This happens if Kodi/XBMC is at a different resolution to EmulationStation. Just change the settings within Kodi to match (usually the highest setting). 
Edit /recalbox/scripts/kodilauncher.sh Change kill $pid to kill -9 $pid
I'm not exactly sure how to do this. I've put my micro sd card into my computer but I can't find those paths/files. Even less sure how i'd do this from the raspberry pi directly..any help? Also..what exactly does this do? Fix the resolution or completely shut down the device when hitting shutdown from xbmc?
I'll try to adjust but will this fix the issue with the controller not responding when quitting kodi/xbmc?
Yes it will.
Use SSH (e.g. Putty) to log into recalbox Username: root Password: recalboxroot type 'nano /recalbox/scripts/kodilauncher.sh' Change kill $pid to kill -9 $pid Press Ctrl+x Press 'y' to save Press 'Enter' overwrite the file I've experienced a few times where neither the keyboard or controller work after exiting Kodi but not all the time. However, what I have noticed is TVaddons (Fusion) is working and I can install it in full!
Thanks, but... 
What I do wrong?
You forgot the space between nano and /
Exactly. thanks friend.
Thanks for that. I amended the line rather than adding a new line. Will try it out as I would like to be able to shut down from Kodi too.
I have the same problem,but my recalbox autostarts Kodi.I have changed kill $pid to kill -9 $pid,but when i ‘shut down’ Kodi it then goes back into Emulationstation.
Actually "shutdown" or "exit" will bring you to emulationstation. To shutdown the raspberry pi you have to do it from emulationstation.
Ah ok thanks. Is it a bug, so it can be fixed in future, or is there nothing to do?
Just a thought, is the an add-on within Kodi which can run a linux command? I'm wondering if it's possible to issue a shutdown from that?
Also worth asking what shutdown command can we do coz shutdown -h now doesn't work?
systemctl poweroff? Not near my recalbox to test.
Hi, I would also like to be able to shutdown Kodi directly without going back to Emulation Station. I actually start recalbox directly in Kodi, so this would make it almost perfect for me. Thanks!
I have a friend experiencing this same issue where the wireless xbox controller stops working after exiting kodi. Will this fix be in the next release or is it in the current public release?
Hello the fix will be in the next release, the 3.3.0. The bêta release is imminent.
