RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - Aatos - 2017-02-18
Dear Wintermute, first I wanted to express my gratitude over your work on AEL - you along with skinners like Rufoo make Kodi really hands down best media center on the market - thank you!
I have a slightly novel way of using AEL and Kodi. Instead of strictly a rom-launching platform my aim is to have it function as a Netflix-type frontend for my physical game collection (well, outside PC games) - a catalog designed to indice one to find and appreciate my whole collection now unfortunately pretty much tucked in various storage solutions around the apartment. To this end, instead of launching roms, most of these games will launch a picture to a image viewing app that will instruct to go pick the game up from each location and insert it into the console.
AEL and Kodi in general have seemed to work just fine for this purpose as I've been now building the library assets by scraping and downloading artwork from different sources before putting it all together for the first time. However, while trying to add my GBA library in AEL, I ran into an issue I can't solve and now AEL seems to be unable to add anything anymore, citing to go to the error log.
Wintermute, would you be so kind as to take a look at this log and tell me what I could do to remedy the issue? Re-installing AEL (including the instance-spesific launcher-files in portable folder) didn't seem to help at this stage.

(2017-02-18, 11:56)Aatos Wrote: Dear Wintermute, first I wanted to express my gratitude over your work on AEL - you along with skinners like Rufoo make Kodi really hands down best media center on the market - thank you!
I have a slightly novel way of using AEL and Kodi. Instead of strictly a rom-launching platform my aim is to have it function as a Netflix-type frontend for my physical game collection (well, outside PC games) - a catalog designed to indice one to find and appreciate my whole collection now unfortunately pretty much tucked in various storage solutions around the apartment. To this end, instead of launching roms, most of these games will launch a picture to a image viewing app that will instruct to go pick the game up from each location and insert it into the console.
AEL and Kodi in general have seemed to work just fine for this purpose as I've been now building the library assets by scraping and downloading artwork from different sources before putting it all together for the first time. However, while trying to add my GBA library in AEL, I ran into an issue I can't solve and now AEL seems to be unable to add anything anymore, citing to go to the error log.
Wintermute, would you be so kind as to take a look at this log and tell me what I could do to remedy the issue? Re-installing AEL (including the instance-spesific launcher-files in portable folder) didn't seem to help at this stage.
Hi. The error is because non ASCII characters in the ROM name. In your case the "ROMs" are PNG file. What is causing the problem is having a file like this:
Code:
Pokémon LeafGreen.pngApparently URLlib cannot encode an URL having nonASCII characters. I will have a look at the problem. As a workaround, rename you PNG images so they don't have Unicode characters or use the offline scraper.

Hey,
I haven't posted for a while as I've got a PSVR so been on that all the time. Managed to try the latest AEL yesterday on Krypton and just wanted to say it's still great. Loving the progress. Thanks
RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - trihy - 2017-02-20
Well, still trying to use this launcher.
Some things I found.
ie. setting 32x with fusion.
Rom collection browser, launch parameters %rom%. Works fine.
AEL, launch parameters %rom%, Emulator launch with a white screen, doesnt work.
What Im doing wrong? I thought RCB was difficult to config, but Im getting a lot more problems trying to config AEL
Another thing, after scanning 32x roms, there are like 10 entries to the list, with empty title, just no title at all (this could be solved selecting "using rom name instead of the scrapped one" Can we have an option to make AEL show rom name when doesnt find the rom name in the scrapper? If we dont have that, there is no way to avoid empty titles using the scrapper rom names.
And lastly, most 32x games end with no rom description after scrapping. Using the same scrapper on RCB I get most games showing description. Maybe it s because RCB offers a different match % factor when scrapping (not sure if this can be selected on ael)
Using always latest github.
Thanks for all your work.

I'm not sure why; but, AEL requires the format "%rom%" (note the quotes "). I added these and things work well here.

Some other guy had problems setting up Fusion. Search this thread to see what happened, I don't remember now. Also, the correct argument should be:
Code:
"$rom$"(2017-02-20, 19:32)trihy Wrote: Another thing, after scanning 32x roms, there are like 10 entries to the list, with empty title, just no title at all (this could be solved selecting "using rom name instead of the scrapped one" Can we have an option to make AEL show rom name when doesnt find the rom name in the scrapper?

