I need to start XBMC windowed.

I'm currently remoting to my PC at home, and it's failing (CApplication::Create()failed) when coming up so I can't make the change in the setting of the GUI.

Is there any way via command line, or config file setting to force it to launch windowed?

I can easily fix this tonight from home, but there is something I'd like to work on now.

Thanks!

There is a setting in the "Settings" to select windowed mode.

Thanks, but read my post again... slower this time :-)

I have issues remoting in as well same error.

I have had to open it local then change the settings to windowed. Then remoting in again starts in windows mode. Other than that I don't think you can fix it remotely.

That's what I was looking for. Worked perfectly. Thank you!
