Launch XBMC fullscreen with external application
#1
I have an applicalition that launches .exe files and when I added xbmc.exe to launch it was in windowed mode.
To launch it in FS I have to put some extra parameters ... how can I make an exe file (maybe something like .bat) to launch xbmc in fullscreen mode?

No help... Huh
I took some time to explore and do this by myself, so I'm going to share this with others Wink

In XBMC-FS_1.0.zip file there is bat file with small code to load XBMC.exe with -fs -p (fullscreen command), bat to exe converter and compiled XBMC-FS.exe file which only represents link to original XBMC.exe file.
Souce code has only 3 lines Laugh so you can simply edit and compile new one and post it here.
Currently XBMC-FS.exe (ver.1.0) must be in the same folder as XBMC.exe but this can easily be changed Wink

Why do i/you need this loader?
- If you have an external application for launching .exe files (as I do for launching XBMC.exe) and you don't like basic windowed mode - XBMC-FS.exe launches XBMC.exe with needed parametres to play it FullScreen.

Is compatible with all XBMC windows versions.

Download XBMC-FS

You could have also changed advancedsettings.xml to always startup fullscreen
