Ok, I found a way to stop playback using the WebInterface but is there a way to do it from the Kodi menu?
When you click the little open box to the right of the magnifying glass on the top left of the main menu screen this opens a screen for the playlist. In my case it is just an internet radio m3u stream.
I was thinking it should be possible to stop the stream playing from that screen somehow... like maybe left arrow would make the left menu pop out and then you could play/pause/stop the stream from playing there.
Is the Web Interface the only way to stop the m3u file from playing?
Cheers,

Pressing x on a keyboard doesn't stop it?

Thank you both.
I'm using LibreELEC on a Pi running Kodi
My system details:
LibreELEC 9.2.0
Linux Kernel: 4.19.83
Kodi 18.5 (Git:newclock5_18.5-Leia)
At the moment I have a TV but no remote for it so am using the laptop keyboard with the web interface running in Chrome.
Pressing "x" works.
But I'm not able to pull up the OSD menu, which would be nice... With a radio stream playing I press the fullscreen button and from there I tried: m, return, enter... actually every button on my keyboard... but the OSD menu doesn't appear.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Flex

Ah that makes more sense, in order to use the keyboard controls you need a keyboard directly plugged into the Pi which why m won't work in the web interface, guess you were lucky and the the web interface knows what to be with x on the laptop keyboard. If you have a smartphone then could also try using one of the remote apps will also give you control of Kodi for example Kore on Android.
