that's very slow : more than 30 seconds impacted by this spurious "start" on exit

@simpledork47 what is the version of android and its type (phone or tv or fake tv (when they use AOSP instead of android TV ))?
on my tv box with "android tv" 11 - works fine. kodi closes fast and then starts fast.

but on my phone with "phone android" 16 - closes fast but then starts slow (b/c old kodi is still running/hanging i believe).
BUT i do not have log records like you do. i do not see 2nd start in my log.
wild guess - maybe b/c of the way we have to run elementum in new android (to bypass new security limitation) - kodi can't stop properly.

but also on phone it can take up to 90 seconds to stop:
