First off, absolutely love the skin, really sweet to setup and use...
My only gripe is with Kiosk mode and auto updates.
I understand that Kiosk mode is designed to lock things down so your mum can't mess with settings, change view mode (by far the best reason for enabling Kiosk mode), install add-ons, configure installed add-ons, etc.
But, pre-installed add-ons can't auto update.
On Kodi 17 releases, with Kiosk mode enabled, recent add-on updates weren't applied and sat waiting in Settings > Add-ons > Available updates
So for all the good that enabling Kiosk mode does by locking things down to reduce potential maintenance due to fiddling, installed add-ons not receiving auto updates means that ongoing maintenance is still required.
I don't know if the skin could auto install available updates for pre-installed add-ons at Kodi launch whilst in Kiosk mode?
Peace.
Kiosk mode doesn't prevent auto updates. It just removes access to certain buttons (like the side view menu and addon config buttons). If things are not auto updating that's to do with your kodi setup, not kiosk mode.
