Hello guys
Im pretty new to linux, its been a bit of an uphill battle, but the latest is that now I have a few add-ons which are prone to crashing, and have had 3 crashes this morning so far, I have not found a way to kill xbmc and restart it, I am having to cold reboot the computer, which isnt very good for it, Im sure...
i was rescanning my music database in the background, listening to KCRW eclectic 24 (fan-friggin-tastic to have on xbmc!!!) and then browsing some photos... and then the photo slide show went onto an mp4 video clip, and it froze.
X did not stop play after it froze,
ALT TAB does nothing (it seems because xbmc is full screen)
ALT-F4 does nothing
how does one force kill XBMC from a full screen crash, is there any way to bring up the system monitor to the front of a frozen XBMC using a keyboard command?
Thanks!
Mark.
