Added to version 1.10.7.

---

Version 1.10.7 : This new version of Advanced Launcher add the new variable : %romtitle%. This varible will pass through the command line arguments the title (scraped or manually edited) of an item. This version also fix the %rombasename% non-working variable (code line commented by mistake).

Changelog :

• Add %romtitle% variable.
  
• Fix %rombasename% variable.
  

Thanks Angelscry for all your hard work!

I did notice one bug with %romtitle%. It looks like "/" characters are converted to odd, non-ascii characters when they are passed through %romtitle% (it looks sort of like "a,,,"). There might be other characters that have conversion issues, though so far the characters below seem ok:

-double quotes ["]
-single quotes [']
-spaces [ ]
-dashes [-]
-underbars [_]
-colons [:]
-semicolons [;]
-period [.]
-comma [,]

I do not have this problem. Which operating system/version are you using (Windows, OSX, Linux)? Are you sure is is related to Advanced Launcher arguments export and not to the software receiving the command line that is not able to interpret correctly the "/" character?

<arg>"%ROM%" "%ROMTITLE%"</arg>

In this case the "/" characters in the file name/location (%ROM%) are passed fine, it's only "/" in %ROMTITLE% that gets corrupted.

Im trying to get Kega Fusion to work. Here is my setup:

Arguments: "%ROM%"
Toggle XBMC Fullscreen: Off
Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen: ON
Launcher.exe:

If $CmdLine[0] == 1 Then
Run("pssuspend XBMC.exe", "", @SW_HIDE)
RunWait ('"D:\Games\Fusion\Fusion.exe" -fullscreen "' & $CmdLine[1] & '"', "", @SW_HIDE)
Run("pssuspend -r XBMC.exe", "", @SW_HIDE)
EndIf
Exit 0

Everything works fine. But using " fullscreen window" makes my movies have jutter when the camera is panning. So I dont wanna go into the setup every time I want to play games...

So is there a solution to work around "Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen"? Because if I use true fullscreen Kega Fusion gives me an direct draw error...

Cheers.

For news I'm using xbmc-12.0-Frodo_beta1-repack with SKIN AEONMQ 4-1.7.0.

• Duplicate Advanced Launcher to create one instance only for games and one instance only for your other applications : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gMFJcxdcEg
  
• Create a files launcher that will manage/point all your games shortcuts (.lnk files : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyfRa7gygEc). Then add this launcher as an XBMC favourite and finally create a menu entry in your skin for this favourite.

I have try on Windows OS with a smal .bat script displaying the passed "%romtitle%" parameter and I do not encounter this problem :



Have you checked into the launchers.xml file how is stored the item/rom title containing "/" character?

Quote:To use extra media with Cirrus Extended (like extra thumbs, extra video and video trailers), you need first to create a folder when you will put all the corresponding extra media files (for example named extramedia). Into this folder, you will need to create one sub-folder for each items with the same displayed name (for example named game1). Then into this folder you will create 2 additional sub-folders named extrathumb and extrafanart. The first directory will contain the extra thumbs image files, and the second one will contain the extra thumbs image files. This image files not need to have a specific name. Finally, the trailer video will be named trailer.mp4 and must be placed into the dedicated extra media folder of the game (game1 in this example).
