[CLOSED] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC
No worries @markzilla I've been there too with my Kodi install Smile

As you can see I'm on Windows so not launching Bash scripts but maybe if you posted it up or the gist of what it does maybe we can help as a collective brains trust. Smile
Its a bit complicated, but here goes.

I have a script (actually, many, but I'll get there) on my main HTPC which executes another script on another Ubuntu Desktop machine, and then sleeps for some time. The Ubuntu Desktop script is a series of xdotools commands which opens chrome, and signs into a sport streaming service here in SA (totally legit, I have an account), and then sets up OBS (Open Broadcast Software) and starts the stream, which is sent to an NGINX server running on my main HTPC. The initial script then completes its sleep, and sends a Player.Open json command to kodi, which starts to play my selected stream in full screen, with sound, and allows me to control the stream via the Kodi remote on my phone. Yay me!

When I use Advanced Launcher to launch the bash script, i get the aforementioned silly message, and what kills the experience altogether is that it doesn't go away, so even as the Rugby is on in the background, I see the box saying that its "Opening Stream" and then when I click on cancel, it starts the process of cancelling, which takes about a minute. I have no idea what its trying to open. The stream continues to play after the message goes away.

Lastly, when I stop the stream, another script it triggered when I press the stop button which closes the stream on the Ubuntu desktop. I used a service plugin to achieve this, cant remember the name offhand. Will be happy to find it if anybody is interested.

So I guess im not sure why I went into this kind of detail, possibly because I am really proud of my idea to get my desired "desktop" stream into kodi. But if there is anybody out there who could help me with my issue, that would be swell. Smile
Well you are beyond my skill set with that one but my brain suggests that Kodi isn't getting the message that the stream has indeed been opened and to close the dialog. This chap had a similar issue and resolved it in his python code. Not sure if it helps but might suggest an angle of attack.

Hi to all.
There is a way to speed up AL launch?
My launcher.xml is more than 10 MB and when I start AL or browser the emulators it require a lot of time
Hi everyone,

I seem to be getting a 404 error wherever I attempt to download the plugin, can someone please point me in the right direction.

Thank you.
Hey, kids. Long-time listener, first-time caller here. I'm trying to set up Advanced Launcher to run some Neo Geo games via Kawaks. However, the command line format for Kawaks does not play nicely with Advanced Launcher's standard format for passing variables through. I found a link to a method of doing this way back in this thread, but that link has been dead for some time. Has anyone else managed to do this? If so, how?

Thank you,
--skypilot
Hi. Coming back after a hiatus and was saddened to learn of AL's status. May I ask someone in the know how I should treat the program?

- It's unsupported now. Is it likely that this will remain the status quo?

- Does that materially make a difference other than access through the official repository? (as in, I understand it still works just fine, right?)

- Is it expected that this will probably remain the primary general program launcher for the foreseeable future?

- Are there any forks, branches, or alternatives waiting in the wings that I should consider?

Thanks much.
I don't think Angelscry looks at this thread any more. He did post a good few months back and pointed people to a forum page but I've never gotten it to work so I think we are on our own as far as support goes.

I downloaded it from the github link in the first post and it works for me launching video game emulators and steam games.

If it stops working completely (which I can't see that it would) then I will probably launch things using a combination of creating Auto Hot Key executables and calling them from custom add ons that I have developed.
Another kind soul provided a link to their copy. The GitHub account appears to be dead, unfortunately.
@markzilla I am from RSA too, I assume you are talking about Supersport? I am interested in how you got Supersport to stream to Kodi, been trying to figure this out for months! I have a premium subscription so I can log in from a browser. Please share your information with me.
Really, the github is gone? Time to back up that add-on just in case.
Would someone be able to post the latest version of the addon?
Hi all..

I have been looking into launching EmulationStation from KODI to make it easier for the kids and found that I need to use Advanced Launcher.

As this is no longer available to download is there any alternative to launch an application from KODI?

Would also really appreciate if anyone can share the latest build..

ThanksSmile

I should like to try and find that link again, but can't remember where it was linked from. Maybe the Kodi forums that someone provided a Dropbox link to?
