Hi all -- I'm currently having 2 issues. First, I use a Logitech Harmony remote 99% of the time, but also have a wireless mouse close by for all other tasks with the computer. Sometimes if the mouse gets left on the couch and somebody sits down while a movie/show is playing, it moves a little and the bottom navigation menu appears. Most of the time, it just fades away after a few seconds and everything is fine, but maybe 30% of the time, as soon as it fades away, the video skips back, as if I hit the left direction arrow. There is definitely no accidental touch or keypress... we will just be sitting there, and as soon as the nav overlay goes away XMBC jumps. Any ideas?
Second, my library is stored on my primary HTPC. My wife and I also have XBMC installed on a laptop in our bedroom which points to the shared HTPC drive for the library. A lot of times at first launch, I can browse through my whole library on the laptop, and when I select a show to watch, it says that the file is no longer available in my library and asks if I want to remove it. If I close XBMC, open a windows explorer window and browse to the shared drive, then re-open XBMC, everything works fine. Is there any way to fix this so I don't have to access the share through Windows before using XBMC?
