I want to boot straight into Kodi - can anyone help?

[Randy_Savage]

Hi there.

I am trying to create an emulation/htpc in one with my new nuc. I've installed Ubuntu 17.04, retropie and kodi. I am able to boot straight into Emulationstation at boot, which is cool, but I would like to boot straight to Kodi, which I cannot seem to do.

When I search the internet I see strange tales and screenshots of this option configuration / tools, which I do not have. (see image that explains the perfect world vs. my world.)

Can anyone help?

@randy_savage The FAQ answer is a bit incomplete. Those options are available only for Raspbian installations (as far as I understood looking the part autostart.sh code starting at this line).

Also, please fill that form in read-this-first post when asking for support. In this case you should say the RetroPie-Setup version you are using.

Hi meleu - thanks for your reply :-)

Sorry for the the lack of info. I thought it was enough to answer this.

I also thought retropie options were "version based" and not "distro based" or whatever it is called - too many geeks spoil the soup, you might say ;-)

But yes- I forgot the version - it is 4.2.12

Is there, by chance, another way to this - with making kodi quit to retropie afterwards?
