Thanks for this great program, I've just setup my NUC with Windows 8.1 and it's working nicely thanks to your scripts.
Would it be possible to get the 4.1 Source uploaded ? (only seems to be 4.0 at the moment)
Reason is, I'm using PowerDVD 13 for Bluray playback and can't seem to find a way to close it via the MCE remote, so I'd like to edit the GSB function so that it can check if PowerDVD is running and close it and switch back to XBMC.
Many Thanks!

No need to uninstall the older version 4.0. Just close the launcher if it is running.

Am I missing something or is it currently not possible to pass command line arguments to programs started by XBMCLauncher alongside XBMC, without an external starter? Such as eventghost minimized and/or steam minimized?

Passing command line arguments is not implemented. You can edit the source code to add arguments. I may add this feature in the next version.

Thanks for this program, without it everything would be much more complicated!
I have a small question: I have XBMC set as my current shell. When I try to shutdown or reboot my PC, if I left another app open by mistake (an internet browser launched from XBMC, for instance), XBMC and the shutdown/reboot process freeze until I close that app manually, whereas it would be closed automatically if explorer was set as shell. Is this expected behavior? In other words, must XBMC be the only app running when shutting down or rebooting?
Thanks!

Yes, from the power menu. Not the custom one though (I'm not using Confluence). The app is launched through Advanced Launcher.

Hi all,
I new in the forum, but I've been using xbmc long time.
Now I bought a HTPC and I've installed the XBMClauncher, the app is great, and It do the boot quickly.
I want to play bluray with DRM and for this reason I think that nedd a external player, like PowerDVD or TotalMEdia Theatre.
My problem is that with the XBMCLauncher, I'm not able to run the external player. What have I to do, for run the player?
It is necessary to create the file "playercorefactory.xml" in the userdata?
Sorry for my english.
thank you.

You need playercorefactory for external player. The option for external player in the launcher is to disable the focus.
