HDMI change state and start/exit xbmc
#1
Hey
First quick explanation of my setup:
Zotac Zbox ID11 Win 7/10.1 Dharma connected to:
HarmanKardon AVR through hdmi and optical audio
next in line is hdmi cable between avr and samsung led tv.
Unfortuetly i cant set a pastsrough hdmi on my avr (it can only be detected when its on ) Sad)
Problem: when i forget to exit xbmc and shutdown avr i have to force reboot my zotac due to black screen, when i forget to start avr before i press button on remote to start xbmc i get strange resolution behaviour.

So i digged a bit and found hardware solution:

Unfortunetly cant afford such expence at the moment.
So i camed up with dirrty idea:
I need a program/script to start xbmc on hdmi state change (connected) and turn it off when cable disconnects.
Anyone saw such thing inside any of user friendly software like girder/eventhost? thx in advance

Sounds like the same problem others (myself included) are having -

XBMC will not turn on screen when idle for prolonged period
