RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2015-01-05 (2015-01-05, 18:59)Chambers Wrote: Hi guys, I have a question regarding this plugin. My current Kodi setup is that the screen will dim after 2 mins of inactivity and then turn off after 5. Naturally Kodi recognizes when I watch videos so it doesn't dim or turn off the screen. I am using the advanced launcher plugin to start IE in fullscreen-mode to open up a website like Fox News to watch the live stream. The problem I have is that when IE is running, the screen dim's and then turns off because Kodi thinks there isn't any activity. Is there a setting I can add to my shortcuts that tell Kodi that while it's running that it is in fact an active process and that not to invoke the power saving features?You have to setup XBMC to disable dim and turn off. RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - mingooski - 2015-01-05 Hi, Have been using Kodi/Xbmc for about 2 weeks now, so im pretty new to this experience. I have setup Kodi to work with Madvr, thanks to a guide on this forum. And have setup EPSXE + SNES9X + FUSION364 to work with Kodi, thanks to Advanced Launcher But i have some problem setting up PCSX2 correctly with Kodi/Advanced Launcher. I can start the games with no problem and play them. But i cant shut down PCSX2 within Kodi/Advanced Launcher, I can press Escape on my DS4 button and return to Advanced Launcher menu, but PCSX2 r5875 exe is still running in the background, making DS4window and Kodi crash. I have to go to desktop and kill the process with taskmanager. Now i been searching for solution and only found this; http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=168003 but that was in 2013 and this; http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Close-PCSX2-after-ending-emulation It seems this can only be fixed with scripts? The scripts above from Kodi thread, is it something i can copy paste into Advanced Launcher config file? Im srry i never scripted before, and i hope its something that i can do without learning scripting.

Thanks for the quick reply, is there any way for me to script this? Or is that just not part of the intended use for this addon? It's no big deal, if anything i'll just close Kodi and launch the link manually, thanks! RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2015-01-05 (2015-01-05, 19:37)mingooski Wrote: Hi,No. You need to compile those scripts and then start them from Advanced Launcher instead of the emulator executable. In your first example, with the autoit script, you will need to install and use the Autoit software (https://www.autoitscript.com/site/) to write and compile the script.

RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - mingooski - 2015-01-05 Angelscry thanks for the reply, I will look into autoit, i hope compiling the script in autoit is as easy as pressing a button to compile xD If not i will have to research more. Edit It works! Thanks angelscry, It was easier then expected, i thought i had to watch tutorials xD RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - enolive - 2015-01-06 (2015-01-05, 13:30)Angelscry Wrote:(2015-01-05, 06:37)enolive Wrote: I changed my system configuration so that I run openbox/kodi instead of kodi-standaloneAnd it works better with this new configuration? Yes, it works perfectly. FYI, there is a whole thread describing this problem with an even easier solution: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=213257 RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - bleakassassin - 2015-01-09 Hey, I'm still getting a lot of use out of Advanced Launcher! I'm here with a couple of suggestions/additional features I thought would make the add-on even better. The first one I asked about several months ago, but never got a response to. The second one I'm not sure has ever been suggested. 1) Can you add support for VBScript (.vbs) files? I have some batch files run through it so no command prompt windows appear while performing certain tasks. It would certainly help making some launchers feel more natural and less "OMG there's a command prompt window I'm so intimidated"-y for others who use my HTPC. 2) Many skins have a "Kiosk Mode" option. Would you be able to hide certain options from the context menu when Kiosk Mode is enabled? For example, I wouldn't want others messing with launcher settings or deleting categories flat-out while using the HTPC. I have no idea if this is possible on your end, but it'd be great if you added it. Thanks!

So, if you want to start VB scripts, you just have to use the dedicated command line. According form this source (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23074430/how-to-run-vbscript-from-command-line-without-cscript-wscript) the command line may be like this : Code: wscript /nologo path/where/is/located/your/scriptname.vbs So for a standalone launcher the corresponding setup will be similar to : Application: C:\WINDOWS\System32\wscript.exe Arguments: /nologo path/where/is/located/your/scriptname.vbs So for a files launcher the corresponding setup will be similar to : Application: C:\WINDOWS\System32\wscript.exe Arguments: /nologo %roms% Items path: path/where/is/located/your File extension: vbs (2015-01-09, 07:53)bleakassassin Wrote: Many skins have a "Kiosk Mode" option.

I upgraded to KODI and advanced launcher is no longer showing the keyboard or letting me type in titles. The previously created links still work and I can make it create launchers for firefox but I can't edit the link or type anything in. The keyboard is blank. Any ideas or help?

Switching to Confluence makes it work just fine. Should have thought of that...

Btw - I don't own the game Bust-a-Move (my first title is "Automobil Lamborghini"), very weird behaviour ..

Does it happen with all the data scrappers? RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Kazuya FR - 2015-01-12 Hi, Thanks for the launcher, it's a great feature. I use it to launch my PC games. I have a problem with Fanart and Thumb scrapers, they don't work, none of them. Whereas Information scraper with GameFAQs works. What's the problem ? I think GamesDB should work, the database contains my games pictures. Thanks |
