So, the above aroused my curiosity and I tried it... with youtube (plugin.video.youtube). According to the instructions on kodi's wiki,
- I made the service.autoexec folder and inside it
- I made the autoexec.xml file exactly as described on the wiki
- I made the autoexec.py file like so
Proof of the above
But I failed at step 1.4 which says about enabling the autoexec addon because there is no autoexec addon listed in there!
I also tried enabling it with
If it helps, running
does spawn youtube. There is nothing related to autoexec in the log.
---edit
I need a new pair of glasses The right file name for the xml is addon.xml not autoexec.xml!
I renamed it and now it works as it should.
