0.5 version brings two crucial features on XBMC for OSX: the ability to sleep the display after a period of time and the ability to put your mac to sleep.
However both of those features does not work correctly as of 0.5b2 (at least for my setup).
On my iMac when I set the computer monitor to sleep after say, 5 mins, it never does. It just stays on the screensaver forever.
When I set the computer to sleep when idle, it does! The bad news is that something really messes up the computer. It wakes from sleep OK. When I need to restart my iMac it stays on a blue screen and never loads the GUI. I have to restart in single user mode, clean all my caches, do a permission repair and perform some maintenance scripts. After that, I can restart my iMac without problems, until XBMC sleeps my computer again...
I tried removin the XBMC folder at Application Support and I get the same results. I use the xTV theme. These bugs should be fairly easy to replicate, and I don't know if they are specific to my setup (iMac + Remote Buddy) or a widespread issue. Anyone else having the same problems?
