I've been using XBMC for several months now, and have everything pretty much how I want it... but I'm having a couple of issues that have me totally flustered.
First, I just have XBMC in the Windows "startup" folder. So the HTPC boots normally, then XBMC starts. Works for me. But it seems like about half the time when XBMC starts up it's a lower resolution than it's supposed to be... exiting XBMC and restarting brings it back to the 1920x1080 resolution it's supposed to be, but... why
Sometimes it even starts in a small window instead of full screen. Weird.
That random resolution/screen size thing is annoying, but not THAT big a deal, but this...
The other day I started up the HTPC just normally, everything appeared to be fine... but ALL my settings were gone. It was almost like a fresh install. My libraries were intact (phew!), but it had defaulted back to the Confluence skin (I usually use Neon), and even after switching back to my usual skin none of the tweaks were there... None of the custom home screen items, none of the custom home screen backdrops, etc. Haven't changed or even tweaked anything in weeks. I can't remember for sure, but this MAY have happened months ago too... Very annoying!
If anyone has any idea what might cause this please let me know!
I'm running the latest stable Dharma release, 10.1. The skin is Neon.
The system specs: Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit; INTEL Core i5 760; GIGABYTE GA-H55; G-SKILL Ripjaw 2 x 4GB; MSI GeForce GT 430; 120 GB OCZ Vertex II SSD;
