Hello everyone,
I tried to look for an answer for this on the forum (and generally on the internet), but alas could not find any.
Context: my HTPC is a Late 2012 Mac Mini, it's been recently reinstalled with Catalina and currently runs the latest: 10.15.5. Kodi is version 18.7.
I wanted to use it as an HTPC appliance, so I enabled automatic login for the kodi user, which works correctly. However, no matter how I try to set Kodi to launch automatically after logon, it does not start (checking the autostart menu item on the Dock, or adding Kodi to the login items in System Settings). The icon bounces once and nothing happens afterwards.
Kodi itself does work properly, it's only the autostart after login which I miss (I've already done the usual security workarounds: enable the application to run etc.).
TBH, I suspect this is a macOS "security feature" in Catalina for some 3rd party apps. Brave (the browser) is also installed on this Mac and behaves exactly the same way: no matter what I do, it does not launch automatically after login.
Does anyone experienced the same problem? If yes, any clues what the solutions could be?
Cheers
