I really don't know what it could be.

Sebastatu Wrote:Bro, Is there any way you can have your own subforum for this launcher on these boards? there are so many questions asked, it is easy to lose track, not to mention get lost among all of the pages. A forum of your own would keep things organized, rather than have one big thread with all kinds of issue thrown in together. its hard to keep track. Hope it is possible.

lophie Wrote:Let me elaborate: So I add a stand alone launcher without thumbnails or fanart. Then go to edit thumbnail then import them. Then a dialog comes to let me select one of the imported thumbnails. Well I cannot click on any of them!!!

Angelscry Wrote:Normally it may works. It could be related to the skin you are using. Have you try using the Confluence Skin? Also, are you using XBMC Live?

butchabay Wrote:I can confirm, it's skin related ... not working in confluence and all the skins are based on confluence (like cirrus) ... i am trying to find out why!
Working well in Night ... till is not fixed, switch to night make your selections and then switch back to confluence.

Cheers

cdanderson04 Wrote:Hey man.

Thanks for the swift reply. I am just going to post the whole launcher.xml because it isn't very long. What happens is that when I try to open the ROM my screen goes black and then i can see my desktop a little bit and then it goes back to the interface for the script. No script error or anything like that. Hope that helps and any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Sebastatu Wrote:Btw I found out why the script.py kept failing everytime I tried to download an image with certain applications. It was weird, because it would only work with some applications and not with others. not sure if this has been posted. but every time I tried to download fanart for any app with a colon ( in the name, Ie: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. It would fail. I had to get rid of the colon for it work. Same with every other app. Still a pain in the neck though.

• Are you under Windows, Linux, OSX, XBMC live?
  
• How do you get the fanart : semi-automatic, automatic mode, manual edit ?
  
• Which scraper do you use : GameFAQs, Google, MobyGames, MAMEWorld?
  

Angelscry Wrote:Strange yes... It works for me under Confluence but not under Alsaka.Revisited. I have try this under Linux but not under Windows yet. For the thumbnails /fanarts selections Advanced Launcher is using the DialogSelect.xml skin file. I will take a look closer at it this week-end. Added to my todo list.
