Hi all,
Thanks for the great addon - but I can't get it to work.
I have downloaded and installed 0.9.2 and installed the wmctrl program from the repo.
I have running XBMC 12.3 on Ubuntu 12.04.3 with Nvidia 331.20 Drivers installed.
XBMC is being run as an xsession so it launches automatically when I start the computer without loading the desktop.
If I run the addon from Programs > Steam, the screen flashes blank, I see the X symbol in the middle of the screen and then it starts to launch XBMC again. That does not work out though. I have a blank screen with the cursor.
If I run top, I can see that both xbmc.bin and steam are running processes but neither are up on my screen.
I was considering that it may be because I am running XBMC as an xsession.
Any advice?
EDIT: Seems that the xsession has something to do with it. If I run xbmc from the desktop, I can use the addon just fine. When it runs from the xsession, by default it uses xbmc-standalone not xbmc. I made my own xsession to use xbmc but that does not work either. It opens fine but once I run the addon, it closes xbmc and drops me back to the login screen.
