I get really annoyed at that on the official apps.
But I guess we all use the same profile at my place.
I'll add an add-on setting "Select Profile on Start" to enable the behaviour though
I think i'll default it to off though so current behaviour remains until its changed
And if the current profile is a kids profile with the "kid lockdown mode" selected - then it won't show either
Else kids can just exit the add-on and restart it to get into adults profile
Only issue is - how do I know when it's the "first time" into the add-on.
There are multiple entry points so can't do it based on the Home menu.
eg. A user has favourited his Watchlist. when they click that - they should get the profile select still
A skin setting wont work as that doesnt clear unless a reboot of kodi.
I assume you want it asking for Profile everytime you've gone to a different add-on then back into this one?
What about after you've played local media?
the add-ons don't know when you've "gone elsewhere".
I think I can take advantage of the reuse interpreter here.
If I set a global variable - it will persist until another interpreter (addon) is run.
Dont think it would clear with local playback though.
Ill have a play
