EventGhost Close command won't close XBMC.exe

[ijourneaux]

I created the simple eventghost macro to react to an MCE button press, close XBMC.exe and startup BeyondTV. Rather than completely closing XBMC, this just closes the XMBC window but XBMC still shows up as running in the task manager process list. Under these circumstances, I can't just start XMBC, I have to first kill it in task manager then start XBMC.

The equivlent macro that stops BeyondTV and starts XBMC seems to work correctly. Is this a bug?

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EventGhost Version="1462">
    <Macro Name="Close XBMC" Expanded="True">
        <Event Name="MceRemote.TV" />
        <Action>
            Window.FindWindow(u'XBMC.exe', None, None, None, None, None, True, 0.0, 2)
        </Action>
        <Action>
            Window.Close()
        </Action>
        <Action>
            System.Execute(u'C:\\Program Files\\SnapStream Media\\Beyond TV\\BTVD3DShell.exe', u'', 0, False, 2, u'')
        </Action>
    </Macro>
</EventGhost>

Isn't there an XBMX.close() action you should use instead of window.close()?

I found the XBMC.Close() function and using it gets past my problem. I think the Close function should work as well though.
