now after upgrading to Launcher4Kodi, and choosing to install the custom shutdown menu, all i get is the default Kodi shutdown menu.

i am using confluence, and i have reinstalled the launcher 2x.

edit: i replaced my DialogButtonMenu.xml with the following to get back what I was used to seeing ala the image in the first post of this thread. I also fixed the paths to the py scripts as per an earlier post from March.

IIRC, I had fixed this problem in the latest version. Don't know why it is not working for you.

OS Win 8.1, 64bit.

How can I debug this further?

Have you selected kodi to start with the launche?, if not launcher4kodi will start explorer.

Yes. I think so. At least Kodi starts when I start the launcher manually.

Can you open regedit and set the shell to kodi.exe or any other exe file like notepad instead of launcher4kodi? You can also do this in the launcher by selecting shell as 'Other'. Then reboot. It should start kodi/notepad. If kodi/notepad is not started then the shell change is not effected properly.

Notepad and Kodi is correctly opened. I used the launcher and "other" option. Reverting back to launcher4kodi, and explorer is opened again. Any suggestions?

i downloaded the version off the first post in this thread using the Dropbox link

can you clarify if the menu should look like the image in the first post? because Launcher4Kodi only modified existing Kodi shutdown menu entries

thanks

My bad. Sorry, that fix is not included in the latest version. I was working on a few other features and thought I will include the fix in a new version. But I'm very busy and lazy to continue the work. I will update the installer in a few days and let you know.


RE: XBMCLauncher / Launcher4Kodi - All in One Tool for Change Shell, Set Focus and more - baijuxavior - 2015-06-11

Launcher4Kodi updated to V1.1 with some minor fixes.

This project should probably be renamed to meet the official trademark policy?

http://kodi.wiki/view/Official:Trademark_Policy

You should not use "Kodi" or "XBMC" in the product name, see this section:

http://kodi.wiki/view/Official:Trademark_Policy#Related_Software

Related Software

XBMC Foundation products are designed to be extended, and we recognize that community members writing add-ons and supplemental software need some way to identify the XBMC Foundation product to which their add-on/software pertain. Our main concern about add-ons and related software is that consumers not be confused as to whether they are official (meaning approved by XBMC Foundation) or not. To address that concern, we request that add-ons and supplemental software names not include, in whole or in part, the words "XBMC Foundation" or "Kodi" in a way that suggests a connection between XBMC Foundation and the add-on or software (e.g., "Frobnicator for Kodi," would be acceptable, but "Kodi Frobnicator" would not).

"Launcher4Kodi" sure seems to fit the last clause there as to what's acceptable.

As per the last clause this name is acceptable. This tool was initially called KodiLauncher. 'natethomas', the Team Kodi Community Manager in a personal message asked me to change the name and it is he who suggested Launcher4Kodi. If you read the first post, you can see that I have clearly mentioned:

In order to avoid kodi copyright violations, KodiLauncher will be known as Launcher4Kodi from now on. Those who using KodiLauncher are requested to uninstall it and install the new Launcher4Kodi.

Thanks.

I've just installed Launcher4Kodi v1.1.

Now when Kodi starts, after it has done the various housekeeping bits (e.g. updating EPG, etc), it displays:

Script Failed! : Version Check

in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

I'm using Kodi v 14.2.

I doubt this has anything to do with Launcher4Kodi. I got the same error after the Version Check addon was updated this morning. If you can, re-install the previous version. There may be a .zip file in the addons/packages folder.

Yes, it does look like an unfortunate coincidence. The debug log does confirm it is a problem with the Version Check addon itself.

I'm still a bit of a Kodi newbie so I'm still learning this like this ;-).

I've started a separate thread as it looks like there is a problem with the addon.

Thanks.

You can disable the version check addon in kodi settings.
