hey guys,
i just updated to windows 8 from windows 7 and am having some trouble
i use ultramon 3.2.1 to connect xbmc to my 2nd monitor (my tv) using my harmony one remote
when in windows 8 metro view and i use my harmony remote to switch to xbmc.. it switches but the main focus in still on windows 8 metro screen and i cant use xbmc
when i press the buttons on my harmony its moving on the metro view and not the 2nd monitor on xbmc
i have to run over to my computer and alt tab till i find xbmc before my harmony one works
when i am in normal desktop view it works fine
i use in ultramon hotkeys
run application or script
F6
"C:\Program Files\UltraMon\UltraMonShortcuts.exe" /l C:\ProgramData\Realtime Soft\UltraMon\ShellShortcuts\XBMC - Shortcut (2).umshortcut
any ideas?
Thanks

I'm seeing that as well, looks like the start screen always keeps the focus. I tried using a custom script which activates XBMC after it has been started, but this didn't fix the problem.
Can your remote send the Windows key, or WIN+D? That would close the start screen, and XBMC should then get the focus when it starts.

Christian,
Fixed this problem last night,
As you said I also come up with the idea to use the window key with my harmony remote
Added windows key to startup xbmc activity
Harmony closes metro view to desktop view and stays on xbmc view
And added windows key when xbmc closes
Harmony closes xbmc then reopens metro view
Seems to fix the problem

if anyone else has this trouble just using the windows key does not work
you have to program the window +d button to the harmony remote
thanks
