- tododo - 2011-09-04 Yeh thats right - that path didnt exist - so created it now and xbmc doesnt crash at least Im still reading this thread to populate the xml I can post but at the moment I think its all wrong anyway - ill have a play about and post back thanks - Angelscry - 2011-09-04 tododo Wrote:Yeh thats right - that path didnt exist - so created it now and xbmc doesnt crash at leastIn a normal use of Advanced Launcher, you do not need to manually edit the launchers.xml file. If you do not know exactly what you are doing, you may corrupt the launchers.xml and then all Advanced Launcher. All could be done (add launcher, add item, configuration, import and scrap information and images) directly from Advanced Launcher. Also do not hesite to read the user guide and visite the wiki pages for the launcher configuration. - tododo - 2011-09-04 Thanks Installed from the repository - which went fine Then was just trying to open up through the programs - add on menu but nothing happens - xbmc just reboots So I cant even get to the bit where you can configure launchers because the xml doesnt exist Thanks for the advice - ill be back soon I think - Angelscry - 2011-09-04 tododo Wrote:ThanksDo you have checked if XBMC (or the XBMC user) have the rights to create/read/write the launchers.xml file on the /home/xbmc/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/ directory? The launchers.xml is created at the first start of Advanced Launcher. But if XBMC do not have the rights to it, Advanced Launcher will never work correctly. - tododo - 2011-09-04 Angelscry Wrote:Do you have checked if XBMC (or the XBMC user) have the rights to create/read/write the launchers.xml file on the /home/xbmc/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/ directory?

Looks about right - see below xbmc runs under user xbmc drwxr-xr-x 13 xbmc xbmc 4096 2011-09-04 12:24 addon_data all im getting at the moment is "Script Failed!: addon.py" ....no im not its crashing xbmc again after playing with the permissons its now chmodded to 777 for the folder and the launchers.xml and it reboots with the same error in the crash log removed the launchers.xml altogether and the same thing Would love to somehow get this going - Angelscry - 2011-09-04 tododo Wrote:Looks about right - see belowWhat is the content of the launcher.xml file? Which version of XBMC are you using ? Which skin are you using? - fablog - 2011-09-05 Hi Angelscry, I'm from Montreal too. Thanks for your addon it's a must to have in an XBMC config!! I have a weird problem, maybe you could help me. Everything was working perfectly with emulators and some PC games using LNK files. Today I tried to install a nightly build of XBMC but I decided to reinstall after the stable version. Since, I have a problem with directory and file name when I create a new launcher. The problem is when there are some spaces into the name or directories, Advanced launcher try to run the file only with the first word of the directory or the file and I get a windows popup "windows cannot find...make sure you typed the name correctly". The name file inside is troncated. I hope I'm clear, I'm doing to explain my problem Do I have to reinstall something because something has been corrupted? Thank you - Angelscry - 2011-09-05 fablog Wrote:Hi Angelscry,With the last version of Advanced Launcher (1.5.4), arguments for .lnk files launchers have changed. It must be now %rom% and not anymore "%rom%": http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?title=File_shortcuts - tododo - 2011-09-05 Angelscry Wrote:What is the content of the launcher.xml file? Which version of XBMC are you using ? Which skin are you using? There is nothing in the launchers.xml at the moment - i removed everything hoping that the advanced launcher would recreate the config i put some config in there previously myself from previous posts on this thread but that didnt seem to work - had to do this as nothing was working for me So tried deleting the launchers.xml (which I previously had to create to stop xbmc from crashing) altogether to see if that will force the app to recreate not happening at the moment Im using xbmc 10.1 Dharma with the confluence skin at the present time - was on Aeon MkII too Hang on - Ive just rebooted this morning and now its gone further - its comming up with launcher type now - so it looks like its working I guess I wonder if it just needed a restart or something - odd Now if I can get some guidance on getting chromium to work Further update - tried switching back to Aoen MKII and it crashes XBMC again - now back on confluence and it is at least bring up some dialogue boxes Sorry about