Thanks for the guide, I've followed it and have everything working but on the occasions that Kodi crashes, how does one automatically restart Kodi?

From what I can gather, Kodi is running within LightDM/Openbox so the only way to get Kodi back up is to restart LightDM - but that's beyond the capabilities of my wife if I'm not at home.

When I used a systemd service for Kodi, it would automatically restart on crash, but now I've moved to the LightDM/Openbox method of launching Kodi, I have no idea how to automatically respawn Kodi (or relaunch LightDM) if/when Kodi crashes.

For me when Kodi crashes it just takes me back to the login screen, and if I log back in with the kodi user (no password, so I just hit Enter on my keyboard) it launches back into a Kodi/Openbox session (since that was the last used session) - see my edited post on the previous page.

I decided to use ppa:team-xbmc/unstable for the Kodi install, so I can say this works pretty reliably after every crash lol

That's OK if you have a keyboard attached but my setup is purely remote driven.

Thanks though, wasn't aware it would just log back in on pressing enter.

I've actually worked out a solution (see previous page) for myself that utilises the best of both worlds; kodi-openbox and systemd - my method automatically restarts kodi if/when it crashes.
