I managed to figure this out. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
All of my frontends start mythfrontend and I'd created a menu entry for |
| 9 |
xbmc/kodi in mythfrontend itself, so I could start it when needed. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Kodi dropped sdl support[1] and so now when it is started in this manner |
| 12 |
X doesn't focus the newly-created kodi window. If you boot directly into |
| 13 |
kodi apparently this issue doesn't happen. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
To get around this, I modified my kodi startup script that mythfrontend |
| 16 |
uses: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
#!/bin/bash |
| 19 |
/usr/bin/kodi & |
| 20 |
sleep 3 |
| 21 |
DISPLAY=:0 xdotool windowfocus `xwininfo -display :0 -name "Kodi" | grep |
| 22 |
"Window id:" | cut -d\ -f4` |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
So the script starts kodi, detaches it, waits a couple seconds for it to |
| 25 |
start up, then queries X for it's window ID and forces focus to it. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Works now. |