Thanks for all your work.
That looks like a bug. If no scrapped name is found (either offline or online) the filename must be shown. Please follow the instructions in the first post to produce a AEL DEBUG LOG (and not Kodi debug log). When you are in debug mode, delete all roms from the 32x launcher and rescan again with your current settings.

AEL, launch parameters %rom%, Emulator launch with a white screen, doesnt work.
I'm not sure why; but, AEL requires the format "%rom%" (note the quotes "). I added these and things work well here.
Just for clarification: the quotes are needed only if you ROM filenames (including the directory where ROMs are stored) contain spaces. On the other hand, 99% of the ROM file names have spaces. A notable exception is MAME and MAME Software Lists, where no ROMs at all have spaces. It does no hurt to put the quotes always. Lastly, %rom% is deprecated, I recommend to use the newer (and more beautiful) "$rom$".

Thanks for all the quick answers.
It s really a pain to make logs since Im using a htpc and have no keyboard, but will try.
About %rom%, Im using default one, not sure if it´s with the "" or not, will check soon. but atm is scanning some lnk shorcuts games. BTW scanning is sooooo slow, dont know why, scanning 60 lnk games takes almost an hour
Maybe a good thing to add, will be selectable basic parameters, like rom, rombasename, romfile or whatever ael recognizes
.
Wonder if I can share the RCB artwork folder and ael folder, this will save a coupe of GB.

If you like emulation a keyboard is a must, particularly during the setup process. Not just for configuring AEL: usually the most difficult part is to configure the emulators themselves. Also, many emulated systems require a keyboard.
As a workaround, can you connect to your system with SSH?

Compared with RCB and old good AL, AEL should be much faster in almost everything. If you use the offline scraper (or no scraper at all) scanning 60 ROMs should take seconds. I think what takes time is that you are running the scanner with an online scraper, right? AEL scrapers are optimised to always cache all possible scraped information and to minimise the network traffic, but if you connection is slow or the scraper site is slow that cannot be helped at all.

The Kodi Python API is very limited compared to other GUIs like KDE or Windows. There are many things you see in other software that just cannot be done in Kodi.

Yes, absolutely you can. Just keep in mind that if you use AEL scrapers to modify it then those changes will affect both to AEL and RCB because you are overwriting the files of the images, and the opposite is also true.
RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - trihy - 2017-02-20
Thanks again. Yes, using online scraper, connection is not that bad, but could be, dont know, it s scanning 5 games every 10 minutes.
Didnt knew about kodi python api limitation. Then I guess will be enough to update first post with rom variants, I really cant remember what other ael supports, remember one line rombanoext, or rombasename, not sure. AND MAYBE THERE ARE OTHER ones.
Sorry about the caps, using a htpc like mini keyboard that s*cks in every possible way.
Will try to have at least one working launcher, so I can start migration from rbc. I d left ael for impossible some time ago, today wanted to give anther try and first emu launcher, 32x, didnt work
Wont take this as a rule, will try other emulators in a moment.

I believe thegamesdb is the default option for the online scraper. It's abysmally slow for everyone; even if your connection is great, it's taking a long time to respond.
I ended up spending a lot of time over at emumovies grabbing artwork and I'm using the offline scrapers in AEL. The only issue I'm having is that some of the emumovies art sets aren't getting mapped very well in AEL (Genesis, N64, and PlayStation had issues for me).
RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - trihy - 2017-02-20
Yes, using thegamedb, maybe it s that the cause.
Well, tried "$rom$" and $rom$ for 32x, neither worked. What a mistery this launcher is for me, I cant make anything work
Will keep trying.
Wll try the problematic m2emulator but cant remember the param to not load the rom extension.
Edit. In the meantime added lnk windows games, when launching any of them I get Ael error check log. Way to go for me.

RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - nalthien - 2017-02-20
I haven't tested 32X yet; but, I've got N64, NES, SNES, Genesis, and PlayStation games all loading through AEL with RetroArch as my emulator platform. I haven't tried it on Windows; but, I'm running MacOS and I used the command line to double-check the command strings to ensure that they worked.
RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - trihy - 2017-02-20
Great to know. I dont use retroarch, just standalone emulators, dont know if thats the cause.
RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - nalthien - 2017-02-20
I doubt RetroArch is a difference maker. I'm actually planning on adding Dolphin which isn't supported by RetroArch so I'm sure I'll find out then.
At the risk of being crazy: make sure you're running Krypton.
