Is there any way to automatically launch a plugin when XBMC is started? I mainly only use XBMC for one plugin and it would be great if it just launched the plugin right away - I could then exit out of the plugin as normal if I wanted to use something else.
Any ideas?

You can have an onload command in your home.xml that launches the Addon at startup...
You need <onload> and RunAddon(Addon.id) Sorry for not giving you a ready solution...currently online with tapatalk ![[Image: obi3o55x.jpg]](http://s14.directupload.net/images/120514/obi3o55x.jpg) ![[Image: 7c8w3bu8.png]](http://mad-max.bplaced.net/guest_upload/7c8w3bu8.png) - - - Tribute to Metallica - - - If I managed to help you, please click my reputation |

You could also create a small service addon which would give you slightly more control at the expense of a little more complexity

When you edit the skin directly you'll lose any custom changes if the skin gets automatically updated by the addon system.

This had been working great but after a clean install, I can't get it to work now. I've added it to Home.xml inside the confluence-vertical skin folder (I'm using Confluence). It isn't launched the plugin  Any ideas? I've been trying for two hours to get it to work again

Hi I would really like to do this as well. I'm confused about how to make service addon. Is there a guide about how to make a service addon to start specific plugins?
