RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Application, Emulator and ROMs Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2012-04-01 (2012-04-01, 03:43)RedPenguin Wrote: I am running the exact same version of XBMC on both and here is my sop.bat:Two things you can try to debug your problem :
RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Application, Emulator and ROMs Launcher Addon for XBMC - RedPenguin - 2012-04-01 It is the spaces it appears. Using method #1: A DOS prompt opens and says: "C:\Documents" is not a valid command. Does my launchers.xml maybe need some kind of quotes in it or something to let it know about the spaces? I mean like how you do cd "c:\program files". RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Application, Emulator and ROMs Launcher Addon for XBMC - dirtymurt - 2012-04-01 how do i update the second launcher to 1.8.1? the first launcher has updated automatically one i installed via the repository but the second launcher is still on 1.7.x RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Application, Emulator and ROMs Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2012-04-01 (2012-04-01, 06:54)RedPenguin Wrote: It is the spaces it appears.Ok... Great. So now we know that the problem comes from Windows XP (remember that it is a 11 years old operating system), which is not able to start commands line containing paths with spaces (I totally forget this). I will try to see If I can add a fix into next version of Advanced Launcher to correct the path started by Advanced Launcher . Maybe I will send you the fix before (because I do not have any Windows XP operating system here). (2012-04-01, 06:54)RedPenguin Wrote: Does my launchers.xml maybe need some kind of quotes in it or something to let it know about the spaces?No, Advanced Launcher already start application with command line paths using quotes. Here to problem is that Windows XP do not like path with space. For "c:\program files" you must do "cd c:\progra~1". But actually Advanced Launcher does not do automatically the conversion (8.3 DOS format). That what I will try to add into the next version. Actually what you can try it the manually edit your launchers.xml file and replace paths like "c:\program files" into "cd c:\progra~1" RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Application, Emulator and ROMs Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2012-04-01 (2012-04-01, 12:31)dirtymurt Wrote: how do i update the second launcher to 1.8.1? the first launcher has updated automatically one i installed via the repository but the second launcher is still on 1.7.xBecause you have manually renamed and modified your second installation of Advanced Launcher (for duplication), it cannot now be updated automatically. You need to manually download the last Advanced Launcher version, replace files, and again rename and modify them. Sorry. RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Application, Emulator and ROMs Launcher Addon for XBMC - RedPenguin - 2012-04-02 Angelscry thank you for your answers. As a temp fix so I can enjoy use of the plugin on my TV XBMC I just went ahead and changed the paths to 8.3. DOCUME~1 and MYDOCU~1 seem to do the trick well. But yea XP is old but my TV PC is 2.1 GHZ Dual Core 2GB RAM. I'm not sure 2GB RAM is enough for Win 7 and it's old DDR2 and the RAM is a lot higher than DDR3 these days. RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Application, Emulator and ROMs Launcher Addon for XBMC - maxguiso - 2012-04-02 Hello Angelscry and congratulations for the work you have done is extraordinary. I encountered a problem launching emulation games. The launcher get an error if the source is located in a network hard disk such as a shared nas xbmc as a source of "smb". I noticed this because when I run emulator and game from local xbmc throwing everything works. Rather strange because if I run the emulator from nas (outside xbmc) works fine. I conclude that A-launcher have a problem on the file paths, is possible?

I conclude that A-launcher have a problem on the file paths, is possible?Yes and no. Yes Advanced Launcher cannot actually manage SMB paths, The main reason is that most the emulators do not support SMB paths in there command line. So the interest to use SMB paths is really limited. BTW, the method to bypass this problem is simply to mount your external NAS share directory as a local drive.

You do not need to touch or modify Advanced Launcher settings files located into xbmc userdata directory. If you do this, it will retain your comics.(2012-04-01, 16:11)Angelscry Wrote:thanks, i thought so, any way to retain my comics or will i need to re-add them?(2012-04-01, 12:31)dirtymurt Wrote: how do i update the second launcher to 1.8.1? the first launcher has updated automatically one i installed via the repository but the second launcher is still on 1.7.xBecause you have manually renamed and modified your second installation of Advanced Launcher (for duplication), it cannot now be updated automatically.

RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Application, Emulator and ROMs Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2012-04-03 (2012-04-03, 04:53)keysta75 Wrote:You just have to create a stand alone launcher linked to your Hyperspin executable file. Then into XBMC add this stand alone launcher as favourite. Finally into your Skin settings indicate to add this favourite as a menu entry into the menu page (if your skin allows it). Here is also a Youtube tutorial how to proceed : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8edJlmG6lw(2012-04-03, 04:11)Angelscry Wrote:(2012-04-03, 03:06)keysta75 Wrote: I saw this youtube video where this guy was setting up hyperspin with xbmc and the guy use an addon called executor.

RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Application, Emulator and ROMs Launcher Addon for XBMC - Killerc - 2012-04-03 Really liking the look of this addon, some of the screenshots you've done i didn't even think about (graphic novel stuff). I can also think of more things to do. Thanks and keep up the good work Edit: Looking over the supported skins linked in the first post, the default skin; Confluence is very behind :/ I actually quite like it aswell but maybe its time to have a look at other more supportive ones. Shame though. |
