Hi,
i currently use this script on two client pc's which wake up my server when xbmc starts. I wake the server using the advanced wake on lan add on which launches automatically when xbmc starts. however it doesn't have a setting to launch when the pc's wake from sleep and xbmc is still loaded. I have set both pc's to got to sleep after 30 mins of being idle.
should i set the latest version of the script to close xbmc on suspend? will this then launch xbmc.exe when the client pc wakes? i need this to happen so the magic packet is sent via the addon.
if not is there a way to incorporate a packet to be sent via this script?
thanks

close on suspend launch xbmc at wake up. but you can also start a batch file with wake-on-lan.

I have not tried this yet, but I was wondering if it will play well with the .ahk scripts I currently use for the external Hulu and Netflix(MCE) programs? Basically I select menu option hulu in xbmc and Hulu launches minimizing xbmc, upon exiting Hulu desktop xbmc maximizes again. Same scenario for Netflix. Will xbmc launcher allow me to do this? Or will it give focus back to xbmc in the middle of trying to watch hulu/netflix? Surely others do it the same way as me.

You can use the option 'check focus only once'.

Yes you can change it. But remember to change the mce remote code for green start button also if you use mce remote. Because if you change Win+Alt+Enter in ahk code, this shortcut will start windows media center. But if you don't have an mce remote then it is ok to set the shortcut of your choice. The symbols to use are:
!: Sends an ALT keystroke.
+: Sends a SHIFT keystroke.
^: Sends a CONTROL keystroke
#: Sends a WIN keystroke

You can replace Alt+Win+Enter to F7. Source code for ccc is not uploaded. But it is easy to add.
