Ambilight start/stop - illiac4 - 2011-07-30 Hi! I'm using ambilight script to start and stop the ambilight. I'm on ATV ubuntu 8.04 and using two scripts: lights.sh and lights_kill.sh lights.sh Quote:#!/bin/bash lights_kill.sh Quote:#!/bin/sh I can add them to launcher but when i run them nothing happens. If i launch those scripts from terminal (putty) they do work. They are located in "/media/scripts/" folder. What can be wrong? - Angelscry - 2011-07-30 illiac4 Wrote:Hi! I'm using ambilight script to start and stop the ambilight. I'm on ATV ubuntu 8.04 and using two scripts: lights.sh and lights_kill.shFor you first script it could be related to a relative path access problem. Try this : Code: #!/bin/sh Code: #!/bin/sh Code: <launcher> Code: <launcher> Version 1.4.7 - Angelscry - 2011-07-30 Version 1.4.7 : This new version of Advanced Launcher, add the possibility to download screenshot images from TheGameDB.net database. You have now the possibility to select between true fanarts and screenshots for the displayed fanart images. Changelog :
- illiac4 - 2011-07-31 Angelscry Wrote:For you first script it could be related to a relative path access problem. Try this : TNX that did it. The second suggestion is not working. But the first one to call the script with parameter -9 and the absolute path do boblight-X11 did the trick. One thing i have noticed is that if i create a launcher and i want to add that in favourites (to be accessed from main menu) then the created launcher is not working. It works only if you run advanced launcher and then the entry. TNX - ubuntuf4n - 2011-07-31 Hi, is there a anywhere a list with arguments for standard .exe-files. For example if I want to start an application and want them to get minimized after 2 seconds (Controller Tool). After that I want to Launch a Standard .exe-file which should be in fullscreen-mode. The Problem is that the second .exe-file gets minimized after 4 seconds, so I need to get it again maximized. Can I achieve this with command-line parameters? Cheers - zugol - 2011-07-31 Angelscry Wrote:Your problem is directly linked to the use of the standalone version of XBMC that make XBMC directly linked to X window. If you want to use XBMC under linux and also use external apllicastion with advanced launcher, it better tou have your windows manager and XBMC independant (like when you are under gnome). You can use a lightweight windows manager (like opdenbox) and directly start xbmc when with windows manager is started. Thanks a lot !! I will try this and search more about openbox. I hope there is a "seamless" way to autostart xbmc. (I'm a bit obssessed with details !!!) - Angelscry - 2011-07-31 illiac4 Wrote:One thing i have noticed is that if i create a launcher and i want to add that in favourites (to be accessed from main menu) then the created launcher is not working.

Also, which version of XBMC are you using? - Angelscry - 2011-07-31 ubuntuf4n Wrote:is there a anywhere a list with arguments for standard .exe-files.No there is no arguments for .exe files into Advanced launcher to control the way application are working. I'm not sure it will be easy to do this using batch command lines. I think the better way is to create and use a small autoit script that will allow you to control application windows focus. This script may look like this (not tested) : Code: RunWait ( '"C:\Program Files (x86)\App1\App1.exe"',"", @SW_MINIMIZE ) Here is an example how create, compile and use autoitscript with advanced launcher : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=36 - ubuntuf4n - 2011-07-31 Thanks, I will try that. btw, is there anywhere in this autoit-script a command for getting the application maximized again (after the mentioned 4 seconds) ? Cheers - hentai23 - 2011-08-01 hey got a problem want to make aeon mq2 autolaunch into advanced launcher when selecting games , now i found out that in aeon mq2 settings you can select launch 'launcher' from games folder , the problem is it means the old launcher addon thou how to make it do that but with the advanced launcher addon instead?, help! - fr500 - 2011-08-02 hentai23 Wrote:hey got a problem want to make aeon mq2 autolaunch into advanced launcher when selecting games , now i found out that in aeon mq2 settings you can select launch 'launcher' from games folder , the problem is it means the old launcher addon thou how to make it do that but with the advanced launcher addon instead?, help! Thats's more an AEON MQ2 question than an Advanced Launcher question imho - Angelscry - 2011-08-02 ubuntuf4n Wrote:btw, is there anywhere in this autoit-script a command for getting the application maximized again (after the mentioned 4 seconds) ?WinSetState : http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/WinSetState.htm - Angelscry - 2011-08-02 hentai23 Wrote:hey got a problem want to make aeon mq2 autolaunch into advanced launcher when selecting games , now i found out that in aeon mq2 settings you can select launch 'launcher' from games folder , the problem is it means the old launcher addon thou how to make it do that but with the advanced launcher addon instead?, help!There is surely the possibility to manually edit the Aeon MQ2 skin (or its settings file) and replace the link to the plugin.launcher by a link to the plugin.advanced.launcher. But, as fr500, replying to you, your question is more related to Aeon MQ2 than to Advanced Launcher, and you will obtain a better responce on the Aeon MQ2 dedicated thread. - ghostelement - 2011-08-02 Is there any way to make PC games (stand alone launchers) go into their own folder? I don't want this mess of games to show up along side my emulator folders. - Angelscry - 2011-08-02 ghostelement Wrote:Is there any way to make PC games (stand alone launchers) go into their own folder?Instead of using different Stand Alone launchers for your PC Games, you can use a Files Launcher that will used windows shortcuts (.lnk) as item. To do this put all the games .lnk files into the same folder and configure your launcher as described into the related WIKI page : http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?title=File_shortcuts |
