Currently the launcher package name is hard coded into Kodi as a requirement to use Channels on the home screen for android.
- https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...va.in#L141

Request is to remove the hard coded package name and rely solely on hasSystemFeature(FEATURE_LEANBACK) to provide channel updates so that ANY launcher may receive channel updates.


Thanks for your consideration.

i was looking closer and it looks like this was done intentionally on Apr 19, 2023 with this commit https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/7c63...dc4ed3fa3f

i don't see a conversation or i don't know how to locate one indicating why this change was made
