Hello everybody
I have a strange problem and I've tried anything I could think of...
First here's my configuration:
Ubuntu Karmic Koala with XBMC 9.11+svn28256-karmic1 (from
http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ppa/ubuntu).
I'm running XBMC in standalone mode on the computer which is connected to 2 screens (first is computer screen when I have to work on my computer, second screen is my HDTV).
The launcher script used is the patched one from here:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=464...tcount=582
The problem is when I launch a SNES game with the launcher, the TV screen goes black, if I touch the remote control at this moment I hear XBMC sounds. Then I send send a command to XBMC with HTTP-API: in Firefox I go to this address:
http://ip.of.my.xbmc:8080/xbmcCmds/xbmcH...Action(199)
and now I see my game running and if I press ESC on my remote control the game exits and I return to a non fullscreen XBMC. I have to manually resend the "Action(199)" comand to go back to fullscreen
I have no idea why this doesn't work automatically with the script, maybe the wait time is too short ?
here's my launcher.xml:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<launchers>
<launcher>
<name>Zsnes</name>
<application>/usr/bin/zsnes</application>
<args>-m</args>
<rompath>/home/xbmc/Emul/ROMS/Nintendo SNES</rompath>
<romext>zip</romext>
<thumb></thumb>
<wait>true</wait>
<roms>
...
</roms>
</launcher>
</launchers>
I don't have any other arguments than "-m" as everything is well configured in the zsnes config file (~/.zsnes/zsnesl.cfg).
The only relevant part is I think:
Code:
cvidmode=22
; Last windowed & fullscreen modes (used when alt-tabbing)
PrevWinMode=16
PrevFSMode=22
; Custom Resolution X and Y for Custom Video Modes [256x224..2048x1536]
CustomResX=1360
CustomResY=768
which tells ZSnes to go fullscreen with the resolution 1360x768
and finally, the part of xorg.conf for my HDTV:
Code:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen1"
Device "Device1"
Monitor "Monitor1"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "TwinView" "0"
Option "metamodes" "DFP-0: 1920x1080_60 +0+0; DFP-0: 1920x1080_50 +0+0; DFP-0: 1920x1080_60i_0 +0+0; DFP-0: 1920x1080_50i +0+0; DFP-0: 1360x768_60 +0+0; DFP-0: 1280x720_60 +0+0; DFP-0: 1280x720_60_0 +0+0; DFP-0: 1280x720_50 +0+0; DFP-0: 1024x768_60 +0+0; DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
Sorry for the long post, but I gave you all the information I could think about
if someone has an idea I could try, I would be pleased to read you !
thanks everybody
