I do not want the EPG screen (TVGuide). I want the PVR Home Menu itself (TVChannels) to open on a specific group. But I understand this is not possible on kodi 18.
Maybe with ActivateWindowAndFocus this is possible. I'll try.
thanks

Ah right, keep forgetting that most skins seem to open the TVChannels screen from the PVR Home Menu button. I've configured mine to open the EPG screen instead.
I'm on Kodi 18 at the moment and just tried changing my main menu item to open a specific channel group for that screen, but no luck.
But I'm guessing it would probably work with Kodi 19 though....

Kodi 19 should remember the last channel group used and show that.

i think, if i remember correctly - the groups popup box is only 'visible' if your in certain windows - like the tv or radio pvr
wont show unless in the tv pvr or in the radio pvr window - i think it might be down to the visible's

So steps:
1) Just open KODi from Android TV Launcher (Google TV Stick)
2) Go to Live TV
3) opens with all channels group
4) press left and go to e.g. "Favoriten"
5) choose a channel
6) Go back to main menu
7) click on Exit
Repeat from 1) and you have the all channels group again.
If you just hit the home button and do not close kodi, its working.
But Android closes the app after a certain time and you are left with the all channels list on the next day.
Best

If I shutdown Kodi from the menu via "Exit" then it happens like that.
What I've seen: the EPG also gets not saved when shutting down Kodi from the Menu.
Can I somehow debug that behaviour?

What exactly do you mean with "EPG gets not saved"?

Cannot reproduce. Works like it should in Kodi 19 (remembers the last opened group). I tested on Android and macOS. On Android I even killed Kodi, simulating "after some time Android closes Kodi".
