Hi,

I can't launch Rom collection browser from the shortcut in the main screen since upgrading to Kodi v14. With Previous version xbmc 13.2 it was ok. Although I can launch it from inside the Programs screen. This is the kodi.log (not in debug mode):

21:40:55 T:140296666978048 NOTICE: Thread LanguageInvoker start, auto delete: false
21:40:55 T:140296666978048 NOTICE: -->Python Interpreter Initialized<--
21:40:55 T:140296666978048 NOTICE: RCB started
21:40:55 T:140296666978048 NOTICE: RCB: sys.argv = ['default.py']
21:40:55 T:140296666978048 NOTICE: RCB: param = default.py
21:40:55 T:140296666978048 NOTICE: RCB: launchRCB = False

(I think it should be true were instead false in last line)

I'm running Kodibuntu 14.04 (but getting same problem in other machine with Ubuntu 14.04 and Kodi 14)

Is this a bug of the addon within kodi 14?

Regards.

Yes, I am having this issue as well. I have to go into apps then click on the RCB icon to launch it. Creating a shortcut and then clicking on it does nothing.

Has anyone found a solution? I'm having a similar problem using the Transparency skin as RCB as a favorite.

There's default.py file in the addon folder: addons/script.games.rom.collection.browser/default.py

Change one line of the code to look like this:

if param == '' or param == 'default.py' or param == 'script.games.rom.collection.browser':

Hope this helps

I cannot find the default.py file.

What os are you using?

I added the code but get script failure. Even replaced the param line that is there by default, same problem.

If you are on windows this is your path. remeber to show hidden files.

I too am experiencing the same issue. Great addon by the way. I always get emulators set up on every device/machine I own, then don't use them much, because they require so much effort to switch between roms/cores/controllers .

This one button solution is very very pretty.

Any hoo.....

I have found my default.py!

But I lack the experience to decipher exactly where to put the code, or what code to replace. It is all greek to me.

Any detailed advice for this fix would be most welcome.

Thank you to all the tech geniuses who's shoulders I stand upon daily.

Worked perfectly on Win 7!
Thanks!

I get script failure when I edit the code. I'm sure I did it right. Why does RCB have so many issues with Kodi?

There are new test versions out that fix this issue. See here.
