Since Steam supports streaming games from my main gaming rig nowadays, I wanted to try it on my RPi2 running OSMC. I found an addon for Kodi ([RELEASE] Steam Launcher - Start Steam Big Picture Mode from within Kodi) that allows launching Steam big picture mode seamlessly. However, it seems that Steam requires a running window manager to launch. Here’s what kodi.log tells me when I try using the addon:
08:07:16 T:2770891808 NOTICE: script.steam.launcher: ERROR: A window manager is NOT running - unless you are using the SteamOS compositor Steam BPM needs a windows manager. If you are using the SteamOS compositor disable the addon option "Check for program wmctrl
Any ideas how to solve the problem? I guess I could try installing some lightweight window manager and writing a scipt that starts it before starting Steam, but is there an easier way?
