From what I see, manjaro is just using the Arch package for kodi.  There is nothing within it that will enable it on startup.  No idea what you did on your system.

just checked the software manager again and there is no aur release, just the community release. as for there being nothing in kodi to cause it to preform the way it did i do believe that, cause i've actually had kodi in linux before and never had this behavior.

So you do not have air? I just had to activate it and it works fine for me.
