I have installed the Kodi plugin some weeks ago and it did not work for me. So I tried to uninstall it, but got always an error:
I switched off all posibilities in Kodi settings, but it didn’t help. A new install doesn’t work because plugin is already installed. I uninstalled all other plugins (LMS, Squeezelite, Spotify, Spotify Connect 2, Youtobe), but nothing changed.
It is Volumio 2.348 on Pi3B. Installed plugins are Spotify, Spotify Connect2 Exp, LMS, Sqeezelite, YouTube, BackupRestore and Kodi Krypton. Everything works fine except Kodi, which resists all uninstalling efforts.
Next step would be to set it up from the scratch and then restore a backup I made yesterday. But it would be nice just to uninstall Kodi.
scp to your Volumio ( i use WinSCP) and delete the kodi folder in /data/plugins/miscellanea.
Then reboot the PI - after that you’re able to run another installation of the plugin
Should be the correct version, very strange… I just tested that version again. Installation was good, took a while, but succeeded and uninstall too this also took a while.
I maintain about 30 Volumio installations and therefore did a lot of the Kodi plugin setups.
What i can say is - repeat deleting the mentioned kodi folder as often as necessary and retry the setup.
It seems it downloads something that isn’t reliably available all the time.
I also had the case that on one day there was no chance to get it running and the next day the setup was o.k. on my first try.
Would be nice if the uninstall routine would also work if the setup was not successful.
Thank you Sajato for this great plugin. Do you think the uninstaller could be improved to uninstall - and if not possible just delete the mentionioned folder.
Where can one find the setup log ?
@qrumba: don’t give up - it will work this way. You don’t need to delete the other folders. It also works with other plugins.
Thanks for the support!
I can imagine the repo not being stable, since it’s a custom repo. I’ll try to add some logic to the uninstall script to make sure deleting the plugin will always succeed.

Which means it’s not really in the script, but maybe some compatibility issue when running the script through Volumio.
Just now I tried to install Kodi again and it worked. I restarted Volumio and uninstalled Kodi immediatly and it worked.
/data/plugins/miscellanea is gone, but /home/kodi and /data/configuration/miscellanea/Kodi arer still there (owned by kodi and therefore not deleteable by user volumio).
I don’t own an Odroid, so if it’s not running on the same ARM processor you need to find a ppa which supports odroid for installation.
The current ppa only supports the ARM versions for Raspberry Pi afaik.
Uhm no odroid C2 run a diffrent arm cpu… s905x if i m right…
now the plugin was installed and looked okay… but i could not get kodi installed… at the end i had een error code 1 and saw disk full… but that
isnt posseble ( 32GB ) clean volumio2 install…
