Brand new Kodi and RPi user. Sorry. 
There's a switch to delay Kodi booting until networking is established. While attempting to bring up my first time install via WiFi, I turned this switch on and apparently forgot to reset it.
I eventually established Internet connectivity via hardwired ethernet and subsequently installed a VPN. All seemed well.
However, Kodi later crashed I had to disconnect the power to restart. Now Kodi won't boot. I get nothing. Just a black screen. Not even the rainbow square that I saw when the RPi booted.
I suspect it's that software switch interfering with the Kodi boot process because the VPN isn't established until Kodi is running.
I see net traffic on the ethernet connector on the RPi, but I don't think Kodi is convinced that it's connected to the network yet, so that configuration stops it from loading.
Any ideas? No backup of the SD card.
Is there a configuration file on the microSD card that I can edit to change this setting back to default?
