Req Support for Play Playlist on Startup.
#1
Firstly, thank you for putting together such a wonderful Kodi Skin.

I do have one request, would it be possible to add support for the skin to launch a video upon Kodi Startup?
Using splash.jpg currently works and it's okay... But it would be nice to have a full-blown video at startup to help add a little pizazz to the build.

Thank you for your time and thank you again for all of your hard work on this project,
RedonkaBert.

Thank you for your insight and for taking the time to respond to my request.

It's really too bad considering that this feature has been a staple in many other builds over the years.

I don't like the word "builds". No idea what you are referring to. 
With this skin a intro is not possible because of integrated invisible startup routines, which would break or cause other issues.

Perhaps, the word "builds" wasn't the most appropriate word to use in this instance since I was more directly comparing the Embuary Skin to other skins in the Kodi community which already have this feature in place and working. 

I do apologize if I upset you by using that word. It honestly was not my intention, so please allow me to explain. 

The best definition that I found referring to the term "Builds" as it relates to Kodi was from TroyPoint.com in an article listed "What Is Kodi? Everything You Need To Know"

-TroyPoint.com: "A Kodi Build is a great way to get up and running quickly within Kodi.  A Kodi build will install everything in one click such as popular add-ons, skin, settings, electronic program guide, and more."


With that said, I am currently working on a build that makes use of the Embuary skin and I am using this build to make the installation and setup of Kodi easier and more consistent across the devices that I own. 

I do appreciate your time and for the explanation concerning the issues that may be caused by implementing a change like this. 
I wish you the best of luck and thank you again for all of your work on this project thus far!
