Kodi Steam BPM Launcher
Kodi addon script for launching Steam in BPM without AHK to avoid triggering anti-cheat.
Why?
For launching Steam in Big Picture Mode while killing Kodi in the background, then restoring it on Steam quit.
There is a long-standing addon script already, but it uses AutoHotkey and there is a possibility some games that detect cheats and or macros will pickup on use of AHK scripts or binaries - especially shooters and gachas looking for macro abuse - so I wanted a different solution.
This simply executes cmd builtin commands to do the job, so no risk of anticheat issues.
Usage:
Install the zip file from the release tab, or the repo via the Kodi addon installer.
You can right click the addon and change the Kodi install path in settings.
Extension:
Feel free to edit the resources/main.py and add launch options for other operating systems.
My HTPC needs to be running Windows in my household so I haven't added os check and execute code for others.
