RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - technominds - 2013-05-14 Hey guys, I'm trying to launch safari at a specific website (I'm on OSX) but having difficulty getting anything to work. Is there support for safari/osx? If so, what am I doing wrong?

If so, what am I doing wrong?I do not have any Mac/OSX system, but by searching a few on internet I have found this command to start Safari on a specific website : Code: open -a safari http://www.apple.com I'm supposing that the open binary file is into the /usr/bin directory. So... you can try to create a stand alone launcher with this parameters : Application : /usr/bin/open Arguments : -a safari http://www.xbmc.org RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - technominds - 2013-05-14 (2013-05-14, 18:07)Angelscry Wrote:(2013-05-14, 17:59)technominds Wrote: Hey guys, I'm trying to launch safari at a specific website (I'm on OSX) but having difficulty getting anything to work.

RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - sagaopc - 2013-05-14 i had a backup in Windows 7... i have to remake only CPS1 and lynx... i have to change custom emulators on Nintendo DS too... but the problem was solved!!! it's not a big deal at all! RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - technominds - 2013-05-14 I know you don't have to but I'm going to be copying and pasting large arguments for a slightly more complicated launcher and I can't copy and paste into XBMC. Thank you though!

Strangeness generally appears when you start copy/delete/replace images out of XBMC or Advanced Launcher. . This happened again this evening adding a new game. Will the logs be showing the problem? Let me say, this is the problem. I edit item, select scrape thumbnail, and to scrape, online. Then check the name to scrape, this is then confirmed on the next screen, where there is additional information regarding platform. When selected, there is a pop-up notice about no thumbnail available. Does this still sound like caching? RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - sagaopc - 2013-05-15 same problem with scraper.. i put to search information, i choose thumb (pokémon White (U) for example) and the scrapper download cover but don't show!!!! i try to manually change name of thumb and scrap manually but doesn't work at all!

In this case, which scraper are you using? With which item name, platform? Does the problem only occurs with the same item, or is it a ramdom problem?

I use thegamedb.net to scrape. When I first added these new items I was getting all metadata. I am having these problems since launcher.xml crashed. Item examples: Dreamcast (lxdream) Games get images ScummVM (scummvm) No games get images, but do get info Steam (steam) No games get images, but do get info SNES (zsnes) Games get all images Megadrive (gens) Games get images I need to test this more at home, but it does appear this is per-launcher based, and all use thegamesdb.net.

Path are stored correctly but XBMC is not able to display the images. Maybe a cache acces problem. Just restarting XBMC and thumb or fanart images are displayed correctly as expected. I will try to see If I can found a way to fix this... but it seems mostly linked to a XBMC cache problem as we also observe some time with movies or TV series images.(2013-05-15, 12:42)Angelscry Wrote:(2013-05-15, 01:46)n1md4 Wrote: This happened again this evening adding a new game.

RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - n1md4 - 2013-05-15 I have done more tests. Only ScummVM and Steam are not scraping images only. I also check ALA version, I was running 1.10, then noticed add-on repositories were not functional. I installed your latest repository and tried again. Still no images, but now with another error: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=19343 And now, when I enter ALA, the first folder is empty except for one called 'default', if I click that then there are all my launchers. Has any one seen this before? (sorry really getting my 'money' worth here! Thanks, Angelscry, for all your help!)

Only ScummVM and Steam are not scraping images only.What have you indicated as platform for this 2 launchers? If the platform is wrong, the scrapper will not be able to found the good images. For Steam, it must be IBM PC compatible. For ScummVM... it depend the game you want to play...

Still no images, but now with another error:This problem could be related to Advanced Launcher translation. Some languages are not anymore updated (contributor who stopped to contribute to Advanced Launcher translation). If you put XBMC into default english language does this error occurs again?

Has any one seen this before?Yes... that's Advanced Launcher category support. You can create any category you want, and sort your launcher as you want inside them. The Default category is where launchers that have not been attrubuted to any category are stored... by default. Once you have updated to version 2.x, your launchers have been saved by default into this category. |
