RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2014-01-29 (2014-01-29, 23:08)tonesmalone Wrote: I have all my roms in their own folders and have advanced launcher set to save thums and fanart to the rom folder when added to advanced launcher. Is it also possible to save the rom nfo file to the rom folder? Would make reimporting easier.That's not actually the case?

Thanks! RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2014-01-30 (2014-01-30, 02:16)tonesmalone Wrote: Awesome. Thanks!What is not working exactly? Exporting .NFO files of importing .NFO files? I have just checked the import/exports .NFO files options, on my system, with recursive scan option, with each roms into its own folder and all is working correctly. As you can see here the .nfo file has been created into the same directory than the roms. As I'm not able to reproduce your problem on my system, could you please post here the content of your launchers.xml file (using pastebin service), so I will surely be able to found what is going wrong. RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - tonesmalone - 2014-01-31 Thanks for looking into it for me My launchers.xml file is too big for pastebin unfortunately, however I have uploaded it to dropbox instead; hope that's ok. https://www.dropbox.com/s/w2w3mu4skf1hs9w/launchers.xml RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - bloodroses75 - 2014-02-01 I am curious, is there a chance a site could be setup where we could share our Advanced Launcher configurations? My main interest is with emulators. I currently have some consoles completely setup with descriptions, fanarts, and thumbnails for the US version of their roms and it has been royally a pain in the butt to setup. A good idea in my opinion would be to create a site similar to thegamesdb and use a common base naming set (like the good tools naming scheme) for the database. Have the site host all the scrapping information and allow registered members the ability to add to the database with their own thumbs, fanarts, descriptions they've been able to collect from the other various sites. I know it's just a thought, but if anyone has the resources to set the site up to be implemented into Advanced Launcher, I think it would be very convenient.

RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - dkplayaclub - 2014-02-01 Searching for "advanced launcher firefox" brings up way too much stuff. Has anyone made a simple guide to follow to make firefox launch in full screen mode to a set website?

Why I would want to have my Advanced Launcher exactly setup like yours? Beauty of Advanced Launcher is that users can use and setup their HTPC system through XBMC exactly as they want not as everybody must have it. If you want to add Advanced Lauhncher's application setup : complete the WIKI pages with the missing information -> http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?title=Main_Page If you want to scrap console game data : use the scraper included into Advanced Launcher you want. The database related to the scraper you are using miss some information : just complete it -> http://thegamesdb.net/register/ If you want an XBMC add-on that manage your roms : use RCB -> http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=70115 I don't think it will be necessary to create a specific website.

Why I would want to have my Advanced Launcher exactly setup like yours? Beauty of Advanced Launcher is that users can use and setup their HTPC system through XBMC exactly as they want not as everybody must have it. Main reason I was thinking that is that I know that the scrapers aren't 100% accurate when it comes to looking up the right title for a particular rom. Again, it comes down to the inconsistent naming conventions used. While I agree a specific website dedicated should not be necessary as sites like thegamesdb.net should have alt title names using established naming sets (goodtools for example), unfortunately none of them do. More often than not, either the wrong title is grabbed or the wrong thumbs/fanarts are grabbed, forcing you to go back through to find the mistakes made. It is something I should probably ask the scraper sites to possibly implement instead. With the same setup, descriptions and box covers I assume should be near identical for a particular rom, which I guess would have been a better way to word the question I had as opposed to just asking for copys of entire setups. As with RCB, I did try it, but did not like the setup nearly as well. The configuration is not nearly as well organized or easy to make changes with. Also, it doesn't offer the ability to launch actual PC programs/games as advanced launcher does. Thank you with the quick reply on my questions and the continual great work on this program.

No error messages are shown RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - tonesmalone - 2014-02-01 I can do it manually by selecting a rom and saving the nfo. However this will take ages as I have thousands of roms. Does it not save nfo files when scanning new items? RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - dkplayaclub - 2014-02-01 Having a really hard time with getting firefox to work through advanced launcher on my Ouya. I was able to get firefox loaded on my ouya, but I can't get it added to Advanced Launcer, as I can't see the containing folder. I also can't figure out how to add anything as a source to my file manager. Willing to do this over PM, email or even TeamSpeak if not to clog the forums.

But you do not even need to save them one by one. Just select your launcher, go into its context menu > Edit Launcher > Manage Items list > Export items data to NFO files. Then it will automatically export the NFO file of the related launcher's items. Here is the corresponding video tutorial : http://www.gwenael.org/Repository%20Archives/tutorial09.php |
