Hi, it is possible to autostart kodi after boot?
regards
Yes, could be but you will have to install custom launcher for this.
Can HAL Launcher do this? I have Hal Launcher as my default since last night and there are a ton of options.
You can install XBMC Launcher.
The only problem I have is, when I'm pressing the home button on my remote while playing a video, it stops the actually playback.
MAybe anyone has an fix for this?
I use Autostart 2.1. Goes well

I only see plex pass is showing up in apps, looked on play store on the web shows plex for android not compatible , new version not out yet ?? what is everybody doing side loading it ? thanks.... nexus player isn't ready at all , no surround sound in netflix , not a very good start ..
Android TV support is a plexpass only feature right now. Even if you sideload the paid plex app (for non plexpass subscribers) it will not show up in the android tv launcher and will not have the new leanback interface. You could still launch it from chainfire's leanback launcher or whatever its called though. But I'm not sure how well it would work.

Kodi + PleXBMC + Amber Skin will give you a "Plex Home Theatre" like experience without having a plexpass and it is not buggy with a terrible UI like the Current Plex for Android App is!

Having tried both, I have to agree with this 1000%.

Hello, Thanks for the replies , I installed kodi beta 2-x86 with plexbmc addon-3.0.0 , it crashes every time i try to play a video from plex, if i press select it will open stream then close ,working shows up in the corner then it crashes to the nexus home screen, pressing the play button on a movie crashes it instantly.. I checked my setup on the fireTv to make sure i had it set up right. It works on the fireTv but crashes on the nexus player. Anybody else having issues ??? Thanks..
Try beta 1, I was having some crashing with the Live TV addons on beta 2. I don't have Plexbmc since I use the Plex app for that so I don't know for sure if this will work.
Thanks ,that did the trick using beta 1 , it loads very slow and you get cache full, but it works ... it keeps pausing , could be wifi , buffering , ethernet connection would solve some issues .. Thanks...
Edit: stopped working getting , error script failed ; plexbmc
installed Gotham 13.2 , plexbmc works better on this not getting cache full , loads faster

Why use both Plex and Kodi? What's the pros of using them both?
After swapping a bunch of weird setting, I have come by trial and error, and stumbled upon an easy fix to Hulu Plus freeze during play back on my rooted device.
Though Hulu is not completely bug free, my odd work around allows pause, 10 second rewind, and slider usage. So that in its self is good enough.
Once you upgrade to the latest Hulu Plus, you should be able to run it and search through the listings normally.
Once you find and start a video, you should get commercial clips to play normally, but once the program or movie starts, it soon pauses. Have no fear, a simple press of the home button will minimize Hulu Plus into a background task. Once you have the home screen, just go back into the task manager and bring up Hulu Plus. Once Hulu Plus brings up the screen, playback is normal. WHOOOOOHOOO!
If by chance playback freezes during pause or any manual slider movement, just repeat the steps once more.
This works with Boeffla config running as well. Also I run my rom with 2D hardware acceleration enabled and 4x msaa enabled.
Enjoy!
since i have upgraded my shield to 3.2 and updated the vevo app, when i launch vevo from within SPMC it launches the android phone version of the app asking me to swipe screens to continue (which you cant), when i launch it from playstore it launches normal android tv version. I have my shield setup so it auto boots SPMC and hides the leanback launcher so i use SPMC as my launcher and boot apps this way, which is what i prefer. any ideas...
I have the same problem, will keep on looking for a solution but in the meantime, have you found anything?
i havent mate - just abandoned vevo now unfortunatley
Suspects:
Magisk systemless root. No twrp.
Non-Root iYTBP Youtube (arm64 black)
Jan update stock oreo
Bug reproduction:
Play a youtube video
Switch to launcher so video plays in popup
Lock the phone
Unlock the phone (fingerprint)
My questions:
Fix?
Does this happen with root version ( I can't get it working using just magisk)
Does this happen with paid yt red?
IjazCI said:
Yes this happened to me also. In my case it will also trigger a reboot.
So, just switched back to normal YouTube.

It doesn't happen with background playback, you can just make the video a popup inside the iytbp app, just like on the normal yt app and then go to launcher, that doesn't cause the crash.
HI
I’m a many years user of Kodi on Shield. But now I’m starting to think of going away, if it is possible to almost keep the “same” feel of it.
I use Emby as my “server”, for info.
Is there a way to setup Android TV launcher to act more like Kodi?
This is most important for the movies and series sections.
In Kodi I have menus for Unplayed movies, Wife’s playlist (Emby playlist), new movies, all movies and so on.
Is there a way in the Android launcher to add shortcuts as I do in Kodi for the playlists, and new movies and so on?
I will and can change back to Plex, if this is better for Android Tv launcher and shortcuts, playlists etc.
I really like Kodi, but because of the reason below, I have started the search for other solutions. And Kodi as a launcher would be great, does not look like that is possible without coding an app myself, and doesn't get updates and so on.
I’m using Shield as mentioned over for Kodi and all other streaming apps.
This sort of works well, because there are many possibilities in Kodi for adjustments and so on. But in Android TV on Shield it’s not so good any more. If you use another app like HBO, Kodi almost shuts down all the time. It has to start up again, and that is not a good way to use Kodi, it gives too much waiting time and is annoying.
I think the main problem with this, is that Kodi is not coded to always run in the background, so it always closes. :-(

I have Kodi running as my launcher.
I used Adb to side load the Launcher Manager (Android TV version) app from this thread and to also disable the stock launcher on my shield.
