NA9D, Thanks for confirming that it functions the same way for you. I was wondering if it was something specific to my system. I've been struggling with this since I upgraded to Leopard a few months ago. Every few weeks, I'll get frustrated and try to use Google to find other posts or comments about this behavior - so far I've found nothing with my searches. So I thought it just must be my setup that was causing the problem.

I'm using the SlingPlayer app more this week (I'm traveling), so I'm reminded of the problem. Yesterday, I tried to report the problem to Slingmedia by phone, but the person I spoke with didn't seem to know much about the Mac and didn't seem to get Spaces at all. He asked me to e-mail them with a description, so I wanted to see if this was just my problem or if others could duplicate. I'll send them an e-mail and see if they address this in a future release.

Last night I dug into scripting Spaces and wrote a little AppleScript that assigns the SlingPlayer to a specific space and then re-assigns it to Every Space. I used another application (iKey) that automatically runs my script when SlingPlayer is launched so now I get the behavior that I want.

If anyone is interested in the script, let me know and I'll post it here.

Here you go:

set app_identifier to "com.slingmedia.slingplayer"

set app_construct to (run script "{|" & app_identifier & "|: 1}")
set app_construct2 to (run script "{|" & app_identifier & "|: 65544}")
tell application "System Events"
tell expose preferences
tell spaces preferences
set spaces_bindings to get application bindings
set spaces_bindings to app_construct & spaces_bindings
set application bindings to spaces_bindings
set spaces_bindings to app_construct2 & spaces_bindings
set application bindings to spaces_bindings
end tell
end tell
end tell


It's not pretty, but it works for me.

I actually use iKey to launch the script automatically every time SlingPlayer launches. If you are launching the script manually, you would launch SlingPlayer and then run the script.
