If your items (or in your case comics) are not named correctly the scraper will not be able to automatically scrap them. It is not only related to Advanced Launcher, but it is the same for most of all the movies or more specifically to TV show scrapers. For TV show scrapers, if the season or episode number do not appear correctly the scraper will not be able to detect it. That's the same for Advanced Launcher with issue numbers. For example in your case:
hentai23 Wrote:now that would help me alot , since i got a shit ton of comics and if youd have a shit ton of comics youd see it the same way bro ,itd be impossible to sort all of those an rename them as you mentioned , itd take me 1 year without sleep if youd calculate the time -.-', we gotta get this more sophisticated bro !!I know it could take time to rename your large collection of comics, but, that was a thing that you have must do initially. There is some batch renaming applications that exist to help you into this task. If you are not a minimum organized into you comic collecting, that's not the goal of Advanced Launcher to do it at your place. Like I have a lot of time write here, Advanced Launcher is an application launcher not a roms or a comics manager. hentai23 Wrote:and theres gotta be an option released to be able to scan a comics folder with its series contained and then launchers being auto created for each series in the comics folder with its cbr./cbz extensions as presetThats manager tasks not a launcher tasks. Advanced Launcher will never modify, copy or rename roms or comics files. hentai23 Wrote:I hope you understand this and i hope i can count on you bro if you have some of youre precious time to spare , i know this isnt easy work but what to do you made me a adv junky and yes i use it for all and everything thats the beauty of itI understand your point of view, but Advanced Launcher will never manage you items at your place. hentai23 Wrote:for games , for comics for all it just needs some tweaking on the comics side xD, oh btw the games scraper for info could be abit better some games even thou named exactly as the official name doesnt get picked up by thegamesdb or allgames is there a better one?,hmmmm.....Just explain me how you correctly scrap a game or comic info from a file if it filename did not contain exact information on what you are going to scrap?? I'm really really curious. - hentai23 - 2011-10-15 ok you make valid points there angel xD my bad i thought there would be a way but as you said there isnt i have to rename them correctly, so btw you said something about a batch renamer? id love to try it out , gimme gimme gimme xD ill be waiting , peace, and i guess about launchers well still have to do it the old fashioned way and create a launcher for each series manual , hey im not finished typing yet ,crank that handle my boy where running out of energy -.-'....xD http://marynowsky.files.wordpress.com/2006/03/Picture%201.png?w=450 - Angelscry - 2011-10-15 hentai23 Wrote:ok you make valid points there angel xDThe only other ways I know to scrap data from media files without using filename is to use meta-tags (like for MP3 files) or md5checksum values. For meta-tags, it just displace the problem, because if the meta-tags are not set correctly, you will also have to do it manually. For md5checksum values, you must first have a database that have this information. It could be possible for roms files (like MAME for example), but will be not possible to apply to comics (with are at the start not digital media). For the batch renamers, that's a long time I did not use some but I think Ant Renamer (http://www.antp.be/software/renamer) will do the job. - hentai23 - 2011-10-16 bed checkin out dat renamer thanks , peace - kimakika - 2011-10-16 Angelscry Wrote:That's a common problem. When you start an application from XBMC that change the screen resolution, when you return back to XBMC this resolution is not always restored. You can try several things : i want to use 12noon to restore my xbmc resolution when i exit the game but i dont know how to make such a script, i tried everything i know but no luck. Help someone? rom files - vader74 - 2011-10-16 for some reason i cant not see my rom file when creating launcher i got to browse folder and it is empty and i dont get the option to click OK button in xbmc - GSP-UFC - 2011-10-16 Angelscry Wrote:Emulators configuration are avaliable on the Advanced Launcher dedicated WIKI pages : http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?title=Main_Page Thanks a lot that worked! - Andy L - 2011-10-16 I'm trying to get an emulator (MAME) up and running by following the instructions in the wiki - however, when I click File Launcher and try to browse to an emulator, only one of my network shares show up and none of my local drives. This problem persists even when I've added the root of my C:\ drive as a source under Programs. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? - Angelscry - 2011-10-16 vader74 Wrote:for some reason i cant not see my rom file when creating launcher After the files launcher creation, you need to go to the "Add items" menu option of the launcher (using "C" key) to add items to the launcher (using manual or automatic method). What do you mean by "Ok button"?

This problem persists even when I've added the root of my C:\ drive as a source under Programs. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?That's a XBMC bug. And I have now way to fix this from Advanced Launcher. If you already have added you C:\ drive as source, try to remove any CD/DVD rom or any mounted ISO images from your system. It normally will show you back your local drive - vader74 - 2011-10-16 yes i have done that when you go to add and the folder tree pops up on the right of the screen it only shows empty folders and no files in them the ok button does not hi-light as there are no executable file showing when i browse the folders Adbanced Launcher Problem - toretorden - 2011-10-16 I have a problem with my Advanced Launcher. Today, I noticed all my games were gone! When I click Games from the Home Menu, this is what I see : Basically nothing! I've tried renaming/deleting launchers.xml in %appdata%\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\addon_data\plugin.program.advanced.launcher, but it didn't seem to have any effect. It all just looks broken at the moment. I could try to reinstall I guess, but a repair would be even better so that hopefully, I won't have to re-add every game! Any ideas? - Angelscry - 2011-10-16 vader74 Wrote:yes i have done thatWhat do you want exactly to do? - Angelscry - 2011-10-16 toretorden Wrote:I have a problem with my Advanced Launcher. Today, I noticed all my games were gone! When I click Games from the Home Menu, this is what I see :Deleting the launchers.xml file is REALLY the last thing to do. Because this file contain ALL the launchers and games information for Advanced Launcher. If you have effectively delete it... you have lost everything. If there is no launchers.xml file present, Advanced Launcher must ask you to create a new launcher (stand-alone or file launcher). If it is not the case, the problem must come from elsewhere. Are you sure it was not initially a skin related problem? - vader74 - 2011-10-17 Angelscry Wrote:What do you want exactly to do? to be able to add roms to the launcher as per the wiki guide i follow the instruction but it wont let me go futher when i browse for the games i just click the the folder tree as far as i can go and there is no roms there in xbmc ( pc my computer i can see that they are in there) mari bros.nes just wont show up in adv launcher to be able to add and scrap them. so im stuck i cant go futher i have show all file in xbmc setting checked so i really dont know what else to do cheers - Banditt - 2011-10-17 Not sure where to post this as it may be a general XBMC issue, but I think this may be the best place to start. I have "show plot for unwatched items" = OFF which I really want to keep because I hate reading something before I watch the movie/show that ruins it. When I am in Advanced Launcher I want the descriptions of the games (I use it for emulators) but I get the "Hidden to Prevent Spoilers" Within music it still shows the information for the artist. Is there something I can do within Programs or Advanced Launcher to show the description of the game/emulator? I can't find a way to mark it as 'Watched' Thank you. I am using Windows, Dharma, Aeon Nox skin, InfoWall View. (Pictures are from my test machine - just loaded a couple things to show what I mean) |
