RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2013-09-11 Version 2.0.12 : This new version of Advanced Launcher fix bugs added by version 2.0.11. It also improve the way images are downloaded. Changelog :
RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2013-09-11 (2013-09-11, 03:26)Atarian Wrote: Another question that I'm not sure will matter when I rescrape. I tried deleting my game collection and starting fresh, it didnt pull anything in from thegamesdb, of course, but when I browsed the games when it finished, it preserved all of the thumbnails from the other scraper i tried. I even deleted them from the folder and they were still there on my screen. Can I completely delete all info from Advanced Launcher and start entirely fresh?First you have to know that if you delete your game list from Advanced Launcher, the corresponding NFO files, thumbs and images will not be deleted from your hardrive. Also if you want to rescrap thumbss and fanarts you must check into Advanced Launcher settings that the "Overwrite Exiting Files" option is activated (for thumbs and fanarts). If not, Advanced Launcher will automatically take the saved thumbs and fanarts files. Concerning the fact that even after deleting the images, they still appear into XBMC, is due to the fact that XBMC automatically cache all the images. Also the fact that TheGameDB scraper was not able to found any images, may not help you. If you delete your item list, check the "Overwrite Exiting Files" options and perform a new scan, the thumbs and fanart images will be normally updated into XBMC. RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Atarian - 2013-09-11 Thanks again, It's pulling in images from thegamesdb right now. I appreciate the help! RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - bakito - 2013-09-13 angel I got a problem, I had an windows 8 installation ( with dual boot) and windows 7 ( the one with xbmc) yesterday i delete my windows 8 install and since the advanced launcher in windows 7 don't launch pc game " can't find explorer.exe" but I have explorer working in my windows 7.. every emulator works fine, my pc game shortcuts work fine ( in windows) but advance "can't find explorer".... and launch nothing... You have an idea? thanks edit: I found the error, for some reason advanced pointed to the explorer.exe from my windows 8 install disk (??strange??) RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2013-09-13 (2013-09-13, 11:37)bakito Wrote: angel I got a problem, I had an windows 8 installation ( with dual boot) and windows 7 ( the one with xbmc)If you have previoulsy created launchers using explorer.exe with XBMC under Windows 8, it is possible that you selected the default/active explorer.exe file path (the Windows 8 one). Once you have deleted Windows 8, all the created paths into launchers.xml were not anymore valid, and so, give you the error. RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - bakito - 2013-09-13 Yes indeed! But it s funny that it works all that time with explorer from 8 under 7 ! Anyway everything is back to normal! What a relief! Cheers RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - lekkerbek - 2013-09-13 Does anybody know how to open a program (Safari or Chrome for instance) with advanced launcher. I'm on Mac/OSX.

I chose: - standalone launcher - usr/bin/open - application arguments: -a"Applications/Safari.app That's it. Am I forgetting something?

Code: -a /Applications/Safari.app According to this website (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12150569/open-safari-with-url-from-command-line-and-get-process-handle) safari could also be started like this : Code: open -a Safari So :
RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - lekkerbek - 2013-09-13 Apologies for me being an idiot :-) Thanks for your help. It works. RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - mcarni - 2013-09-14 (2013-09-10, 02:54)Angelscry Wrote:(2013-09-09, 15:31)mcarni Wrote:Which versions of XBMC and Advanced Launcher are you using?(2013-09-09, 14:52)Angelscry Wrote: You just have to create a standalone launcher and select your bash script as application. Angelscry, I think I understood what was wrong with my setup. I had my bash script on an nfs share, so when I created my standalone launcher I added my nfs share to the sources. today I did it slightly different, I had the nfs share mounted on /tmp/share by an autostart.sh in .config i then added this /tmp/share to the sources and recreated the launcher. this time everything worked! hope this makes sense and can help thanks again for this addon M Start Firefox on Android - Angelscry - 2013-09-14 Start Firefox on Android Under Android you cannot directly simply start applications using command line. You must have root privileges to do that (su). Also Android's applications are not based on executable files but on activities concept. So you need also to start the activity manage (am). So the complete command line to start Firefox under Android is : Code: su -c 'am start org.mozilla.firefox/.App' Your Android devise must be rooted to have root acces... but if you are running XBMC on it, it is surely the case. So, the corresponding stand-alone launcher settings into Advanced Launcher to start Firefox will be : Application : /bin/su Arguments : -c 'am start org.mozilla.firefox/.App' People interested to discuss about Advanced Launcher support on Android are invited to do it on the Advanced Launcher dedicated forum : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewforum.php?id=16 RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - fr500 - 2013-09-19 Another update to my script, I managed to find a way to start STEAM in BIG PICTURE MODE. All that is required is a small registry tweak. Sadly steam changes it back every time so the script itself has to handle the change. Usage: call launcher_steam with an argument that is the steamid of the game ex: launcher_steam 40800 Script will start steam in big picture mode by default, in this mode steam will **not** close by itself since it's impossible to track the BPM in-game overlay. In desktop mode steam will close itself if it wasn't running in the first place Arguments: launcher_steam gameid [PAUSE] [OFFLINE] [BPM] only the first argument is mandatory, arguments are parsed in order and if null they will use their default value. If you need to set OFFLINE you **must** set a value for PAUSE, if you need to set BPM you **must** set a value for PAUSE **and** OFFLINE PAUSE will define if a process must be tracked possible values are: TRUE|FALSE default is: TRUE OFFLINE will define if STEAM must be started in offline mode possible values are: TRUE|FALSE default is: FALSE BPM will define if STEAM must be started in big picture mode possible values are: TRUE|FALSE default is: TRUE Code: @echo off To use it you must have PsTools installed and on your path. I usually extract those to C:\WINDOWS to make it easy. Also to use BIG PICTURE MODE tweak you must be able to import settings to registry (so no UAC) or you could schedule an import process to run every hour or so. If you have UAC disabled you can save the text below as C:\WINDOWS\BPM.REG and uncomment the REGEDIT line at this section: Code: REM setup steam to start in bpm if required If you're going to use task scheduler for this purpose you should run regedit /s registryfile.reg The registry changes that must be made are the following: Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - IceCorp - 2013-09-19 Hi guys, I'm really happy with XBMC and AL plugin, but I have some questions to make my interface works fine. XBMC Version: 12.2 Skin: Aeon MQ4 AL Version: 2.0.12 View: Show Case Style: Plot Style As you can see below in Red, there are 2 space for a multimidia file (picture or video ), but I cannot find how. On xbmc.log, there are some line that shows some wrong configuration or something: Code: 11:20:13 T:2412 NOTICE: Thread Jobworker start, auto delete: true I already tried put JPG file with same rom's name on: <root rom>\Fanart <root rom>\Fanart Extra <root rom>\Fanarts <root rom>\Thumbnails And a MP4 file on: <root rom>\Trailer Is there another configuration to do or AL cannot show an image/video in this view ? Thanks a lot IceCorp |
