I'd also like to THANK you (again!) for your time and effort with this add on. It is literally the most important add on on my Kodi box -my family and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It's coders like you who make this community special.

Hopefully the community can continue some sort of AL support -I know if it ever breaks I'll personally have to find another option beside Kodi!

How do you download this app?

Does it work like rom collection browser

[aoaaron]

Advanced launcher opens the games but it doesn't return to XBMC.

I want advanced launcher to close XBMC, Open dolphin then when I close dolphin, open XBMC at where I was like RCB.

Is this possible?

Have you take time to read the first post of this thread? All the replies to your questions are in it.

You will have to write/use a script (sh, bat, vb, etc...) to do this.

[bakito]

you can use an autoit script to do that although it is not necessary with dolphin here is an exemple of such a script ( here it is for pcsx)

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

If $CmdLine[0] == 1 Then
ProcessClose ( "XBMC.exe" )
Run ( '"j:\emulations\PS2\emulateur\PCSX2 1.0.0\pcsx2.exe" --nogui --fullscreen "' & $CmdLine[1] & '"', "j:\emulations\PS2\emulateur\PCSX2 1.0.0\" )
While 1
Sleep(100)
WEnd
EndIf

Func Terminate()
ProcessClose ( "pcsx2.exe" )
Run ( '"e:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\XBMC.exe"' )
WinWait ( "XBMC" )
WinActivate ( "XBMC" )
Exit 0
EndFunc


of course you have to point to dolphin and not pcsx2.exe and you have to add "/b /e" without quote as argument for dolphin.exe ( to remplace " --nogui --fullscreen" of the above script)
and point to the correct xbmc.exe in your system...
Again such a script is not needed for doplhin unless you want to have dolhin to run alone for more usable power...
you can find autoit there:https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/

(note that tis script also make "esc" the exit button but again in dolphin it is not necessary)

which skin is this........skin used in above snaps

Setting for what exactly? Your Minix system is under Windows? Linux? Android?

Hi,

It is Android.

TBH I'm not sure, I'm stuck at this point.

The Launcher states it is launching but the emulator screen doesn't appear on-screen as it does when running on Windows.... I was thinking there may be a setting required somewhere to have the emulator appear on-screen?

Which emulator are you using? Are you trying to start a Windows dedicated emulator on an Android based system?

I've tried both Windows .exe. emulators and apk...does anyone know of a specific ones that work for each platform?

Hi. Windows user here. A while back when Xmbc was called Xmbc I set up AL to launch Pale Moon, the browser I use. At the time as far I remember it didn't work. Actually I had forgotten until I looked at AL tonight/morning, and saw pale moon listed. So I decided to give it a go, and it worked fine. Although for some reason when i go to run Pale moon, it asks me if i want to save the exe file. The thing is, now I've forgotten how to use AL to run a program. If I right click pale moon in my AL menu, i see
one of the options is "create new launcher" Then I get "standalone Launcher, files launcher etc etc. So I choose "Standalone Launcher" which brings up "xfinity installer" flash drive, fusion, and xmbc. Okay, i have a feeling that fusion is the one i choose. But anyway, if i do choose fusion, there is nothing there. ie no folders or files to go into to find an exe file to run. If I choose "add sources" that seems to be to be to do with running a media file, and not an exe file. So any help would be appreciated.

[spyder]

@irish66 - Try adding your 'program files' folder(or C drive) to your file manager sources.

[J7AYU]

Could anybody help me write a script? What i would like it to do is auto extract a 7z archive to Temp\Temp_PSX then when emulation is ended delete the extracted files if that makes sense?

[irish66]

SPYDER. Thank you very much. That worked fine. It seems so obvious now of course.

Having a bit of an issue and hoping someone can help me.

I am running XBMCBuntu Gotham (updated to 13.2). Since my need to is launch an app (EmulationStation) outside of XBMC, I am doing so by setting Openbox as the default desktop and launching XBMC from there so that I have an actual window manager running. Most of that work was taken from here: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid1706466

I am using AL to launch EmulationStation via a bash script. Here are the contents...

Code:

#!/bin/bash
killall -9 xbmc.bin
emulationstation
xbmc

Doesn't get much simpler. Problem is that upon exiting EmulationStation and returning to XBMC, I am greeted with the "Remote Communication Server Failed to start" message. Here is the error taht is captured in the logs:

Code:

In my research I found that I can see which ports are currently in a listening state with the following command:

Code:

sudo lsof -i -P | grep -i "listen"

This produces....

Code:

xbmc@HTPCT420:~$ sudo lsof -i -P | grep -i "listen"

If I am reading this right, does this mean that my shell script (named es.sh) itself is the culprit and listening on a port that XBMC wants to use (JSON)? If so, is there something I can add to the script to close itself before XBMC launches?

FYI...if I disable Settings --> Services --> Remote Control --> Allow programs on other systems to control XBMC, the error does not present itself.

TIA!

Is it possible to sort games by a "Sort title", the same as you can do with movies?

[bakito]

Yes you can!
Cheers

[some Chump]

Yes you can!

How do you do it?
