So I'm interested in this add-on, but I'm new to Kodi. I have two use cases for the machine I have Kodi+Steam installed on: 1. Watch DVDs - this needs to be as simple as possible for my wife to do. 2. Play games in my Steam library.
I'm running Linux Mint 20. I just installed Kodi, and the second thing I did (after popping a DVD in to test playback) was install your Steam Launcher. I got an error - "see kodi.log" for details. I don't even know where that is, and the in-Kodi event browser turned up nothing in the error category. I'm not a complete noob to Linux but I also don't have much spare time to troubleshoot and get stuff working. Just doing a quick browse through recent posts indicated much potential futzing with window managers/controls, etc. Is there a simple series of steps for me to take to make this a very simple configuration, basically have my HTPC switchable between Kodi and Steam (and only occasional drop out for system administration)? Or should I give up now and go back to using my wife's decade-old clunky DVD player. I didn't see a straightforward guide on the github.
p.s. I did find the log file, but I'm on the wrong computer to post it. I'll try to edit this post from the right machine.
