Hello!
Me and many others use Vista, XBMC for win and a remote control. On my remote, I have with IR Server configured so that XBMC is opened with the green button. But if XBMC is opened but not focused, I want it to be focused when I press the green button. Now it opens another instance of XBMC.
Regards
Simon

Since this happens to me quite often (starting xbmc twice or more with the remote) it would be nice to have only one xbmc allowed to run.

Easy to do using mutex .. Should apply to all OS ..
The normal XBMC log IS NOT a debug log, to enable debug logging you must toggle it on under XBMC Settings - System or in advancedsettings.xml. Use
XBMC Debug Log Addon to retrieve it.

Wiso:-
Sorry I didn't check the code, I was just stating how it can be done.
I was able to reproduce this as well yesterday via commandline. I ran it one after the other via commandline. Will investigate again today .. It looks to be timing issue ..

Confirmed can reproduce this .. It is timing issue .. You must run another instance of xbmc before the first instance of xbmc is initialized. I can see that user might accidently double click it twice.
