Reinstall Kodi from command line?

Help and Support Raspberry Pi
1

Kodi on my Raspberry Pi 3 stopped working.
The rest of the operating system is working, I can log in with ssh and other services installed are running correctly, but Kodi does not start: no video signal is sent to my tv, and trying to start it from command line using sudo systemctl start mediacenter has no effect.

Here are the logs: https://paste.osmc.tv/uxabelogij

Is it possible to completely remove Kodi and reinstall it from scratch from the command line? Using apt, maybe?
Thanks!

Hi,

Kodi is starting, but there seems to be an issue with cec; which is preventing display:

09:13:16.721 T:1753301760   ERROR: CecLogMessage - RegisterLogicalAddress - CEC is being used by another application. Run "tvservice --off" and try again.
09:13:16.721 T:1753301760   ERROR: CecLogMessage - Open - vc_cec could not be initialised
09:13:16.721 T:1753301760   ERROR: CecLogMessage - could not open a connection (try 9)

This is repeated through out the log. I would take a backup of your .kodi folder and then do a fresh install of osmc.

Thanks Tom.

In your previous post, you had to remove and re-install samba, and now you are having problems with Kodi. I suspect you have a failing SD card. Backup your .kodi and do a fresh install on a new SD card.