this further update - ok i have chrome opening now, however Im getting the same problem as I was when using firefox under the executor addon the browser only opens up in half of the available screen Its a 40inch TV and only half of it is used - the text is tiny - anybody have any idea here my launchers.xml - I havent created the individual html files yet as Im not sure what directory to put them in - would rather get this going full screen first if possible http://pastebin.com/s7pwV2mv Sorry further update now got websites displaying - found one of your earlier posts - now to the fullscreen problem - Angelscry - 2011-09-05 tododo Wrote:There is nothing in the launchers.xml at the moment - i removed everything hoping that the advanced launcher would recreate the configNo, the launchers.xml file must not be empty. If you want to remove everything you have just to delete it. tododo Wrote:i put some config in there previously myself from previous posts on this thread but that didnt seem to work - had to do this as nothing was working for meThat's not the way Advanced Launcher is working. You do not need to constantly edit the launchers.xml file to add stuff. All could be done from the XBMC GUI. tododo Wrote:Hang on - Ive just rebooted this morning and now its gone further - its comming up with launcher type now - so it looks like its working I guessIf you previously change several time the version of XBMC, it could be possible that it was the problem. tododo Wrote:Now if I can get some guidance on getting chromium to workThere is a wiki page for Chromium configuration as file launcher: http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?title=Chromium_Browser#Linux You can also create a stand alone launcher :
tododo Wrote:Further update - tried switching back to Aoen MKII and it crashes XBMC again - now back on confluence and it is at least bring up some dialogue boxesIf XBMC/Advanced Launcher works with Confluence default skin but not with Aeon MK2 skin, that's because there is a bug into Aeon MK2 skin. tododo Wrote:Sorry about this further update - ok i have chrome opening now, however Im getting the same problem as I was when using firefox under the executor addon the browser only opens up in half of the available screenThats a problem with your Ubuntu system. XBMC and the windows manager under which Chromium is running are not using the same resolution. Switch the windows manager to the same resolution as XBMC. tododo Wrote:here my launchers.xml - I havent created the individual html files yet as Im not sure what directory to put them in - would rather get this going full screen first if possiblePlease stop edit the launchers.xml file manually if you do not know what you are doing. Even me, I do not edit manually this file.There is dedicated option into Advanced Launcher to edit all the launchers.xml tags : - phear - 2011-09-05 Quick question is there a script for xbmc live to stop xbmc and then launch a program... For example for minecraft performance issues i need to do this. Thanks, Phear - Angelscry - 2011-09-05 phear Wrote:Quick question is there a script for xbmc live to stop xbmc and then launch a program...Here is an example how to do this using .sh script for mednafen : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=40 You just have to adapt this scrip for minecraft by replacing the /usr/bin/mednafen -fs 1 "$1" command line by the one needed by minecraft. - tododo - 2011-09-05 Thanks for your help - youve been great Ive now got it going full screen by installing fluxbox wm and figuring out this post http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=84303 its now going full screen - but the text is still small - thats the next thing - Angelscry - 2011-09-05 tododo Wrote:its now going full screen - but the text is still small - thats the next thingYou could increase the font size into firefox by pressing "CTRL" and " +" key simultaneously. You can also go into Firefox preferences / Content / Default font size increase the font size. Version 1.5.5 - Angelscry - 2011-09-05 Version 1.5.5 : This new version of Advanced Launcher add 2 ComicVine scrapers : one for comics data and one for comics covers. Both scrapers are working under automatic, semi-automatic and manual modes like for games scrapers. Automatic data scraper queries are based on comic filenames. So for a more effective results, comic filenames must contain the title of the serie and the issue number, like :
These 2 scrapers are actually under "beta" version. That's mean that they may still contain some bugs. So all your feedbacks and any suggestion concerning these scrapper improvement are welcome. Changelog :
