Hi, friends! I use this commandline arg in Krypton,

xml:
[Unit]

Description=Kodi on main display :0



[Service]

ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/xdotool set_desktop 0

ExecStart=/usr/bin/kodi0 -l /var/run/lirc/lircd

Restart=on-failure

ExecStop=/home/vis/scripts/kodi_stop.sh



[Install]

WantedBy=graphical.target

but i`m not found this in Leia. This is normal?

Instead of this i see this in kodi.log :

xml:
08:56:42.114 T:139727922467200  NOTICE: VideoPlayer::OpenFile: /var/run/lirc/lircd

08:56:42.116 T:139726468138752  NOTICE: Creating InputStream

08:56:42.116 T:139726468138752   ERROR: CVideoPlayer::OpenInputStream - error opening [/var/run/lirc/lircd]

08:56:42.116 T:139726468138752  NOTICE: CVideoPlayer::OnExit()

I use this arg on my multiseat system, because i use /var/run/lirc/lircd1 for first remote, /var/run/lirc/lircd2 for the second remote control and etc.

Yes -l and --lircdev arguments handling was recently removed (https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/13761). Look at the comment which tells to use LIRC_SOCKET_PATH environment variable instead.

So ExecStart=LIRC_SOCKET_PATH=/var/run/lirc/lircd /usr/bin/kodi0 should work.

Thanks, Rechi!

Now worked fine, with this systemd service:

xml:
[Unit]

Description=Kodi on main display :0



[Service]

Environment="LIRC_SOCKET_PATH=/var/run/lirc/lircd"

ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/xdotool set_desktop 0

ExecStart=/usr/bin/kodi0

Restart=on-failure

ExecStop=/home/vis/scripts/kodi_stop.sh
