VC:2.142
Vox Tools Installed
Kodi:Helix 4.2 rc1
Windows 8.1

Problem: "Close Kodi" does not close Kodi after movie is stopped ( Not sure if this is a problem with Kodi or VC)

Situation: Using the command "Open Kodi" opens Kodi and "Close Kodi" closes Kodi before using any other commands.

Next command:Command "Feature Movie" plays intro with movie following. After movie is finished using the command
"Close Kodi" freezes Kodi and I have to use Task Manager to close.

Action taken: Have reinstalled both Kodi and VC
Tried also on Windows 7 and get the same results.

VC log attached
Is there any other info I should provide?

Any assistance would be appreciated. If it is not a VC problem, I will post on Kodi forum.

I would start by doing a test. Do everything exactly the same way, in the same sequence, but instead of using a voice command to close Kodi try closing Kodi using one of two methods below (try both).

1 press alt-F4 on your keyboard.

2 press s then choose shutdown.

Let us know if either or both of these methods work ok.

Thanks for your response. Initial response on tests:
!. Closes Kodi but cannot open after with command "Open Kodi"
2. Closes Kodi. When stopped on Intro, a Runtime Error Shows. When stopped on movie, Kodi closes and can be reopened with command "Open Kodi"

Have tried on Windows 8.1 amd 7
Will test further to see if same results are repeated.

Sounds like maybe a Kodi or cinema experience issue.

Does it only happen after using cinema experience?

It may be a cinema experience issue as with the "Play movie...." command, I can stop movie and then the close command closes Kodi so far.
I forgot about this which may be quite similar. I will try this approach and see what happens.

I can verify that this is a CE problem. The same symptoms occur on my system (W7, Kodi Helix).

I can play music or a movie in Kodi and properly quit the program without issue using all methods. However, if I watch a movie using Cinema Experience, ExecBuiltIn(Quit) does nothing, and trying to quit using s --> Exit causes a runtime error ("This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.")

I can still close the Kodi window if I use CE (as opposed to properly quitting the program), but that doesn't ensure the Kodi process is terminated.

All of this was tested without using VoxCommando.

While the issue in the link above was not exactly the same, based on my initial tests, installing the Gotham version of CE seems to fix the closing of Kodi. Will continue to test.
