RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2014-02-15 (2014-02-15, 11:08)codepony Wrote: Okay, good to know it's not just me. I fixed _get_game_data() to grab the required info, then I decided to recode the _get_games_list() to use the API... I didn't realize why you were scraping the search listings until I started testing my code XD Oh well, I learned a bit of Python in the processThe ComicVine API is good to grad the content of a specific issue, but it is really a nightmare to found easily a specific issue. That's why I'm scraping the ComicVine search engine. I have fixed and improved a little the _get_games_list() function last week-end (http://pastebin.com/6n6cC0uv) until I have discoverd that I was blocked by the ComicVine API error problem to get issue content. EDIT : Ok... it will be fixed soon by the next relase of Advanced Launcher. Version 2.2.7 - Angelscry - 2014-02-15 Version 2.2.7 : This new version of Advanced Launcher fix the ComicVine data scraper. Changelog :

RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - xaph - 2014-02-18 Hi everyone! I just got my emulators to work on XBMC, now the "final touch" and Im very happy! As this picture of my xbmc is showing, Im currently having my emulators in favourites and I would like to be able to access it much easier. Now I have a cathegory called Emulators, as the picture is showing, and when I click I have several emulators listed there - and when you are lazy you want to minimize the number of "clicks" you have to do to play the games. For example make it like the "music" or "movies" button, if you know what I mean. Is there anyway to make this? And to clarify, Im kind of new to XBMC and advanced launcher Thanks in advance!

RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2014-02-18 (2014-02-18, 04:44)xaph Wrote:Go here and check skins that support custom home items (or also custom submenu items). Install the skin. Then into Advanced Launcher create a favourite of your category/launcher/items. Then into the skin settings, create a menu or a submenu entry og this favourite (the way to proceed will depend the skin you will be using).(2014-02-18, 04:41)Angelscry Wrote: With the default XBMC skin, no, it's not possible.

Advanced Launcher disappeared! - davelr - 2014-02-22 I have an HTPC setup running Frodo 12.3 on Win 7 64, using the ACE 2.02 skin. The setup has a number of menu items constructed around Advanced Launcher and has been stable with no configuration changes for a number of months. Last night I noticed that one of my menu choices wasn't responding. When I went to check a number of the others weren't as well. All the non-responsive menu items were ones constructed around advanced launcher. In Settings/Add-Ons/Enabled Add-Ons/Program Add_Ons there is no longer any entry for Advanced Launcher, it's just gone. In Settings/Add-Ons/Get Add-Ons there is still Angelscry Repository and it is still enabled. The last time I can confirm that the Adv Launcher items worked was perhaps a couple of days ago (been watching Olympics). There have been no changes in the system in that time. It doesn't matter which skin is up, the add-on is gone. If anyone has any idea what may have happened or suggestions on how to recover Adv Launcher I'd really appreciate it. I'll be digging into it in the meantime. edit - Sorry forgot to mention that it's not in Disabled Add-Ons either.

So, if you have created those menu entry before version 2.0.0 of Advanced Launcher it will be possible that they are not working anymore. Also XBMC url to calls are like this : plugin://plugin.program.advanced.launcher/?CATEGORY/LAUNCHER/ITEM. So if you create a menu entry for a launcher or an item, and then if into Advanced Launcher you move the launcher to another category, the XBMC url will not be valide/active anymore.

RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - davelr - 2014-02-22 Thanks for quick response. I think there may also be a problem with the Repository entry. Per your instruction: "Uninstall Advanced Launcher from the XBMC (Settings/Add-Ons/Get Add-Ons/Angelscry Repository/Program Add-ons/Advanced Launcher/"C" key/Add-on information/Disable/Uninstall)." in my system now, however, there are no entries past "Angelscry Repository", just a blank screen. I would guess this means something clobbered the Repository as well? RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2014-02-22 (2014-02-22, 18:10)davelr Wrote: Thanks for quick response.Try to select the Angelscry Repository into XBMC Settings/Add-Ons/Get Add-Ons/Angelscry Repository/"C" key then select "Check for Updates" and "Force Refresh". Wait 1 or 2 minutes, close XBMC and restart XBMC. RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - davelr - 2014-02-22 Angelscry: Thanks, things are back to normal, but repair did not go exactly as you instructed. In order to pass on what did happen... Your fix for the repository worked correctly and restored its menu entries, however the steps past that had the following results: •Uninstall Advanced Launcher from the XBMC (Settings/Add-Ons/Get Add-Ons/Angelscry Repository/Program Add-ons/Advanced Launcher/"C" key/Add-on information/Disable/Uninstall). -- There was no response to the "C" key. Pressing <Enter> instead gave the normal Advanced Launcher maintenance window with only "Install" and "Change Log" activated. There were NO entries under "Change Log". It appeared that Adv Lau was not installed. •Close XBMC. •Delete the /xbmc/addons/plugin.program.advanced.launcher directory (DO NOT DELETE the /xbmc/userdata/addon_data/plugin.program.advanced.launcher folder). --The "Plugin.program.advanced.launcher folder did not exist. •Delete any Advanced Launcher related packages located into xbmc/addons/packages directory. -- The "..packages" directory did not exist. •Restart XBMC •Close XBMC •Restart XBMC •Reinstall Advanced Launcher from the XBMC (Settings/Add-Ons/Get Add-Ons/Angelscry Repository/Program Add-ons). --The reinstall went correctly and all menu items now work. FWIW, it looked exactly like Adv Lau had been uninstalled, but I have no idea how. I didn't do it, and trust me, neither did my wife or cat... Thanks for all the help. |
