Automatically Start fullscreen player when playing audio - catkinso - 2014-02-04

I am running a Linux distribution (raspbmc), is there a way I can automatically start the player in full-screen mode when playing audio?

I thought in the past the option was there but can't find it or it no longer exists.

Thanks in advance.

Some skins have this as an option. There are a couple of Confluence mods with this option, if you like the default skin: http://forum.xbmc.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=125

Thanks Ned.

I found a handy thread summary of which is to create a new file in the .xbc/addons/[skin]/[resolution] folder called: Custom_FullscreenMusic.xml

containing:

<window type="dialog" id="1113">
<allowoverlay>no</allowoverlay>
<onload condition="!Window.IsActive(visualisation)">FullScreen</onload>.
<visible>Player.HasAudio + !SubString(Window(videolibrary).Property(TvTunesIsAlive),True)</visible>
<controls></controls>
</window>

I'd love to see this be the default behavior, or at least as an option for Confluence. I'm in the same boat and I like having fullscreen on audio playback :)
