Urhos Wrote:I was able to get everything working with xbmc scraping and such on my laptop. However, whenever I try to scrape info on my desktop, it is not working correctly. I set up the launcher the same exact way on my laptop, but it just doesn't work on the desktop. I have import mode set to semi-automatic and when I scan for files it doesn't even ask me to select from a list of images or game names. Is there a windows computer setting that may be causing this problem? I'm running x64 based windows 7 with the eden beta v2.

Angelscry Wrote:Ok... So... If you use .lnk files, and want to start them with a specific launcher, you need to desactivate the "Shortcut (.lnk) support" option into the "Advanced Options" menu of the selected Launcher (context menu). I think I will solve your problem.

• collecting method : scraper

shaktoo Wrote:Angelscry Hi , I just want to clarify a few things. I have a huge comics library maily DC, Marvel & Archie comics . I have Multiple series Like Action comics, Batman , X-Men, Civil war Series, Final crisis series etc etc including the new 52 , daredevil. I have recenlty scraped all these using comicvine & comicrack. All these are in a single folder called " Comics "(but all .cbr files are in their own folders) .. yeah I know how Imaginative .
Question is this .. to use Adv launcher for comics .. I need to setup 3 folders 1-books 2-covers 3- fanarts... so does that mean I transfer all my comicvine tagged .CBR comics ( all into their own folders ) into the books folder ? or again should i be creating seperate folders for seperate characters( in video you use Batman as an example ) sorry this would seem extremely silly but I am stumped at this stage

• 1 character = 1 launcher = 1 directory or
  
• 1 serie = 1 launcher = 1 directory
  

Angelscry Wrote:Arfff... too late... The option have been added into the last version. BTW, I did not see why you will want to control XBMC with a remote or a keyboard if you do not see XBMC screen.. I will see, If someone scpecifically need to use LIRC into this condition I will add an option to activate/desactivate LIRC.

Angelscry Wrote:Yes, it's strongly possible that the "Auto disable/restore LIRC inputs for Linux system" feature bring by version 1.7.5 of Advanced Launcher block your remote control out of XBMC. To be sure, best way will be to rollback Advanced Launcher to version 1.7.4. It is actually possible to do it using Eden version of XBMC. Or, if you are using Dharma, you can download the version 1.7.4 of Advanced Launcher directly here : http://xbmc-advanced-launcher.googlecode.com/files/plugin.pgram.advanced.launcher-1.7.4.zip. Make some test, and tell me if you still have the problem.

Now... by reading your thread, I do not see wht you want to remotely control applications, using LIRC, through XBMC when you are out off XBMC? Will not be better to directly control them using LIRC with irexec? To take your example, to close zsnes using the mute key, the .lircrc file (located into the home directory) will simply be :

Code:

begin
prog = irexec
button = KEY_MUTE
repeat = 2
config = killall -9 zsnes
end

scalpel Wrote:I know that there is other methods ex. irexec to shuttdown apps by remote control. This one is very fast and easy. Also sometimes i run programs by launcher like firefox and i listen to music in background. You have option in plugin: media should be continue/stop. So by remote control i change music, vol up/down... Option to change lirc disable is a must.

fidoboy Wrote:Finally i've solved it deactivating 'restore XBMC window on launch' option in Advanced Launcher configuration settings. Now the apps (Safari, Onlive, etc) works fine and no problems... I think that this option should be this way by default...
