For example if your have : Angelscry - thanks for the help! That definitely helps me solve my problem. I think my issue with searching was that I searched for stack and stacking, but not multidisc. problem with advanced launcher - anarchoi - 2013-01-03 Hello, I have been using XBMC with Advanced Launcher in Windows 7 for over 1 year without any problem. Today i have upgraded to Windows 8 and i have also installed XBMC Launcher. Now, when i launch a game from XBMC then XBMC will exit fullscreen to launch the game, but a few seconds later it goes back to fullscreen and my game diseapear in the background I'm not sure if this is due to Windows 8 or XBMC Launcher... Any idea how i could fix it ? It would be even better if i could just make it exit and close XBMC after starting a game with Advanced Launcher. Is this possible ? RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - mjeyre - 2013-01-03 Hey guys its mike the creator or the xbmc skygo plugin/exe and i am currently running it from advanced launcher, please can you tell me how to get my exe to appear and run from the main menu under programs in Eden or Frodo ? i can get others to appear like navi x and tv catchup etc using the shortcuts bit in settings but cant get my exe to appear. best wishes xbmcmike RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2013-01-03 (2013-01-03, 16:39)mjeyre Wrote: Hey guys its mike the creator or the xbmc skygo plugin/exe and i am currently running it from advanced launcher, please can you tell me how to get my exe to appear and run from the main menu under programs in Eden or Frodo ?That will depend the skin you are using. But basically you just have to add your skygo launcher as favourite, then add this favourtie as a menu or submenu entry (if the skin you are using support this feature) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8edJlmG6lw Other way to proceed is to manually edit the xml file of the skin.

I'm thinking that this could also be skin-related. I'm currently using Aeon Nox 3.6 (official repo release). Do you know off the top of your head if the skin supports disc selection for multi-disc titles?

RE: problem with advanced launcher - Angelscry - 2013-01-03 (2013-01-03, 13:43)anarchoi Wrote: Hello, According to your description, I think that the problem is the application you want to start itself. Does this application use a launcher executable? If so, what happen, is that Advanced Launcher start the launcher executable. Then, the launcher executable start the main application. Once this main application is started, the launcher executable close by itself. When this started launcher executable is closed, XBMC automatically get the focus back... and your main application still running into background. The first thing you can try is to start with Advanced Launcher the main executable instead of the launcher executable.

Now Version 2 is ready for download on my german homepage.

I am using 1.10.8 Advanced Laucher. I am using official 11.0 Build, XBMC Repo version of Aeon Nox. Advanced Launcher stacks the games, and launches them successfully, just don't have the option to choose which disc...

The .lnk files opens games like Borderlands 2, Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, Left4dead2, Dead Island, Anno 2070, etc. I have the same problem for all of them, but it was working with Win7 before. I have now completly uninstalled XBMC Launcher to see if it was the source of the problem. But the same thing keeps happening : when i try to launch a game, XBMC exists full screen and becomes a square window, then the game try to launch but XBMC come back in full screen Is there a way to make Advanced Launcher force exit on XBMC after launching a game ? RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - bakito - 2013-01-04 well, there is this :http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=5 or that:http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=6 you can also achieve this with an autoit script, I tried windows 8 and I had no problem launching pc game...so maybe you don't have to use theses script ...do you launch your game with explorer as "program" and shortcut as "rom"? also did you check "use fullscreen windows rather then fullscreen" in xbmc parameter? I hope you get it working! cheers RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - mjeyre - 2013-01-04 (2013-01-03, 17:22)Angelscry Wrote:(2013-01-03, 16:39)mjeyre Wrote: Hey guys its mike the creator or the xbmc skygo plugin/exe and i am currently running it from advanced launcher, please can you tell me how to get my exe to appear and run from the main menu under programs in Eden or Frodo ?That will depend the skin you are using.
