[RELEASE] Steam Launcher - Start Steam Big Picture Mode from within Kodi
Sorry for my late response... I am using Windows 11. Kodi is only activated again when I log out of my Steam account and it happens immediately when Steam restarts.
Windows 11, Intel i9 9900K, 16GB RAM, Asus Geforce RTX 3060 Phoenix

I've been using "oldbigpicturemode" so far, but now with latest version of Steam the new UI seems to be forced for everybody, so the addon no longer closes/reopens Kodi in Windows 10.

Hey, Im running kodi 20.1 on fedora and when I try to run the steam launcher it it says "post steam Script does not exist, disabling" and doesn't start. I don't have the post scripted option ticked though... Any ideas?

I see from debugging that it's the "userdata scripts folder" that is failing to be created...

OK, for those that have a problem with the new gamepadui of Steam here is a fix to get this addon working again when running under Linux:

Go into your home directory and head to .kodi/userdata/addon_data/script.steam.launcher/scripts/ 

In there open steam_launcher.sh and change the following
Quote:'steamwebhelper.steamwebhelper.*Steam Big Picture Mode'

to 
Quote:'steamwebhelper.*Steam Big Picture Mode'

where ever it appears in the script. That should help the script detect the Steam window again so it can start Kodi when Steam is being closed.

Edit: 

Just in case Steam should start in windowed mode go to the advanced options of the addon and add -fullscreen to the start options to give over to Steam when it starts up.

script.steam.launcher-3.7.7:
Quote:update steam DM window class name and replace instances of space indentation with tab indents so the AHK script is consistent
window detection fix for linux - thanks @Juppstein
update language strings
update error messages in addon and fix a if statement error - thanks @factorion
The last two changes were from 3.7.5 which was never pushed to my repo. Not sure what happened there, I need to check my other PC to see if its sitting on there.

EDIT I've pushed 3.7.8 to my repo which bumps the bash script revision number so it auto updates the changes from the last release

I've been unable to install 3.7.8. I removed and re-added the repo, but it won't install. I'm assuming I've missed something obvious and silly. Running Nexus; log link below:

Make sure the steam launcher ahk script isn't running in the background. Check your system tray for the icon.
