Hi!! I try to launch this script under MAC OS X (Maverick).
But he doesn't work....

in Linux - Steam Location I Have
/APPLICATIONS/STEAM.APP/CONTENTS/MACOS/STEAM.SH

and doesn't run.

Any tips.

I try with Advanced Launcher and it´s OK. But i want you´re script.

Thanks,,,,

I thought that would be the case, early versions would run on osx but I didnt think new ones would. Can you open steam-launch.sh (located in xbmc/userdata/addon_data/script.steam.launcher/scripts/ in the xbmc userdata directory)in a text editor and delete its contents and paste in the following:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
# App Launch script - Quit XBMC to launch another program

Make the script executable via the addon's settings before running. This version will only restart xbmc when you completely quit steam. I dont have a mac so I cant test or improve the mac version myself, if you can get me a script that mimics the windows/linux versions I could try integrating it into the addon.

OK. Now I'm just being a pest. The more I play with this addon, the more questions I have. I was wondering if you could make it optional to shut down XBMC when launching Steam. This would come in very handy if someone sends me a message while I am watching a movie, or if I want to use the Web Browser while listening to music.

Yeah good point. Here is a test ahk script which minimizes/maximizes xbmc instead of killing/restarting it. Copy it over the exisiting file in "%AppData%\XBMC\userdata\addon_data\script.steam.launcher\scripts\". You also need to comment out/delete line 114 in default.py. Its working well here, let me know how it goes.
