Hi,
I want to programmatically control playback of videos in XBMC installed in my Raspberry Pi from within the PI. I have installed XBMC to my Raspbian following this post. I am using Json RPC Sharp library by Montellese (link). After I launch XBMC, I can't figure out how I can make it to run in the background so that I can test my program to control playback. When I try exiting XBMC, I get a black screen and it does not get back to console or desktop. Every time I am having to power it off by removing the supply. Thank You in advance
After quitting xbmc, the framebuffer console will be lost.
Try "fbset -depth 8 && fbset -depth 16" to get it back.
