No editing or compilation of scripts is required for the addon to work - compiling the AHK script is only required when making changes to the scripts. I was running out of time when I added the info to the readme and was rushing, ill take another look at the readme when I get time and add some clarification around that.
Normally the addon passes all those arguments to the script, you only need to add the arguments yourself if you are running the bundled scripts outside of the addon, via the command line. Check the debug log for an example after running the addon, its printed in there.
As for your issue, are you exiting steam quickly when the issue happens? I've been able to replicate your issue when doing that. The Kodi process lingers for a bit after closing it, and only one instance of kodi can be run on windows at any time, so the addon is running kodi when its already running and kodi doesnt run at all because it was already running, albeit in the process of shutting itself down. I think thats whats causing the issue. To see, open task manager, set it to be always ontop, scroll down to where K would be in the 'background processes' list and then run the addon and see if the kodi process is still in the list when you exit steam. I dont think this is a deal breaker under normal circumstances, but if so, can you enable force killing of Kodi in the addon settings and see if that helps. Alternatively you could add a post steam script to kill the Kodi process.
