Configure start up application #542

Open arran-nz opened 1 year ago

Hey, great project - Enjoying it so far, thank you! :D

I would like to make my HTPC a Gaming + Media center, and as such want to launch Kodi first, with the option to launch Steam from within Kodi.

Why Kodi first? Kodi supports HDMI-CEC and I plan on using this to control Kodi using my TV remote using this CEC Adapter. If I don't plan on playing games, I don't want to have to use my game controller

If this is possible, how can I configure the start up behavior?

Create a .conf file under ~/.config/environment.d/ and set the STEAMCMD environment variable to whatever you want to launch.

I don't expect this will work very well though.

Alternatively you can run steam and ask it to launch a specific gameID. take a look at cli arguments for the steam client.
