RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - harSon - 2012-12-17 Need help again! I am trying to add XPadder support to the PC games I am launching through Advanced Launcher. You posted such a script using AutoIt a while back: Code: if $CmdLine[0] = 1 Then But I am currently using a batch code to suspend XBMC and launch the game in fullscreen: Code: nircmd win min process XBMC.exe Is there a way I can edit the AutoIt script you've supplied so it also suspends XBMC/launches the game like the batch I've supplied? Path to my Xpadder is C:\Program Files (x86)\XPadder\xpadder.exe RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2012-12-17 (2012-12-17, 01:27)patrikhuset Wrote: That is strange, I have it set to get updates automatically on reboot (which i've done a few times today).The launchers.xml file seems ok.

Even me, who am accustomed to use XBMC night builds and Advanced Launcher, I'm always using stable versions of XBMC on my HTPC system to avoid any problem like yours. I am using Eden I believe. And another question. I'm currently using XBMC Launcher to boot into the XBMC Launcher shell (meaning that explorer.exe is never executed). Unfortunately, some files I'm using like xpadder, steam, jdownloader, etc do not boot up unless explorer.exe is executed. So I tried to edit a batch to make it so explorer.exe opened alongside the programs in question: Code: nircmd win min process XBMC.exe Unfortunately, in Windows 7, it seems that an explorer window is opened instead of the desktop, taskbar, etc. This seems to be a common issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10954041/restarting-explorer-exe-only-opens-an-explorer-window I tried using the complete pathway ("c:\windows\explorer.exe") instead of just "explorer.exe": Code: nircmd win min process XBMC.exe And while this definitely minimizes and suspends XBMC like I want it to, and explorer.exe starts properly, the game I launched does not actually start up. Unless I reclose explorer.exe, then it will start. I was wondering if you knew how I could make my batch so XBMC is minimized/suspended, explorer.exe starts (so the programs I need to start can be started), the game launches and then at the very least, upon exiting the game - explorer.exe is closed again and XBMC is resumed and maximized. I don't know if it's possible, but I'd rather the explorer.exe close shortly after it's executed (and the game is still open), like a delay in between it's startup and closing. I'm assuming I'd use the timeout command, or something like "ping -n 30 127.0.0.1 > nul" to create the necessary delay? I know this isn't entirely relating to Advanced Launcher, but i'd appreciate the help. Thank you so much!

If not, it could be effectively be related to a problem of delay between each command linked to a problem of previous application activity/focus/state when you start the next one. I do not know why the game do not start. Does Xpadder start correctly after starting Explorer?

I do not know why the game do not start. Does Xpadder start correctly after starting Explorer? It starts, but not because of the batch script. I only starts because I have it set to start upon Windows starting, but when I take that away in the program's settings, it fails to boot up when I launch the batch file.

This is an AutoHotkey script that will do what you're looking to do, but seriously, look into Rom-Jacket. It's built to do this kind of stuff. Code: #NoEnv RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - harSon - 2012-12-18 I looked into Rom-Jacket, and tried to get it to work with Project 64, but either it didn't work or I was doing something wrong. Would you be willing to help me on that front? And thanks for the script! I'll give it a go when I make it home from work.

For issues with the script above, post in this thread. Launch individual Onlive games - m7cky - 2012-12-18 It's possible to launch games from the OnLive game service using Advanced Launcher, been trying to figure it out for ages so thought I'd share. Launch links using explorer (as you would steam games). ie: for Darksiders 2, use "olgames:///?service_path=/directory/product/NA-TQ-DARKSD2-19281" (no quotes). To get the game ID's (Darksiders 2 = NA-TQ-DARKSD2-19281) go to the OnLive website (not launcher), right click on the game you want to launch, inspect the filename of the cover image & the ID will be in there. As long as you've selected to remember your username & password it will log you in automatically (with a small dialogue box) & your game will launch without going through the OnLive UI. Hope this is of use to someone!

Because you not have error message the problem is not related to advanced launcher. The problem may be related to the fact that you have not correctly setup your launchers to start your applications. To check this I nedd the content of the launchers.xml file. Also 12.0-BETA3 Git:Unknown is clearly not the last version.(2012-12-16, 22:35)Angelscry Wrote:(2012-12-16, 22:19)patrikhuset Wrote: It says for example "Launching Battle Toads", but it never happens.According to your log file the launchers.xml file must be located into : /home/pi/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/plugin.program.advanced.launcher/ (2012-12-18, 23:44)m7cky Wrote: It's possible to launch games from the OnLive game service using Advanced Launcher, been trying to figure it out for ages so thought I'd share.Go to know.

So the problem may be related to the fact that explorer is not correctly started at the moment you want to start for a second time Xpadder. To be sure, for testing, try to add ping commands (around 10s will be enough) between each command. If it works, so will be sure that it is be related to a delay problem. BTW, starting a moment, when you want to create really specific scripts, using autoit become more simple (it offer function to control/wait/star/kill/close windows and process). RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Mohrdain - 2012-12-20 Error: file explorer is running with administrator privileges. Restart File explorer normally and try again. Action: Running a Netflix Advanced Launcher utilizing the launcher script from "itsjustwhatever" and a url. System: XBMC Eden & Windows 8 Pro. Add-ons of note; XBMC Launcher (auto starts XBMC on boot). So, I have had this issue popping up when they system starts and I aim to go directly into Netflix. The launcher runs the script, XBMC is closed, and the "Opening Stream" dialog box pops up and then that fun error message will pop-up. I searched the forums, but did not see a post in the recent past that spoke to this issue. My apologies if I overlooked it. Thanks |
