Hi with Advanced Launcher I can add any executable I wish to XBMC. This is really useful, as it means I can include games, twitter, Facebook etc at pretty much do as I please. For me though I wish to make a separate section for 'Games' and basically have my old 2001 XBMC back almost like it used to be, except with much more modern games and much more capable hardware.
However ideally initially (and as a test case) I would like to be able to add an entry created by advanced launcher to the XBMC home screen. For example, for reasons of pure image quality and superior EPG capability, I use Advanced Launcher to launch an instance of MediaPotal from within XBMC exclusively for Live TV viewing. On the face of it, it works really well. But to get to the MediaPortal executable (Windows 7), I have to jump through 3 or 4 different subdirectory levels, before being able to launch MP. However I would much prefer it if I could just add an Advanced Launcher entry to the XBMC home screen and call this 'Live TV', so that when I clicked on it, it would instantly launch an instance of MP. The Idea would be to create a seamless integration between XBMC and MP.
The problem is that as of now as cool a skin as Aeon Nox is, it can't see inside the directory created by Advanced Launcher to see the executable script it has created in order to launch MP. All it can see is the 'advanced launcher' script itself.
In order to see the problem you would probably have to install advanced launcher and try to do this (or add any executable using this) to the home screen yourself.
Can anyone help?
