Hi there,
First – I hope it is OK to post this on the forum. I did not see any rules against paying for Kodi development. If I am violating any rules, kindly let me know and I will ceratinly not do it again.
Basically I am looking to hire a Kodi developer to fix the issue with “going back after selecting an addon from the homescreen”.
I am using Xonfluence skin, and the Helly, the skin developer, has confirmed that the issue cannot be solved with the skin, as it is the underlying Kodi code.
In Jarvis, once a shortcut was clicked, from the homescreen, pressing the back button would return to the home screen. In the Krypton release, after selecting a shortcut from the menu and pressing back, instead of going back home it actually goes back a step in the directory. I’ve tried this with multiple skins and have gotten the same result.
For example, take creating a shortcut for trending youtube videos with the youtube add on. While in the home menu for a given skin, I select Youtube Trending, suppose I change my mind and want to go back a step, if I press the back button I would expect it to go to the main home menu as it did in Jarvis, now, pressing back takes me a step back in the directory for the add on , showing me the add-on menu (in this case ‘Sign in’, ‘Popular right now’, ‘Search’, ‘Browse Channels’, etc).
The issue is discussed here:

While I have submitted this as a bug, and I am more than willing to spend my time to help solve this, I don’t have the coding skills to fix this myself. What I can offer however, is to pay for someones time.
I know that Kodi is mostly done by donation of peoples time coding, and people have precious little time these days.
If anyone is interested, kindly send me a PM.
Thanks!!
Ken
