I'll try to give this a go tonight! thanks for the great support. - Jurai - 2011-05-27 Angelscry Wrote:No there is. If you want, for example, to start an external application into background. Considering Advanced Launcher could pause XBMC in the past, and must be able to do it itself, why not just add an option to the individual launchers for whether to pause & resume XBMC or not when a specific launcher is used? - Angelscry - 2011-05-27 Jurai Wrote:Considering Advanced Launcher could pause XBMC in the past, and must be able to do it itself, why not just add an option to the individual launchers for whether to pause & resume XBMC or not when a specific launcher is used?Into original Launcher add-on, the availability to pause or not a process is made by the use of the XBMC.System.ExecWait() and XBMC.System.Exec() XBMC internal python functions. These functions are only used for Windows systems. The problem with that these 2 functions are not able to correctly start command lines under windows : not able to start roms with filenames containing coma, not able to support "current working directory" variable, generate double quotes problems, etc... And this is REALLY annoying when you think that the main goal of Advanced launcher is to start applications using command line. That's why these 2 XBMC internal python functions have been replaced by a common python function to start application. The only consequence was that Windows users have lost the possibility the put XBMC into pause directly from XBMC, but still have the possibility to do it from an external .bat script. Advantage of external scripts if that after starting them from Advanced Launcher users can control EXACTLY ALL what they want on their system, better than directly from XBMC. Also, to help users with those kind of scripts, an Advanced Launcher dedicated WIKI page and forums have been created. If you have a problem to start a specific application, just ask and we will try to help you. - fr500 - 2011-05-30 Jurai Wrote:Considering Advanced Launcher could pause XBMC in the past, and must be able to do it itself, why not just add an option to the individual launchers for whether to pause & resume XBMC or not when a specific launcher is used? If you´re in windows I have a fairly well tested batch script to pause XBMC when using ALA, let me know if you need help - fr500 - 2011-05-30 Jurai Wrote:Considering Advanced Launcher could pause XBMC in the past, and must be able to do it itself, why not just add an option to the individual launchers for whether to pause & resume XBMC or not when a specific launcher is used? Here it is if you need it This version even mounts an ISO image for you if you need so. I guess I could move most of the variables to arguments to be parsed from ALA itself and use the same bat for all games but it would be more of a hassle than help. I'll highlight the lines that represent variables since those are the only lines you need to modify. Still have to add a way to unpause XBMC if game/app didn't start for any reason, I just thought about it now I'll look into it later Quote:@echo off - fasteddy - 2011-06-01 If any linux users are interested, I added instructions on using your remote to exit emulators on the AL forums - Angelscry - 2011-06-02 fasteddy Wrote:If any linux users are interested, I added instructions on using your remote to exit emulators on the AL forumsThank you very much fasteddy. I think a lot of people will be interested. - ali2k1 - 2011-06-03 Hey bruv is there anyway of me importing ala settings to another profile so I don't have to rescrape the emulators at the moment the ala directory is empty with the new profile. - Angelscry - 2011-06-03 ali2k1 Wrote:Hey bruv is there anyway of me importing ala settings to another profile so I don't have to rescrape the emulators at the moment the ala directory is empty with the new profile.Normally, if you are on the same system, you just have to copy/paste the launchers.xml and settings files into the ala empty directory. - Baldios - 2011-06-03 Italian translation, if it can be useful ... http://pastebin.com/nW3cFZ5R Thank you Angelscry for your hard work. - Angelscry - 2011-06-03 Baldios Wrote:Italian translation, if it can be useful ...Thnak you very much Baldios, for this translation. It will be added into the next version of Advanced Launcher. - ali2k1 - 2011-06-03 thank you it worked. - igotdvds - 2011-06-03 Is there a list of all available infolabels? - Angelscry - 2011-06-03 igotdvds Wrote:Is there a list of all available infolabels?
