RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - ManFromTW - 2013-02-19

I have a problem: I use both the latest version of XBMC and Advanced Launcher (1.12.2).

But I can't get the explorer.exe / lnk -thing to work. I went exactly like there: http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?title=File_shortcuts

Put my shortcuts (lnk files) in a folder, and added explorer.exe as a launcher.

But now the folder (i.e. "games") appears, but when I click on it, nothing happens Sad

Can anyone help? Kthxybe Big Grin

EDIT: Nevermind, I forgot to scan for new items. Works perfectly thanks

The version of Advanced Launcher hosted on the official repo is not working with Frodo. So it has been marked as broken. If you have also my repo installed, ignore the diplayed message by XBMC.

I'm using your version but it asks me to disable every time i go into nox and i have to click no, will i always have to do this.

Normally it will ask you only on time. I'm not in charge of NOX skin or XBMC repo content.

Weird, I'm using Nox as well, but I only got the popup once.

Batch support seems very confusing to me.

I see examples of simply putting the batch file name into launcher.xml. That doesn't work.
I tried executing cmd.exe with args of /C /batch/ and that doesn't work either.
I know the answer is probably somewhere in this thread but I havent been able to find it. Hopefully someone can take pity, thanks

I also tried .lnk support which is also not very intuitive. Now it seems it has to be passed to explorer.exe .... I guess I will try that next and see if that can then be passed to point to the batch file .... not very elegant.

thanks


RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Chime - 2013-02-21

While I haven't tried .bat files, I do use a folder of windows shortcuts to add my games in advanced launcher. Use explorer.exe, leave the argument as "%rom%" and set the file extension to lnk. If you you're using Steam shortcuts as well, use "lnk|url" as the file extensions.

It should works Just point the launcher to your .bat file and it will be started. I cannot make it more simple. Try to avoid the edit manually your launchers.xml file. Also there is an option hidding by default cmd windows started from Advanced Launcher. You could disable this option into Advanced Launcher settings / Debug menu.

Are you indicating just cmd.exe or the full path : c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe? Have you an launchers.xml file exemple containing application/command that are not working on your system?

In fact for .lnk support you can indicated any application you want. Once Advanced Launcher found a .lnk file extension it will automatically start it with explorer.exe. When you are under Windows and you double click on a .lnk file, it is in fact executed by explorer.exe.

Angelscry, I've been using XBMC for quite a while now but just got round to setting this up with my roms / images and several emulators.

Took a bit of digging to get my head around autoit scripts to get stuff to do what I want and figure out the whole multi cd thing but once I did, well lets just say I didnt stop till I was done Big Grin

All I can say is BRILLIANT, AMAZING, FANTASTIC Nod


RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - User 102910 - 2013-02-22

Angelscry (or somebody else): There is a setting called "delay launcher", it can be set 0 - 2000ms.

Is it possible to increase that value to something like 15 seconds?

I have XBMC standalone without any desktop manager and I don't have any sound in emulators if I don't wait 10 seconds after XBMC plays it last "gui sound". After 10 seconds XBMC unlocks ALSA and then the emulator can take over ALSA.

Currently I have to disable menu sounds to have sound in emulators but maybe it would help if advanced launcher itsself would just wait ~11 seconds and then launch the emulator.

Maybe a strange request, but thank you!!

Actually you cannot do it from Advanced Launcher, but you can do it by editing the Advanced Launcher settings file. For this go into the xbmc/userdata/addon_data/plugin.program.advanced.launcher directory and open/edit the settings.xml file. Replace the line :

Code:
...
<setting id="start_tempo" value="1000.000000" />
...

by

Code:
...
<setting id="start_tempo" value="15000.000000" />
...

For a delai of 15 secondes (15000 millisecondes).

Hi,
I've installed the repo given in first page to get Advanced Launcher.
I installed Advanced Launcher and tried to create a launcher for a web browser.
My problem is that, after I choose my .exe file I have to choose the platform. But, in my case, the pop up for the choice of the platform is empty, I can't choose any so I can't complete the setup for the launcher.
How can I get the choice of the platform ?

HOLY SHIT! THIS WORKED!!! Now I can have GUI sounds AND emulator music. I am so happy!!

You probleme seems to be related to a skin bug. Which skin are you using? Do you have the same problem using the default Confluence skin?


RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - bobby8921 - 2013-02-23

I am using Aeon Nox, with Frodo 12.
The problem is the same with Confluence
