Is it possible to switch to the music visualisation screen as soon as music is launced rather than having to press TAB?
Or can this be set as the screen saver / delayed start?

I'm also interested by this if anyone have found the option.

for instant autostart you´d neet to put a <onload>ActivateWindow(fullscreen)</onload> in MusicOverlay.xml

Hmmm...the ActivateWindow(fullscreen) didn't seem to work for me.
<onload>XBMC.Action(FullScreen)</onload> seems to do the trick, however it will not allow you to exit fullscreen unless you stop the music. Any additional code I'm missing to get this to work?
Thanks!

I thought this was already a feature and started to troubleshoot Artist Slideshow. I've figured it out but having this start as soon as music was played would be ideal.

It's fail-o-clock for me here. I can't get it to work.
The file I'm editing:
C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\skin.aeon.nox.gotham\1080i\MusicOverlay.xml
I don't know where to put the lines of code so I put them at the beginning. -do we only need those 3 lines, or do we also need your original line from post#3, phil65?
I tried putting your first line above, and below the 3 other lines. I also tried BlueBomber's line above and below too. But not getting the ideal result.
We are not *replacing* anything here are we? Just adding to what's there?
Oh, one last thing, my spinning CD and album cover/title,artist,album,year info is dropping away after about 5secs when in fullscreen, can I stop this? I'd like it to stay permanently.
regards.
