RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - redstorm - 2012-07-26 Thanks Angelscry I will try my luck with the devs. on a Advance Launcher note to try and help debug what was going on i edited the arguments for the Mame launcher to include the command line options to produce verbose output and a log file as well as setting the sound device to alsa, this however did not work and the launcher failed to start mame with these additional settings. <application>/usr/games/mame</application> <args>"-ad alsa -log -v %rom%"</args> looking at it now I think it should look like this: <application>/usr/games/mame</application> <args>-ad alsa -log -v "%rom%"</args> RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2012-07-26 (2012-07-26, 22:12)redstorm Wrote: Thanks Angelscry Second argument are the good one. Instead of using log file,you can start xbmc into a terminal then start mame from xbmc usin advanced launcher. if you have an error message with mame it will benormally reported into the terminal window. But I strongly suspect that you error message will be something telling that alsa cannot work because it is alreafy used by another process (xbmc). RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - sudopinion - 2012-07-29 Hi everyone! Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm writing some software and would like to have the scrapers save box-covers and fanart jpegs as "Folder.jpg" and "Backdrop.jpg" respectively. I don't speak python, but launcher_plugin.py looks like it can be modified to achieve this. Can anyone help? RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - bakito - 2012-07-29 hello angel, I use a .bat to close xbmc when lauching an exe ( the one from your helping website) but when xbmc relaunch it has no focus...which command must I add? ( it has already the "/max" parameter ) thanks!! cheers RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - redark - 2012-07-29 In new version 11 "EDEN" I can't figure out how to add the route of my Hard Drive (C://) as a source, so I can't load my Exe files :S help please RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2012-07-30 (2012-07-29, 17:00)bakito Wrote: hello angel, I use a .bat to close xbmc when lauching an exe ( the one from your helping website) but when xbmc relaunch it has no focus...which command must I add?Is XBMC is setup to use a fullscreen windows rather tham a true fullscreen?

There is also a youtube tutorial to add program sources into xbmc. Corresponding link is into my signature.

Sorry if this has been asked before, butThat will be difficult to proceed. You need to replace all the romname.jpg, romname_thumb.jpg and romname_fanarts occurence present into the advanced launcher code by your folder.jpg and backdrop.jpg strings. But it will generate conflict in the case where all the roms, or all the thumbs or all the fanarts are located intoa same directory. RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - sudopinion - 2012-07-30 Thanks for your reply Angelscry. I believe that all artwork and metadata associated with the rom should be located in the rom folder and not centralized to the console with name-correspondence. I can effectively scrape to the rom-folders, however I would like that data to be interchangeable among other front-ends. I understand that my request may be difficult to implement. I would appreciate it if you kept the idea in mind though. Thanks! (2012-07-30, 00:17)Angelscry Wrote:(2012-07-29, 00:38)sudopinion Wrote: Hi everyone!

RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - bakito - 2012-07-30 yes it's setup for windows in fullscreen instead of true fullscreen...but sometimes it work well...maybe it has no focus when some windows are still open in the back...don't know... thanks cheers RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - sfbay99 - 2012-07-31 Hi All, I would like to a function to grandmother HDTV's XBMC that allowed her to read MS word (*.doc) file so I can just copy and paste anything (e.g. mainly medical information) from the web to "Word" *.doc file to her HTPC (WIN7) folder. I have to make it so easy to select like moves or images file on xbmc in order for her to use , Can "Advanced Launcher" which launch MS word my only options ?, or other *.doc viewer better navigate (ALL she need to use to read and then exit to the folder to choose next document , (I will make the font so huge in "word" file her her ) Any comments welcome, Thanks Iso/Roms launched with normal pc exe's - Greg7777777 - 2012-07-31 Just wondering if there is any way that ISO/ROM's can be opened on the same screen as the normal pc executables. It would just be pretty cool to have Wii games and PC games just all together.

Just put all your .doc files into the same folder. Then into advanced launcher create the file launcher with the followinf parameters : Application : C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\winword.exe Arguments : "%rom%" Items Extension : doc RE: Iso/Roms launched with normal pc exe's - Angelscry - 2012-08-01 (2012-07-31, 19:30)Greg7777777 Wrote: Just wondering if there is any way that ISO/ROM's can be opened on the same screen as the normal pc executables. It would just be pretty cool to have Wii games and PC games just all together.The only way I actually see to mix Wii games and PC Games is to create .bat scripts for each Wii games and then start these .bat scripts as stand alone launcher (like PC games). RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - sudopinion - 2012-08-01 My program assists in the creation of these .bat scripts. check it out: (maybe broken) http://code.google.com/p/rom-jacket Angelscry: I understand. I can configure Advanced Launcher to use the scraped images from other applications and that suits me fine.

If the goal of your program is to bring such kind of support, it may not be so difficult. |
