Agree on this - moment I saw that first pop up in my testing I thought...here's potential trouble. It should definitely be off by default on the scanning side of things as loads of people will perform scans in scenarios where Kodi sitting there waiting for input isn't going to work/be convenient.
But the feature is very much in flux, as I understand it - rather oddly given how late it the Omega dev. cycle this is (seems to me personally like it should either have gone in quite a lot earlier, in an alpha, or been bumped to P* as given this flux it just doesn't yet feel at all ready for release...but I know nothing of the Kodi dev/release system really, so that's just my poorly educated impression of course! But at the moment e.g. no one can really make a skin properly ready for Omega given this feature is in but not finished, and therefore nothing is documented).
It's a great new feature for sure, it just needs some thought as to sensible defensive defaults so that e.g. the many using headless Kodi don't run into unsolvable issues.
