Autostart Kodi with Marshmallow update

by eightbitrob

Was trying to figure out if this still works before I go updating to Marshmallow. Currently I am using XBMC launcher to autostart my AndroidTV to Kodi. Additionally if I press the home key it will always go back to Kodi. My launcher essentially is Kodi as I never even see the leanback launcher at all.

I want to continue doing this but the latest version of the Leanback launcher broke XBMC launcher. I had to roll back to a previous version to get it back working again. My fear is that by updating to Marshmallow I will lose this functionality.

So the question is can I do this on Marshmallow. All I want to be able to do is replace the leanback launcher with Kodi. Starts up right to Kodi and anytime I press home it goes to Kodi. Anyone have any luck?

I dont think you can use an alternate launcher with marshmallow. I was using xbmc launcher also and after the update it no longer works. Im going to roll back if possible this weekend because of it.

Fyi... I have the shield tv and nexus player and both dont allow another launcher after marshmallow update
