Adds kodi_autostart.sh: polls /tmp/mnt/ for kodi.bin, kills Boxee stack, sets required environment vars, and launches Kodi 14 from USB/SD card. Updates boot.sh to invoke kodi_autostart.sh at boot. This enables running Kodi 14.2 (Helix) on the Boxee Box with Plex via PlexBMC. See https://github.com/yoavmagor/boxee-kodi-plex for full guide.
