Hi, it's been awhile. I've moved and we're all soldiering through major disease issues in the interim.
I wanted to ask about getting Kodi to play nice with Playnite. Currently I use the Advanced Launcher plugin from Kodi to launch Playnite full screen version and drop Kodi into a suspended background. When a UWP game is loaded from Playnite, it returns window focus to suspended Kodi instead of the game. I can manually alt-tab over to the game, but if you're using a controller to navigate, there's no way to switch window order and you have to fumble around for a keyboard.
Is there a known behavior and potentially a workaround that could make sure the game gets focus instead of Kodi? The surefire solution would be to adapt something like Kodi's Steam launcher for Playnite (it uses auto-hotkey for app handling and scripting along with Python in Kodi). I've seen it adapted already for Launchbox and could look into doing the same for this. But I'm not that familiar with AHK and was wondering if there's an interim solution.
Thanks in advance!
