Dialog Halts main thread - Xive - 2014-03-16
Hello everyone,
I have been trying to pop-up a window dialog in xbmc script using "xbmcgui.WindowXMLDialog" but i found out that it halts the main thread from which i initiated the popup and all my socket programming in the background stops till i exit the dialog then everything goes back to normal even if i try to "popup" the "xbmcgui.WindowXMLDialog" in a separate thread !
I want to be able to feed the popup dialog with information i retrieved over the socket but everything is halted and "paused" till i close the dialog, anyone had this problem before, any help will be appreciated !
Thanks.

Nvm, i found a solution in which i had to instantiate a new object of my socket that will be used in the period of opening that dialog on top my original socket .. not the most elegant solution but it works !
