I have a shield tv and it will be very useful to automatically starts kodi in background when box boot up.
Is it possible or there's an app to do this?
Thanks ^^

Howdy,

I use the App "AutoStart" from the Google PlayStore to load Kodi, although I'm not sure if it can be loaded to the background.  You will have to play with it.  You will have to sideload "AutoStart" as it is not natively compliant with Android TV so you will need the SideLoad Launcher if you don't already have it loaded.

Auto Start:

Sideload Launcher:

Thanks but this is not what i need. I want kodi always run in background (automatically ofc), in this case shield can search also on kodi's library
