Updated Kodi to 17.3 – Receiving exception message upon exit

Hello Community!

This thread is specific to the latest version of RetroPie running on a Raspberry Pi 3 B+.

I recently performed an update of RetroPie and all operating system level updates.

One update was for Kodi from 17.1 to 17.3; after updating to Kodi 17.3 the following message appears upon exiting Kodi (Power Button > Exit) which causes a brief pause before returning to EmulationStation:

  • Exception SystemExit in (function _remove at 0x66bc1870) ignored

It’s important to note that the same message appears when you relaunch Kodi.

So, the following questions come to mind:

  • Could the issue stem from how EmulationStation is opening Kodi?
  • Does anyone know if this is an issue specific to Kodi?
  • Is this an issue with RetroPie (and its updated components)?
  • Is this is an issue with the underlying operating system (and its updated components)?

I look forward to anyone’s comments or suggestions; I’ve posted a similar topic/thread on RetroPie’s forum.

Thank you!
