AlwaysOnTop doesn't work anymore

riaanc · 2012-04-10 20:47

I'm having trouble with the AlwaysOnTop option in advancedsettings.xml

I worked flawlessy in Dharma, but since upgrading to Eden, I've only gotten it to stay on top once - i.e. it works only sometimes.

%appdata\XBMC\userdata\advancedsettings.xml

Code:

<advancedsettings>

    <alwaysontop>yes</alwaysontop>

    <videodatabase>

        <type>mysql</type>

        <host>192.168.0.4</host>

        <port>3306</port>

        <user>xbmc</user>

        <pass>xbmc</pass>

        <name>xbmc_video</name>

    </videodatabase> 

    <musicdatabase>

        <type>mysql</type>

        <host>192.168.0.4</host>

        <port>3306</port>

        <user>xbmc</user>

        <pass>xbmc</pass>

        <name>xbmc_music</name>

    </musicdatabase>

</advancedsettings>

Can someone please check the above for mistakes and also if it works consistently on your XBMC.

Why do you have to use that?
Which programs in the background are causing the problem and how do you start xbmc?

I start my xbmc with a slight delay of 5 seconds as a shell.
Without the delay it gets minimized too.

Because I use XBMC on my computer. Its usually on its own monitor, (dual monitor), and with Dharma stayed on top of everything, but this seems to be broken in Eden.

Try using fullscreen window instead of true fullscreen under settings\System\Video output.
