Here are my recent investigations into the use of Advanced Launcher (version 1.11.0) with Frodo (release version) on Windows operating system (Windows 8 - 64bits).
For my tests I have created a stand alone launcher opening a Youtube page using Internet Explorer into kiosk mode :
And I have played with the different video/audio parameter of XBMC. Here are the result :
All this measurements have been made using the "Toggle XBMC into Windowed Mode" set to OFF (default value). If we put this value to ON we obtain.
For my tests I have created a stand alone launcher opening a Youtube page using Internet Explorer into kiosk mode :
Code:
...
<application>C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe</application>
<args>-k "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7OjD8e-FxU"</args>
...
And I have played with the different video/audio parameter of XBMC. Here are the result :
- Audio(WASAPI) + Video(Fullscreen Windows) + IE -> No Sound
- Audio(WASAPI) + Video(True Fullscreen) + IE -> No Sound + XBMC stay minimized after IE was closed
- Audio(DirecSound) + Video(Fullscreen Windows) + IE -> Sound OK + IE start into background (XBMC Freezed)
- Audio(DirecSound) + Video(True Fullscreen) + Audio(DirecSound) + IE -> Sound OK + XBMC stay minimized after IE was closed
All this measurements have been made using the "Toggle XBMC into Windowed Mode" set to OFF (default value). If we put this value to ON we obtain.
- Audio(DirecSound) + Video(Fullscreen Windows) + ALA windowed mode ON + IE -> Sound OK + IE start into background (XBMC start minimized then Freeze into fullscreen mode on foreground)
- Audio(DirecSound) + Video(True Fullscreen) + ALA windowed mode ON + IE -> Sound OK (we shortly see XBMC windowed)
- Audio set to DirecSound
- Video set to True Fullscreen
- and Advanced Launcher "Toggle XBMC into Windowed Mode" option set to OFF.
