Its not implemented under win32 as its not simple to do that. For vista and up there're some api's available which could be helpful but we still run on XP.

So, you're saying the function just doesn't work?

You can mimic a restart function using autohotkey scripts. I will post it if you want.

Thanks baijuxavior for the offer. If you post the script, I will check it out for sure, but don't go too out of your way to do so. I was pretty much trying to save myself one press of a button on a remote. If the playback didn't get choppy after a day or so, I could leave XBMC running indefinitely without issue. I could probably program a sequence into my Harmony as well. The RestartApp function seemed like it would offer the cleanest solution (other than fixing the choppy playback).
Thanks for the replies. Very much appreciated.

Thanks. I will give it a try tomorrow. The machine is running 32 bit Windows 7 so the folder names are different, but it should work the same.

The BAT file thing worked well. I assigned it to a key, and programmed my Harmony with a restart button and it works great. Thanks!
Here is something else I did with Aeon Nox,
I changed the custom_1144_FunctionSelection.xml file to replace the RestartApp command with the "XBMC.System.Exec(C:\restartxbmc.bat)" command, so when I pick the custom function Restart XBMC from the menu, it automatically runs the new command instead of RestartApp.
