Tried to read about this again, but still no luck.
Is there a way to get this to work on Kodibuntu?

[pettergulbra]

I have now tried a little bit more from this thread, but nothing helps.
But have undone all of it again. So there should be back to "normal".

Now it wont start on the half screen nether. :-)

And here is the log: LOG

Still no luck with this,rebooted and everything,

Looks like I can see a lttle glims of loading in the top, but nothing more happens that with openbox.

Wish it was as simple as it was in the Windows system. :-\

Code:

#!/bin/bash

killall blackbox

Now I have tried this to, no good.

I can get it to show on almost half screen, on the left side. If I turn off "use script".

Strange that it works on some sytems, but not on others.

Just installed and tested this, works 95% on Kodibuntu Helix.

I don't get true full screen, there seems to be a shortage of 50 vertical pixels at the bottom of the screen that shows kodi in the back. Nothing to complain about

Anyone figured how to disable the kodi screensaver while chrome is up? Then re-enable when its closed?

Thanks!!

Do you use the script?

Is their a fix to return to Kodi on exit? Right now Kodi returns minimized. Yes full screen window works but is slow for my video library.

I just figured this out for my Windows 7 (x64) system, and didn't see a similar solution.

Issue:

• After using Chrome Launcher on Windows, Kodi stays minimized
  
• "Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen" is not an acceptable workaround (choppy 24fps video when checked)
  

Solution:

1. Create a batch file: browser.bat
   
   Code:

   @echo off
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" %*
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Kodi\"
start kodi.exe /MAX
2. Chrome Launcher Addon Settings -> General -> Use custom Chrome/script path
   
3. Point Chrome/script/path to browser.bat
   

This works for me, hopefully it works for you as well! If so, perhaps (a more elegant version) can be included next to browser.sh in the official plugin.

I am running Kodibuntu Helix, and I have tried everything in this thread to get the sound working from XBMC. If i launch chrome from the desktop netflix youtube etc has sound and works fine. If i use the launcher I do not get any sound. I have tried everything on here.

You have disable GUI sounds in Kodi, that helped for me.
But I do still not get fullscreen, do you?

@pettergulbra,

I do not use the script. I found that if the chrome window is maximized in the Lubuntu instance on Kodibuntu - it tends to open full screen in Kodibuntu. Just make sure chrome keeps opening maximized in the lubuntu before exiting to Kodi.

It still does not keep the display alive though, need to keep moving the mouse.

YES! That worked! Thank You pettergulbra, if anyone else is searching through this to resolve this you need both

Keep Audio device alive -->Off
Play GUI sounds --> Never


I do not have full screen yet, but at least now I have sound!

I have now made it run full screen.
I physical had to change the size of the Chrome window inside Lubuntu, not using the maximize button, that do not work.
Just take the corner and drag the size you want.

It looks like it remember it to.

I do not know why it is like this, maybe Lubuntu remember something, thas is stored inside a file somewhere.
That maybe should or could be added in a script.

I really don`t know, was just an idea.

Hope it will stay working.

I still have not find any solution to not make the screensaver in Kodi, not turn on if Chrome Launcher is running.
