EventGhost doesn't work while XBMC is fullscreen

[Sadismia]

I have a media center set up with XBMC. Typically I leave XBMC running full screen and I only minimize it to add content. I have set up EventGhost to watch a directory for when new shows are added and everything works fine until XBMC is running. I have checked for all the basic errors and have tested my configurations multiple times. EventGhost is doing exactly what I want it to do just not while XBMC is running which defeats the entire purpose of having it. Does anyone else have this problem?

There is an option called "use full screen window instead of true full screen" have you tried it ?

I am using the "use full screen window instead of true full screen" option within XBMC, but for whatever reason the Directory Watcher plugin won't work while XBMC is running.

@Sadismia any chance for anybody to really help is if you provide some useful information.
Post your EventGhost config and a log from EventGhost that shows Directory Watcher working and not working when you start XBMC.

An idea: If you are starting XBMC from EventGhost via the Start Application action? do you have the "Wait till application is terminated before proceeding" as that will pause EventGhost.

So the title of this thread is not accurate.. EG works fine, you having problems with a plugin. I suggest you search the forum and post your problem in the thread for directory watcher so the dev that works on it will help you.
