Do a clean install (NOT AN UPGRADE) of Mint 19 - that fixes the problem for Kodi. Mint 18.3 is using is based on an older Ubuntu. The clean install is not much harder than an upgrade, and gives a better result. BUT, using a live CD or USB to do some testing of Mint 19 on your hardware to make sure that it is fully compatible, before doing the install. Having a separate partition for you /home folders also makes a clean install much easier.
