Kodi Stealing Focus - AquaUser - 2023-09-06
Hi,
How do I stop Kodi from un-minimising itself and stealing the main window focus when I switch my TV back on?
Regards,
AquaUser.

this does not sound like normal kodi operation, more likely an operating system configuration
what operating system and how was kodi installed?

looks like this is not a new thing - https://www.reddit.com/r/kodi/comments/n8dqw9/kodi_stealing_focus_on_tv_power_on
i am not sure how to properly diagnose this 'issue'

edit:
this seems less so a bug and more so a feature since normal kodi use makes it a media center connected to a TV and not a standard media player

Thanks for looking, jepsizofye.

Thanks again.
