New user of XBMC loving the program so far but I have a few questions:
Running XBMC Eden in Windows 7 laptop connected via HDMI through AV Receiver then to HDTV.
I'm trying to create a smart playlist for my Criterion Collection movies. Using Ember Media Manager I've changed the Studio field to say "Criterion". What is strange is that only 3 movies out of 6 or so show up in the smart playlist. I've checked to make sure Criterion is listed for all movies under Studio. Even did a manual edit in Ember and it shows Criterion. Updated library in XMBC. Any ideas?
---
Other question is not necessarily with XBMC but what's happening is I have a 30-minute shutdown Idle timer set. Before bed, I turn off the TV and Receiver and HDMI cable is still connected to laptop. XBMC continues to run instead of shutting down, which I'd like to avoid since that means the CPU / Fan will be spiked up all night.
To test, I launch XBMC with Receiver and TV powered off and Idle timer works fine. This sounds like something on the HDMI bus hanging up. Any suggestions on how to get around this?
