Sorry for my ignorance, but what is the difference?
The way you would prefer: put in DVD then launch KODI
or
The way it works now: launch KODI then put in DVD

They both require a two step process?

But I digress, you could possibly utilize the autoexec.py with the following contents:

Code:

import xbmc
xbmc.executebuiltin( "PlayDVD()" )
