macro to logoff xbmc user

Post by topsyturvy »

hello all,

I would like to map a key to my mce remote that logs off the current xbmc user (and takes me to the login/profile screen)

Any ideas how to do this? thanks!

My plugin XBMCRepeat has that action "XBMCRepeat\Windows\Loginscreen", it appears to logout and show the login screen.

sorry if I wasen't clear.

I would like to stay within xbmc but switch xbmc users. So i need to go to the xbmc user selection scene and not the windows!

Hmm, you want a button on your remote to go to the login screen within XBMC? like the below image.
Well that's exactly what my suggestion does, if that's not it then I can't help.

ah, I didn't realise that. Then thats exactally what I need!

I'm using the standard xbmc plugin, guess I'll have to move over to xbmc repeat.

Thanks.
