I have two Raspberry Pis. One of them is a Raspberry Pi 3 running Raspbian, and the other is a Raspberry Pi zero running Retropie. They both have KODI installed and on both of them whenever i exit, it turns off my TV. Then i have to press the power button on the TV to turn it back on. I have searched Google, YouTube and Raspberry Pi Stack Exchange and have not been able to fix it.
Thanks in advanced!
Kodi implements Consumer Electronics Control (CEC), which sends control signals between the Pi and the TV. It's pretty handy on the whole, allowing you to shuttle around menus using your infrared TV remote, and switch the TV on by tapping a menu key on a remote app like Yatse. You can take a look over the docs on Kodi's wiki page here.
The exact feature set varies a little between TVs, and it sounds like yours is responding (as it should be) to a CEC request from Kodi to shut down. You can turn that feature off by going through the menus to:
System -> Settings -> System -> Input Devices -> Peripherals -> CEC adapter
Once you've selected your CEC adapter you should have a page of options which includes Devices to power off during shutdown with an up-down control next to it. Flick through the options to 'None', then confirm with OK and try shutting down.
