Hi all,

I'm having a bit of an issue with my automated setup and wondered if anyone has any ideas.

I have a batch script that runs daily to update my library on my 'server', a Windows 8.1 box which is locked at all times.

The command I use to start Kodi is:

Code:

start "" "d:\kodi\kodi.exe" -p

Then I execute a library update command

Code:

curl -i -X POST -d "{\"jsonrpc\": \"2.0\", \"method\": \"VideoLibrary.Scan\", \"id\": \"mybash\"}" -H "content-type:application/json" http://kodi:[email protected]:8080/jsonrpc > NUL 2>&1

Then close Kodi after 10 minutes:

Code:

timeout /t 600
taskkill /IM "kodi.exe"

It used to work well, but recently stopped working, maybe on the 16 betas .

It seems that the Kodi executable will start but the screen will not render (for lack of a better explanation) fully.
When I log into the box using RDP or Teamviewer or on the console itself, I can see the Kodi window with the Confluence backdrop by itself, then the menus are populated.
My guess is that the full Kodi UI won't render/populate until a visual session is open.

Any help appreciated

Cheers
