Win XBMCLauncher / Launcher4Kodi - All in One Tool for Change Shell, Set Focus and more
(2016-10-01, 12:28)Restek99 Wrote: Hi,

I've just installed Launcher4Kodi (windows 10, Kodi17 beta 1). I've set kodi to start at windows startup. If I use Launcher4kodi as the shell, then it works fine. However there are various other programs (e.g. utorrent) that then don't get launched at startup, so I've left explorer as the shell. However then kodi doesn't start at startup.

Any ideas how I troubleshoot why launche4kodi isn't starting kodi when not set as shell?

Thanks!
Just add utorrent to the programs that should launcher with launcher4kodi and it should work.

However, that last option isn't working. If I exit Kodi, Explorer doesn't launch. I'm left with a blank window, and the only option is to hit CTRL-ALT-DEL and log out. But as soon as I log back in, Kodi starts up. So I seem to be locked into a Catch-22 where I can't access Explorer in order to change the settings of Launcher4Kodi to give me my shell back.

Any suggestions? If I uninstall it, will it reinstall the shell? Or will I be screwed?
Just launch explorer via "new task -> explorer" in the task manager and you are fine.


Launcher4Kodi seems to get more and more problems, since its been abandoned.
But since the source is available, I (or someone else) probably could fix em. I will look into it and fork it sometimes in the future.

But just let us sum up, what's not working or has problems:

- no UWP app support
- problems with the close/restart after sleep function
- sometimes problems with autostart kodi and/or explorer only in win10
- ...?

(2 imho points:
- clumsy UI
- the prevent focus/start with kodi list is to small)

Anything to add?
