Hi, I have just installed VLC on my XBMC Live Babylon system in order to play some videostreams that couldn't be played with the standard player. I´ve got the following advancedsettings.xml:
[HTML]
<advancedsettings>
<video>
<defaultplayer>externalplayer</defaultplayer>
</video>
<externalplayer>
<filename>/usr/bin/vlc</filename>
<args>--play-and-exit --video-on-top --fullscreen</args>
<forceontop>false</forceontop>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<hidecursor>false</hidecursor>
</externalplayer>
</advancedsettings>[/HTML]
The videostream plays just fine, but I´m unable to control XBMC as long as VLC is running. The problem is that VLC asks whether or not I would like to download album info automatically when I start VLC for the first time. And when the videostream is finished, the question-window prevent VLC to quit and XBMC hangs when I still can't control XBMC or answer the question.
Is there another way to configure VLC and get rid of the album info question? Or can I add some arguments in the advancedsettings.xml so that the mouse would work during VLC playback?
