Hello, I have a black screen during 40 sec between login and SBMC starting. My startup delay is on 1. Have you an idea ? Thanks

Which OS? What is the normal boot time?

i have the same problem here! just formatted my htpc, than i installed the new version 4.0! and got the same problem, there is a long delay after windows 8 login, and xbmc starts! that never happened before with 3.1! tried to uninstall the latest version and install 3.1 but the problem persists

any ideas? my boot time with explorer shell is absolutely normal, 7s with ssd! but when i choose the launcher shell the boot slows down, almost 30 seconds delay ! any tips?

thanks

Between version 4.0 and older versions, there is not much change except the addition of a GUI and settings saved to registry instead of ini file. The GUI is not loaded so it won't affect boot time. If you have the same problem with older versions then something is delaying xbmclauncher in your new installation. My PC boots in 10 seconds from hdd using hybrid shutdown.

I try the "Event observer" (Observateur d'évènement in french), but nothing.

After the first start, if I close the session and log again, XBMC start directly

I am not sure what causes the delay. Can you check the normal boot (explorer as shell) time from a full shutdown and a hybrid shutdown?

I'll give it a try when I got some spare time.
