Problem with KODI "Version Check" and Autostart

[oesel]

Hi together,

yesterday I have installed KODI on my raspberry and allowed autorun for this program.
KODI started successfully, but after a few seconds it shows the following message "Version Check: Using 18.7 stable while 18.9 is available. A new stable version of Kodi is available. Visit http://kodi.tv for more information."

There is an OK-button, but I can't click it.
The keyboard has no function (like the TAB-key to jump to the OK button) and the mouse didn't work, too.

Furthermore, as I have accepted autorun for KODI I cannot stop this process (like esc or F12 to jump into BIOS by a standard PC).

Can anybody help me, how I can reset the autorun function and how I can accept the "Version Check"-message or update KODI to the latest stable version.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi,

you could login to command line using SSH and open dietpi-config > 9 : AutoStart Options to remove Kodi from AutoStart. And Kodi 18.7 is the latest stable version on Raspberry OS.

And if you're just wanting Kodi (and not anything else) then maybe consider LibreElec or OSMC as alternatives.

Both are packaged versions of Kodi plus enough OS behind it to run it (and only it, at least in the case of LE - OSMC can support a bit more).
