Stop Kodi 14.0 via command line
#1
I'm following some steps in the wiki to generate an edid.bin file for my fresh install of Kodi, and Step 3 ask to stop xbmc. This command seems to be outdated, as it no longer works. I've tried the obvious replacing xbmc with kodi, and I've googled around, but I haven't found a simple update to this command.

Code:
sudo stop xbmc

Can anyone tell me what this should be to get kodi to stop?

Thanks!

when all else fails:
Code:
sudo killall -9 kodi.bin

So that did kill Kodi, but unfortunately, it immediately recovered and reloaded.

That said, it seems that
Code:
sudo stop lightdm
still works. I thought I tried it before, but I guess not.

In any case, custom edid.bin has been created and my hdmi handshake issue appears to be solved.

Though ultimately not the solution, I still appreciate the help! Smile

Cheers!
