RE: XBMCLauncher - All in One Tool for Change Shell, Set Focus and more - baijuxavior - 2013-05-12 ^^ It may be a problem with 64 bit Win8 and autohotkey. I have tested it only in 32 bit OS. Please run the following code in a autohotkey script: Code: #Persistent Install autohotkey, right click desktop or any location > New > Autohotkey script file. Right click the file > Edit Script to open the file in notepad and paste the above code. Save and run it. Set the system to sleep and on resuming the script will create a txt file d:\log.txt. If this file contains the lines suspending and resuming then the script worked. If not there is some problem with the script. RE: XBMCLauncher - All in One Tool for Change Shell, Set Focus and more - FoxTC - 2013-05-12 I have an issue with Win 8 64bit... It boots into the metro interface and stays there. If I click on the desktop button xbmc has launched fine... I have tried different focus delays but can't get it to work.

Another same problem here (Win 8 64Bit with StartisBack) Windows booting, XBMC starts, but minimized in the system tray. When i click on the desktop etc. die focus picks up XBMC and open it. The old 3.X XBMCLauncher Version works better for me. RE: XBMCLauncher - All in One Tool for Change Shell, Set Focus and more - FoxTC - 2013-05-12 I've uninstalled, I used this tool on win7 and it worked perfect, since I installed windows 8 I can't use it unless I have always focus set which is not an option for me. I will try it again once solid win8 version is available. I must say though that this is an excellent tool and the work on it is so appreciated.

RE: XBMCLauncher - All in One Tool for Change Shell, Set Focus and more - baijuxavior - 2013-05-12 @FoxTC: I checked in my Win8 32 bit OS and xbmc starts as is intended. The following settings should be enabled for this to work. Set XBMCLauncher as shell. If shell is not set to xbmclauncher, xbmc is not loaded until you click the desktop in metro start. Set the option to start XBMC at winlogon Set the option to start metro UI when xbmc is closed.

Please run the following code in a autohotkey script: i just tried the script and both suspending and resuming show up. it seems to be that the only problem is xbmc is not force closing before suspending, as when i quit xbmc, then suspend and resume, xbmc does restart.

RE: XBMCLauncher - All in One Tool for Change Shell, Set Focus and more - houlty - 2013-05-13 ok, tried the new script, didn't work. then i started it using "run as adminstrator" and bam it works. so now i have gone into the xbmclauncher program folder and set xbmclauncher.exe to "run this program as an administrator" under the compatibility tab (in file properties) and it now works. thanks for the help. RE: XBMCLauncher - All in One Tool for Change Shell, Set Focus and more - FoxTC - 2013-05-13 Followed your suggestion about setting xbmclauncher as shell and it boots straight into xbmc on Win 8 64bit in less than 10 seconds from off... Which is ace.

RE: XBMCLauncher - All in One Tool for Change Shell, Set Focus and more - Roman_V_M - 2013-05-16 I have read the 1st post and still not sure: can XBMCLauncher start XBMC with an arbitrary key combo (not just Win+Alt+Enter)? |
