¦I donāt know if that is necessary but just incase.
Hey Snzeā¦so you installed Kratosās KODI .deb? how is it going exactly? I mean graphically is it smooth and Video and sound playing well and all?
I currently can not install it until I do a fresh install of Ubuntu, as I set up two Ubuntu installations with all the bells and whistles for my brotherā¦though funny thingā¦what he wants the most is KODIā¦but I used a seperate MicroSD card for that for the momentā¦Anyhow I need some fresh MicroSD cards to test this myself.
There IS one great benefit to installing it on the Desktopā¦and that is that when you log out of Ubuntuā¦you can choose to Log in with KODIā¦so when you reboot it will always go straight to KODIā¦this is beneficial to me and others because you can set KODI to auoplay a video Playlist or a set of Videos and loop them infintelyā¦plus Having KODI working on the Desktop might have some good side effects. One use is that I would put it in Window mode and play Videos from within it instead of VLC or SMPlayer if those decide not to play a Video well or unsynced.
@Kratos I meant to tag you earlier. We should collaborate 
ļø Do you have Debian source packages?
Debian source packages? Do you mean the actual source, or the packages that I built from the source and uploaded to Google Drive? I am currently working on a black screen bug fix, a bit tied up at the moment though as I am experimenting with Androidā¦
Please see this post for all the gory details.
