power on

What to do, to get it working on Mac OS X?

If you're lucky it runs on Mono.

hard luck on Mono - it uses Windows Api functions

Anyway - I can't reproduce Your problem, so in new version user can select what method of "bringing window to front" application should use.

Delete Your current version (application and cfg file) and download new one - link same that before: http://wojtek.piechowiak.eu/mich/XBMCLauncher.exe

and try it - if xbmc still isn't showing in front, go to cfg file and change bring_window_to_front_mode, there are 4 options:

• 1 (default) - use SetWindowPos function
• 2 - use BringWindowToTop function
• 3 - use SetForegroundWindow function
• 4 - use SetFocus function

Hope this will fix Your problem

I have tried all options above but still my taskbar remains on top, apart from that app works brilliantly.

I've been using the launcher for a while now, and it works very well. I wanted to go one step further: Wake on Lan my htpc with my andriod phone, and then launch XBMC. It all works now, but now I also have the same issue of the taskbar being in front.

This problem only occurs for me when I awake my HTPC from sleepstate with a "magic" packet. Turning the htpc on from a power off state means no issues, awaking it from sleep state and then using the launcher means I have the taskbar in front.

I "fixed" this issues for the most part, by enabling auto hide taskbar. But that still leaves a row 1 pixel high at the bottom of the screen. It's barely visible, but I know it's there, and I do find it annoying.

Any suggestions?

hmmm, my taskbar isn't showing on top of xbmc ... so I can't really fix it If You guys have any suggestions worth trying I can add them to XBMCLauncher ...

Can I start XBMC with a delay of X seconds?
When starting XBMC on Windows startup it can be that some sub services weren't started when XBMC is up. To delay XBMC just add the parameter -d X with X equal to the startup delay in seconds.

anyway a solution can be made for ubuntu?

I'm using this with the app "WoL Wake On Lan Wan" which provides the ability to send multiple packets at once with a time-interval between them. So it sends two packets, one to wake up the pc and after 7 seconds sends another one which then launches the xbmc...

Appreciate your work, thank you!

Just tried it and it works great, thanks!
