Option to auto-sign-in to KAI on bootup

[HaggleLad]

first of all, hats off to those who have integrated kai into xbmc, they've done an absolutely marvelous job and the front end looks good and is easy to use.

i have just one suggestion...

this may only apply to me but i sometimes want to use xbmc to control kai and other times (when my pc is on and i want to use the chat facility) i'll use the pc gui. this is works fine, i just fire up which one i want and hey presto...... unless.....

i sign into kai using the pc gui (to check to see if any of my buddies are online and they are) so i browse to the arena they are in (on the pc gui still) and then switch on my xbox....

i have xbmc as dash which then signs into kai automatically and takes over the gui part of kai... argh!

so what i'm asking is for just a simple of option in the kai settings....

automatically sign in to kai on start-up (yes / no)
(if you select no, going into programs/xlink kai will sign you in)

let me know what u'll think,

thanks.

i second this.

i third this idea.

my problem is that i have 2 xboxes. the living room auto-connects and i don't want it to because it kills my javagui in the bedroom.

i've just had to change the engin ip address in the kai engine setup to stop it. then i have to change it every time i want to use it. an auto-connect radio-button option would be ideal.

thanks for all the great work on this app.

hi all,

i appreciate that the dev's have added an "enable/disable" kai option recently which is great coz you can now actually disable kai (instead of changing the ip address to something incorrect as you had to before)

however this still doesn't solve the problems that i mentioned in the opening post.

ideally i would like to have kai disabled, but then if i go to
"my programs > xlink kai" it would enable kai

(this doesn't happen at present).

many thanks to all the dev's
(even for just listening to our suggestions)
