For those trying to integrate Sling Player into XBMC (Linux or Windows), I just figured out a very nice solution.
1) Install Advanced Launcher
2) Create a “Stand Alone Launcher” and point it to your browser executable file. Chrome works great (for XBMCBuntu: /usr/bin/chromium)
3) For Arguments, use: -kiosk "http://download.slingmedia.com/player/embedded/v14/austinapp.swf" This will open Chrome in full screen directly onto Sling flash application (the same used on their Facebook App, buy bypassing Facebook)
4) For cosmetic sake, use a nice thumbnail, maybe this one:
5) You’re all set. You only need to log in the first time, and you can set “Auto Connect” on the app settings.
Now every time you select SlingPlayer on XBMC, it launches in glorious full screen, no need to log in, no need to select Slingbox, no nothing. To exit and go back to XBMC, Alt+4 is the only option I see so far, but there has to be a more elegant way to do it.
