How do you make a systemd service for autostarting RemoteLauncher at boot?
I want RemoteLauncher to autostart at boot so I can do things like start/stop/control Kodi on 18.10.
RemoteLauncher is here.
An old method to autostart it is here. (I believe this method has been replaced by Systemd.)
I've tried doing something like this.
The old method does start the java and the service. I can see them running in the System Monitor. But the launcher to start Kodi doesn't start Kodi on the screen. I see Kodi running for less than a minute in the System Monitor, then it disappears.
Starting the service manually in a terminal with /usr/bin/remote-launcher-server does start java and the service, and allows the launcher to start Kodi properly so I can see it on-screen. Another launcher can kill it. But the goal is to have this capability working automatically after booting.
I cannot get the last Systemd method to even get java and the service running after boot. I am at a dead-end, and am not savvy enough with Ubuntu or Systemd to figure it out. I'd really appreciate any help.

What worked was just adding /usr/bin/remote-launcher-server as a Startup Application. (I don't know why I was making it so hard.)

This will run the application when you log in, not when the machine boots.
