I am on Win7x64 and it works fine.
I have my PC set to sleep, not hibernate. You can't wake it from hibernate with the remote but you can from sleep. To shut down the system, I simply press the power button on the remote for my PC and it goes to sleep. Then when I turn it back on, I simply press the power button again. The PC wakes up and XBMC is loaded fresh. No lag, no stutter.
Please read the page I linked above and you will understand how "Hibernate Trigger" works. This is a quote from the page that pretty much says it all:
Quote:Hibernate Trigger is a small program that will detect whenever the system is put into suspend or hibernation mode. When the system starts going into suspend, Hibernate Trigger will halt the Suspend operation and execute a command of your choice. Also, when the system resumes, hibernate will execute a command of your choice.
As you'lll see when you install "Hibernate Trigger", it needs two things to work: What you want executed on suspend, what you want executed on wake.
For suspend, create a batch file with the following contents:
Code:
C:\Windows\Syswow64\TaskKill /F /IM xbmc.exe
timeout /T 3
I named my bat file "Kill XBMC.bat" and saved it in the XBMC directory so I have the following in the "on suspend" box of Hibernate Trigger:
Code:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\Kill XBMC.bat"
(Make sure you save it as a bat file not a txt file or it won't work. You can do this in notepad, just show extensions in windows so you can change the file type after)
Then, we just have to reload on wake so I have the following in the "on resume" box:
Code:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\xbmc.exe" -p
Works like a champ!
