Bug Description

I installed kodi from the software collection. But in the end there came u pop-up that something was wrong. I have kodi installed in Windows (for another man) and there is was working correct. That windows version gave the possibility to show films from a discs. In another linux distribution the possibilility to see fims from a disc was not present
And last but not least to stop the kodi software is a great problem. It is posseble but the to following way is " brrrr"
