Switch Between XBMC/WMC

Post by magnified »

Hi All,

First off, Thanks for such a great/handy application. I've spent the last few days playing with EG, trying different scripts etc.

My config:

XBMC - 9.1
Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
Media Center Remote (not sure which brand.. remote works great in EG)

I'm trying to code EG such that when I push the ZOOM, it closes XBMC and WMC starts up... and when I push the ANGLE key, it closes WMC and opens XMBC.

I've got it kindof working, but for whatever reason, after doing a few cycles, XBMC crashes and often does not go full screen - still leaves the toolbar.. I suspect its something I'm doing incorrectly in EG, but I'm not 100% sure. I've done my fair share of reading and trying different things, and I can't seem to track down the problem.

Would someone mind taking a second and looking at my script?

Again, I'm green here, will take any feedback you might have. But take it easy on me!! ;-)

Any help you have would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have a script that does what I want already?

You should use the Quit XBMC action from the XBMC plugin, I think it should work better, instead of Find window/close.

If you want better control of XBMC check out my XBMCRepeat plugin.
