- tvont - 2009-01-14 moby-uk Wrote:Fullscreen is the main problem. My latest experimental works for me, on Vista, using Windows Media Player as the externalplayer, I'll give VLC as try when I get chance. Thank you for that. Just to explain: I need XBMC with the ability to stream. This can be done within VLC settings. VLC automatically starts to stream each time a movie is played. On the other stations, there is only a black box with VLC waiting to receive a stream on the network. The mail goal is to have a centerpiece with all the XBMC Mediacenter features as Master and a few clients as slaves. It already works with Vista / XP as "XBMC streaming server", but the server IS a Mac (also it should work nativly platform independent) - ashlar - 2009-01-14 With these settings: Code: <advancedsettings> I just see the thin stripe of my autohiding taskbar but not the desktop content. This is what I was getting before, in all honesty, before the intel patch, I mean. - manxam - 2009-01-14 I'm running 17061 from Jester's site and MPC-HC and am still experiencing the original problem. When using the following advancedsettings.xml, MPC runs in the background and XBMC is still in the foreground. Also, I cannot alt-tab BUT it does appear that MPC has focus as, if I alt-f4, it closes MPC. Any ideas?

I'm sure that XBMCSetup-Rev17060-ext.exe does, can you try that? - Jester - 2009-01-14 moby-uk Wrote:I don't know whether Jester's 17061 includes the latest patch with is still experimental for testing.

I'm sure that XBMCSetup-Rev17060-ext.exe does, can you try that? Thanks for the response moby. It's funny as I noticed that the 17060 was suffixed with -ext and the 17061 with -jester but figured "hey, the 17061 is a later build let's use it" -- obviously I'm not that bright Cheers! - Jester - 2009-01-14 Upped XBMCSetup-Rev17076-ext.exe test away - RandomXBMCUser - 2009-01-15 installed that build, the external player doesn't launch - XBMC just sits there, and all standard DVD directories still default to the internal player. - manxam - 2009-01-15 Jester Wrote:Upped XBMCSetup-Rev17076-ext.exe Jester and Moby, unfortunately I obtain the exact same behavior as using 17061. MPC-HC starts in the background BEHIND xbmc but appears to have focus as ctrl-f4 kills MPC-HC and returns focus to xbmc. Also, anyone else experiencing DVD player issues? Using the default dvd player and the 'DVD' menu link I get no playback (in fact, nothing happens). I get " CDVDPLAYER:: OpenInputStream - error opening [dvd://1] I'm not certain if this is related to anything though but do know that it was working in previous builds.

I found the the external player cant handle the UNC name XBMC gives it.. I'm using KMplayer however. - ashlar - 2009-01-15 Jester Wrote:Upped XBMCSetup-Rev17076-ext.exeGood as before with Zoom Player. I have the "Stay on top" option selected in Zoom. For the MPC-HC people... is there something similar available? Tonight I'll try testing MPC-HC, just to help. - Jester - 2009-01-15 Updated build with patch done.
