Cool, thanks...I'll read that over when I get some free time.

The installer actually put 2 shortcuts in my Programs folder - XBMC and XBMC (Windowed). When I run the XBMC (Windowed) shortcut initially, it defaults to a window that's the size of the full screen. I have this PC hooked up to my 55" plasma, so it's a 16x9 720p screen. When XBMC runs windowed, it's the full size of my plasma, but a window. If I change the resolution to anything other than auto, even the XBMC (Windowed) shortcut starts XBMC full screen. So I can't resize it to say a 4:3 800x600 window and move it over to my second monitor, which is a 7" touch screen built-into the case. If I can get XBMC to run in a window or full screen on the other monitor, I wouldn't have to turn on the plasma to listen to music. I think my only workaround is to make the second monitor my "primary monitor" which I want to avoid for obvious reasons. But if the windowed shortcut worked properly and I was able to change the resolution to 800x600 I'd be able to just move the window over to the 2nd monitor and possibly use a 3rd party utility to force it to always open on that monitor.

Did you really try to set video and ui in XBMC to 800x600 (two settings in XBMC).
I use a smaller window to debug and it runs fine here.

Hmm...I don't recall. I'll look around when I get home. I think I was only modifying the System -> Screen settings. Any time I change this setting to anything other than "Auto" it forces a full screen even using the Windowed shortcut. Should I be making this change elsewhere instead or in addition to?

I figured a video would be worth a few thousand words. It's 16 MB in size but should stream from here...hopefully you don't have any problems viewing it.

Some details got lost after I compressed this. The beginning I was trying to show the shortcut I'm using. I copied the windowed shortcut. When I view properties it's showing the target as

"C:\Program Files\XBMC\XBMC.exe" -p

The main 2 things I thought would be of interest here is what happens when I switch to a resolution other than "auto". The same thing happens regardless of what resolution I use, as long as it's not auto. Also notice in the System section under Video Hardware the options I change are never saved.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Then use it for your day to day business but please consider testing the imagelib from svn from time to time to help us bug fixing: (http://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*...ageLib.dll)

The current version should fix loading album covers from mp3 and loading images from remote shares. The poi thingy is still in.

WiSo, FWIW, I just tried out the Windows XBMC this afternoon and had the same music folder error.

I replaced the included imagelib.dll with the one you linked to above and it did fix the problem (I tried entering the music folder a half dozen or so times, so the error was easily replicated and now is easily fixed )

Thanks.

slizzap: ok, I belive you When next time working on XBMC I'll have a look.
sticky: thanks for testing.

I had the exact same problem. Substituting the .dll above fixed it for me. THANKS!!!!
