Hi, tried installing the Steam Add-On to Kodi 20.4 on a fresh Nobora machine. The installation works without issue but when I run the Add-On there is an error pop-up directing me to the kodi log file. However, Kodi does not create any logfile on this occasion. Do you have any idea what I can do?

There is nothing in that log file about running the add-on. Also, make sure you have debug logging turned on - instructions are in the first post.

Odd, I definetely have Xdotool installed. My terminal output for command xdotool:
Usage: xdotool <cmd> <args>
Available commands:
getactivewindow
getwindowfocus

Looks like your running kodi as a Flatpack? Might be related to the containerisation from being a Flatpack? Might be a setting that allows you to pass applications through to the Flatpack? Sorry I've got no experience running kodi as a Flatpack and usually avoid using them for reasons like this.

According to my research Nobora uses Wayland as default, which does not support xdotool. So To support Wayland the Add-On would have to utilize something like ydotool or other alternatives.

Thanks for the info - I was not aware that xdtool did not work with wayland.
I'll look into it when I get a chance, but I can't give you an ETA.
