PC does not shutdown

[UPDATE] only with Kodi <= vers. 16 (Isengard), solved with > vers.17 (Krypton) and above

Alter the onclick command by editing the corresponding value to XBMC.Powerdown() in the file DialogButtonMenu.xml which you will find within your skins path: ~/.kodi/addons/skin.YOUR_SKIN/YOUR_DPI

Old: <onclick>ShutDown()</onclick>
New: <onclick>XBMC.Powerdown()</onclick>

Change YOUR_SKIN and YOUR_DPI appropriate to your settings:

#> vim  .kodi/addons/skin.YOUR_SKIN/YOUR_DPI/DialogButtonMenu.xml

For example my skin is eminence and uses 1080i display resolution:

#> vim  .kodi/addons/skin.eminence/1080i/DialogButtonMenu.xml

<control type="button" id="3116">
    <description>Shutdown</description>
    <include>DefContextMenuButton</include>
    <label>13005</label>
    <onclick>XBMC.Powerdown()</onclick>
</control>

Change the display output to second display

With an integrated graphics card I had the problem switch the default output screen to the right display. Whenever I tried to do this within the settings menu, the kodi screen switched to the right and went black. So I could not save the new preferences.

A way to do it manually is:

vim ~/.kodi/userdata/guisettings.xml

Search for "monitor":

<monitor>HDMI-3</monitor>

and change it according to your needs. Possible values you should take out of your settings-menu in the kodi gui.

Voilá.
