It doesn't happen often and i'm not sure what causes it but i can't get it to maximise again from the harmony.
I also have eventghost installed if that is needed.
thanks

If you give the xbmc shorcut a shortcut key then pressing that will bring it back into focus should be easy with a harmony you could use one of the F keys
>>X<<' Wrote:Like I said using full screen window instead of true full screen is probably the quickest solution if you search on here there are lots of posts about this problem
Not sure why you have a shortcut problem works fine for me in win7 64bit have you tried setting them all back to none then maybe even delete all the current ones and reboot, create new shortcut and new shortcut key
johnmerrick Wrote:yes i have tried everything with the shortcuts but every now and then they reset and then revert back!
Eventghost works better for starting it. It's smoother and more reliable.
I was wondering if the mce keyboard/mce remote has a shortcut button to maximise xbmc if it minimises to the taskbar. ie: xbmc toggle full screen etc.
may be eventghost has a feature in it.

Mckron Wrote:I had the focus dropping issue too and I just setup "alt+tab" under my Media Center SE device and it seems to be a good quick fix. Still haven't found out what's pulling it out of focus yet as I've haven't been in the position to do anything about it when it happens. It only seems to happen when I have people over, what's up with that? Maybe it's shy.
Cheers.

That being said, yes I'm only using it to wake from within XBMC.
