Start Kodi Beta 3 in a window
#1
I use a network setup where all machines are currently running Gotham and all accessing the same library using mysql on a main server machine, I want to upgrade to Kodi.

My problem is that the main server machine is headless so I access it via remote desktop.

In gotham simply changing the setting <screenmode default="true">DESKTOP</screenmode> to <screenmode default="true">WINDOW</screenmode> worked perfectly fine and XBMC would start up in a window.

This does not appear to be working in Kodi Beta 3

So how would I go about getting it to start in a window?

I've set it via Kodi GUI in Settings-System-Video output and it works always.

Are you sure you did the change in the correct folder for Kodi? (it differs from the one of XBMC).

try

Code:
<resolution>15</resolution>
<screenmode>WINDOW</screenmode>

Maybe the screenmode is enough and you just need to remove the "default=true" - not sure

ok can't explain it but I uninstalled kodi and put gotham back on.

Then I went through the install process for Kodi again and this time it worked.
