I’ve hooked up my Raspberry Pi 2 to my receiver and from my receiver i’m going to my tv. Once in a while when i turn on and switch to the RBP2 HDMI input my screen stays black. Nothing happens when i use my remote.
In the past i took out the power adapter and put it back in to reboot the Pi only that resulted in a corrupted Kodi.
I’ve noticed that when the screen is black i still can connect with SSH.
Is there a way to safely shut down Kodi from comandline or does anyone have a solution for the black screen?
You might also want to try to solve the original problem 
Most likely you are experiencing this issue, which can happen if the Pi is powered on before the TV:

There is an option in the My OSMC Pi config module to automate the process described in the above FAQ.

Thanks @DBMandrake! My Pi is always powerd on and the problem does not occur all the time but i guess it could not harm to try your fix.
I will report back if i know if this fixed the problem.
