RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - DocMAX - 2013-11-05 And onother silly question. Why does Advanced Launcher always ask for a fanpic/thumbnail directory? What does it mean? Either to put all fanpics in that folder or choose a folder as resource for pics? I my option this is useless.

Why does Advanced Launcher always ask for a fanpic/thumbnail directory? What does it mean? Either to put all fanpics in that folder or choose a folder as resource for pics? I my option this is useless.Asked thumbs and fanarts folders, during launcher creation will be used to store downloaded images from scraper and could ALSO be used as resources. If you use an XBMC add-on like WatchDog that will automatically delete all the thumb/fanart images from the cache that are not into the XBMC video library, you will be happy to have them saved somewhere else on your system. If you want to change your HTPC system or duplicate XBMC on a different system and have a 20.000 roms collection, you will be happy to not have to rescrap anything from the start. If your already have some thumb/fanart roms images sets, you will be happy to use them with Advanced Launcher. So... YOU may not have interest to use/save thumbs and fanarts images on your system, but other users may have one. (2013-11-05, 14:51)Szymon_Zy Wrote:The script is only for when you are running XBMC into standalone mode. Normally you will not need it when running XBMC under LXDE. Does increasing the launcher delay or force XBMC to minimize give you positive results? http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=85724&pid=1543085#pid1543085(2013-11-05, 13:33)Angelscry Wrote:(2013-11-05, 09:32)Szymon_Zy Wrote: I got:Are you sure openbox is installed on your system? According to your screenshot, XBMC is windowed, but I did not see any windows top bar controls that must appears if XBMC is started under openbox. If you still have problem use the kill scripté RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Szymon_Zy - 2013-11-05 Tried everything including kill. Always the same. Using LXDE, starting XBMC from console, using xbmc-standalone etc. I give up, spent few hours to make it work and failed. Delay 10 000 did nothing. It looks like rPi operates GPU in different way and won't clear screen for some reason. Maybe build is somehow broken. How ever i can't use OpenElec becouse it doesn't let me install vice or scummvm.

I first noticed this today. I'm running Frodo 12.2.Due to the fact that the last version of Advanced Launcher has removed the MobyGames scappers, if your Advanced Launcher settings was set to use the MobyGames scrapper, you could have an error. Close XBMC, try to rename or delete the xbmc/userdata/addon_data/plugin.program.advanced.launcher/settings.xml file then restart XBMC. The problem would must be fixed. Aha! That did the trick! Thanks!

RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - toasterboy1 - 2013-11-15 If I highlight Advanced Launcher and press c I do not get an option to create a new launcher. If I select and hit enter I get a working dialog and then a error that it cannot connect to the network server. The only thing I see in the log is the following 2 lines: Code: 02:02:33 T:3038504704 ERROR: GetDirectory - Error getting plugin://plugin.program.advanced.launcher/ Anyone with thoughts?

The only thing I see in the log is the following 2 lines:Highlighting Advanced Launcher an press "C" do not give options for launcher creation. This is normal. You must enter into Advanced Launcher to be able to create a launcher. Advanced Launcher do not need any network server connection when just launched. Network connection is only needed during scraping. The rest of the time, all is done locally. So... that's a strange error message. Which version of Advanced Launcher are you using? Which version of XBMC are you using? Which skin and skin version are you using? RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - toasterboy1 - 2013-11-15 Advanced Launcher 2.0.15 Started with fresh XBMCbuntu 12.00 beta1 repack install due to ATI x1250 graphics card seemed to be the only one that worked. Upgraded all the packages through synaptic so it is running 13.0-Alpha9 now.

I'm actually on 13.0-Alpha10, I do not have any error. Maybe it will be more safe for you to use the 12.2 stable version of XBMC.

Hi Angelscry, Just trying to work out how to launch Windows 8 metro apps (mainly Angry Birds) using the above guide you posted and i'm getting stumped at the first part - I located the url name in regedit but when I create a new shortcut and put the url into the shortcut location, it comes up with "file cannot be found" I've tried a few different apps but all have the same error message - any ideas where i'm going wrong? Basically, I would like to launch Angry Birds and other apps/games from XBMC Many thanks RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2013-11-17 (2013-11-17, 18:18)Buff Wrote:Please, post the content of your launchers.xml file using pasetbin service.(2012-11-24, 20:59)Angelscry Wrote: Start Windows 8 Metro Apps.
