      I'm currently running retropie in a raspberry pi that is powered by my TV set, so when I turn on the TV it boots up. I'm also controlling it through a bluetooth PS3 controller. Sometimes all I want is to turn it on and then move to the TV controller, which talks to Kodi through CEC. Can I make Kodi start automatically after a while if no controller is detected after booting up? This way I wouldn't have to pair a gamepad just to enter Kodi and then move to the TV remote. Thanks!

        You can set kodi to launch at power up. And when you quit kodi it goes to emulation station. It’s an option somewhere in retropie setup
