No worries, glad I could help.

I decided to fork the master branch so I could add some new features and hopefully add the fixes for win8.1. All changes are in a dev branch here:
https://github.com/robbforce/XBMC-Launcher/tree/dev
Main changes include:
- Replaced the external players and applications tabs with grid views and added routines to handle storing multiple applications / players.
- Most settings were moved to configuration files located in the user's local data folder. (None of the autohotkey scripts have been updated yet to pull from these settings files).
- Started re-labeling the application for Kodi. (This still needs more work).
I know nothing about autohotkey scripting, so maybe someone can compile this and figure out how to read the XML settings files.
Quote:Please mention the features/fixes you added for Win 8.1.I haven't made any changes to the scripts yet, as I've been working on the settings application primarily to add the flexibility for unlimited external applications.

I'm having a problem with Win 8.1 (on a dedicated HTPC)... when the system boots up, it goes to the start screen instead of XMBC. XBMC is loaded, because when I use the cursor keys or my remote, I can hear it responding to navigation clicks, but it won't display until I use the mouse to click the tile (and then it switches automatically and all is well).
This only happens with a clean boot. If I suspend the HTPC and then resume, it (mostly) works ok. Sometimes the taskbar will have focus over XMBC, and won't go away until I mouse click on XBMC.
Any ideas?

Exit gives me a c++ runtime error that the program is shutting down abnormally or something like that. Then I get a message that XBMC has stopped working . IN both cases then a mouse is required to click ok or a keyboard I suppose.
Not even uninstalling fixes the problems it caused
IMHO this seems toxic, and I may be left now with a reformat and I was only interested in running xbmc as the shell
I hope that others here consider themselves warned

I didn't, I was hoping to avoid that, as I want to still have the Windows shell available when I exit XBMC (eg for watching content through browser and so forth). I'll give it a shot, thanks!

I was a happy user of XBMC Launcher untill I installed Kodi. I changed the program path and yes, Kodi starts, but immediately it gets minimized and I manually have to clic the taskbar icon in order to make it full screen again. Never happened before with XBMC... so, ¿help anyone?

If you need a tester, just let me know as I'm happy to help.
I'm using Kodi on a daily base, so I can test new versions pretty fast.
I'm running on Kodi on a Windows 8.1 system with 4GB RAM.
If you need more specs on the system, just let me know.
