RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - qtipbailey - 2013-06-14 Question: OK, so I created a launcher that launches Firefox with arguments such that it opens my Netflix home page in full screen mode and when closing Firefox it returns me to XBMC. So, I essentially have my own little Netflix add-on. I even gave it a Netflix icon. Now, is there no way to place the launcher I created into the Videos->Add-ons menu? So along with the Hulu, YouTube, etc. video plugins, my Netflix "add-on" will also be listed there? Frodo, default Confluence skin RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2013-06-15 (2013-06-14, 21:14)qtipbailey Wrote: Question: OK, so I created a launcher that launches Firefox with arguments such that it opens my Netflix home page in full screen mode and when closing Firefox it returns me to XBMC.

The way to do what you are asking, is normally to create a Favourite of your Netlix Launcher, and under skin settings, add this favourite as a video submenu entry. But Confluence skin, at the opposite of others skins, do not allows to add favourites as menu entry. RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2013-06-15 (2013-06-14, 21:14)styx06 Wrote: SOLVED!I also a problem that I encounter on my linux based HTPC system. It seems that restoring XBMC into fullscreen mode occurs in 2 steps under openbox : maximizing the XBMC windows and put it into fullscreen. That the transition between the two steps that we visualy observe. First thing you can try to avoid this is to go into your launcher settings : Edit Launcher > Advanced modification > and set Toogle XBMC into Windows mode to OFF. Like this XBMC will stay into fullscreen mode when you will start or close your script. In addition, the second thing you can try, is using the wmctrl command in your script to move XBMC windows on the second desktop before starting your application, then return XBMC windows to the active Desktop (Desktop 1) after closing your application.

Try using the program "Focus Bitch", I re-uploaded it here It should work perfectly and far easier than the way you've mentioned.

Adding wmctrl line before killing openbox did the trick. Next up: audio stops after a while when the TV screen goes to sleep. Apparently it kills of the complete HDMI signal, including audio. No energy saving options turned on in the TV, so must be something induced by XBMC... RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - bakito - 2013-06-17 @ styx06 Are you using an ATI card? I run into a similar problem of sound off after tv went to sleep...it came from shitty drivers... if so try to use the latest drivers for your card...it work for me. Good luck cheers RE: Start Windows 8 Metro Apps - gizmotoy - 2013-06-18 (2012-11-24, 20:59)Angelscry Wrote: Start Windows 8 Metro Apps. I tried using this method to create a launcher for the Metro version of Netflix. The setup works fine, but Windows says "Do you want to allow this website to open an app on your computer." I have to click allow every time. I tried lowering the security settings in Internet Explorer, but nothing seems to work. Any idea what I need to change to make this work right?

I'm trying to pass parameter to run a .lnk. Here is my code: Code: Run(@ComSpec & ' /c "D:\HTPC\Games\PC\& $CmdLine[2] &.lnk", @DesktopCommonDir, @SW_HIDE) It wont compile. Whats wrong in my code?

What I'm trying to achieve is that: - my .lnk (the one I read into xbmc) point to launcher.exe (autoit) - and the launcher.exe runs then the game .lnk (in a different folder) - the launcher.exe itself shows a little loading screen with the cd (pc games) spinning and a fanart as background But I got stuck. I'm using the code (improved) above in my launcher.exe but the game wouldn't start. It just switches to windows. My argument is %rom% and the application is explorer.exe in advanced launcher. What am I doing wrong? Cheers. RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2013-06-19 (2013-06-19, 14:58)lokipoki Wrote:Your argument must not be %rom% but %romname%. As indicated into the user guide, %rom% is returning the complete path of the rom file (path+name+extension) while %romname% is just returning the name of the file without extension. Also your script use the parameter $CmdLine[2], so this mean that your autoscript is waiting at least 2 arguments. And as you write before it seems that you only paste one through Advanced Launcher.(2013-06-19, 14:27)Angelscry Wrote:(2013-06-19, 13:14)lokipoki Wrote: Hey.You forget to open/close some single quotes.
