RE: [CLOSED] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - idojius - 2015-08-17 Hello, I would like to be able to launch a batch file in Kodi that opens a certain application (like Chrome, Spotify, or an emulation frontend), then closes Kodi, and when I close the application reopens Kodi again. That´s my intention but I´m quite new at programming and I don´t know what I have to put into the script. I´ve been searching on this thread but I can´t find the code. I would appreciate if someone on this thread could give me any advice. Sorry for my bad English but I´m from Spain and this is not my main language. Best regards, RE: [CLOSED] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - dpandkp - 2015-08-17 (2015-08-17, 20:39)idojius Wrote: Hello, Good afternoon. Research a microsoft app called pssuspend. I use pssuspend to auto close KOdi/XBMC at the launch of an app and then re-activate after the app closes. When you set up a launcher you'll want to use the format of "filename/link" {exename of app to monitor}. For example, one of the batch files I use for loading PSP roms has an argument set of "Dungeon Siege Throne of Agony" PPSSPPWindows.exe. Therefore, when the PPSSPPWindows.exe process ends, Kodi/EBMC will re-open and fullscreen maximize. Hope that helps.

RE: [CLOSED] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - dcquence - 2015-08-19 You could write a very simple batch file that does the same thing. Just have a batch file that contains: taskkill /im kodi.exe /f && timeout 1 && "C:\path to application" && "C:\program files (x86)\kodi\kodi.exe" Not sure if AL can point directly to a .BAT file but if not just make a shortcut to it and point to the .LNK file. Edit: this version works much better. I use a VBS script personally but that's due to all my games being password protected from the kids.

Taking a swing in the dark here. RE: [CLOSED] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - saeta44 - 2015-09-04 Howdy, folks! Long time reader, just joined the forums so that I can finally, properly participate. I'll be adding support in the future, naturally, but for the time being I'm curious to see if anyone has a clue where to start with expanding Advanced Launcher to include TVTunes functionality. This way we can have the themes from our games playing in the background as we go through the menu. TVTunes normally only supports the Video menu/node in Kodi but its author says that you can add TVTunes (script add-on) functionality to other addons by using the "Custom Window" instructions found here: kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:TvTunes I feel as though I'm at the cusp of being able to get this to work, albeit perhaps in a "hacky" way where all items in the "Programs" window might try to look for associated songs (I suppose that might happen if I tried to make a skin's "Program" view use TVTunes), but I dunno... Complicating this- or not? I'm not great at coding- is that both Advanced Launcher and TVTunes are programmed in Python, so it's not a simple matter of adding XML code to Advanced Launcher so far as I know. Honestly, this would add some wonderful charm to my PC games menu if I can get it to go, but I feel like it's just out of my grasp and I'm curious to see if anyone else has done this (nothing I'm finding here on the forums), or if someone with a better grasp for these things might be able to reason it out with more ease than I can. I'll report back if I see any progress. Doesn't matter to me if I need to add a line or two to Advanced Launcher (the ideal), or if it can work in a more general way by adding a few lines of code to a skin's MyPrograms.xml file or something. PS: For anyone interested, the Cirrus Extended skin supports Trailers with Advanced Launcher, so far as I can tell.

I am def a noob with linux and kodi, but have been able to get some stuff figured out. But, here i am a little stumped. I was able to download this using the following url: https://github.com/Angelscry/plugin.program.advanced.launcher.git . However, when I go into add a plugin from zip there is not anything there in the folder to install. all i get is the folders with no files in them. A little poke in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The Zip file is here: https://github.com/Angelscry/plugin.program.advanced.launcher/archive/master.zip But i could have sworn advanced launcher was in the official repo? Maybe not.. can't remember for sure. But copy that Zip file to a usb/or anywhere on the kodi box.. Go to "Install add-on via zip" and point it to that.. should do the trick.

RE: [CLOSED] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - mariano198596 - 2015-09-09 You can put a folder with shortcuts and PC games that will be upgrading alone, instead of putting one by one? RE: [CLOSED] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - idojius - 2015-09-09 Hi, A few weeks ago I posted here asking for help to write an script that I could use with Advanced Launcher and be able to close or suspend Kodi, launch some emuator games and after finishing reopen Kodi again. First I tried using BigBox as a frontend because I thought It would be easier to add and scrape the rom files than using Advanced Launcher for that purpose. So, thanks to your help, I created a batch file and configured it in Advanced Launcher as a standalone executable. It launches the BigBox application, Kodi goes into Window Mode and after quitting the frontend, Kodi goes fullscreen again, but while gaming is still running in the background. This is the batch script that I used: Code: taskkill /f /im kodi.exe Here are the settings that I used in Advanced Launcher: Then I changed my mind and decided to make it simple and only use Advanced Launcher to launch emulator games.I tested both batch and autoit scripts to integrate the emulators into Kodi. First I tried with an Autoit script with the Dolphin emulator, compiled it to an .exe file, configured it in Advanced Launcher, scraped the games and everything seemed to work fine, but when I launched the emulator I got this error message: This is the Autoit script that I used with Dolphin: Code: HotKeySet("!{F4}", "Terminate") And the Advanced Launcher settings: So, what I´m doing wrong? I would like to have my Kodi setup as integrated as posible but I´m a beginner at programming and I don´t know how to get this to work. Sorry if I made mistakes here and there but I´m from Spain and this is not my main language.
