+---- Thread: [RELEASE] Launcher - application launcher plugin for Linux, Mac, Windows, and Xbox (/showthread.php?tid=35739)
- leo2 - 2008-11-01
no, sorry. maybe I'll implement this later, I'm also using it to play media in external player (mplayer)
you'll probably want to try the latest version (rev16) it has some fixes:
1. Import roms is NOT not case sensitive
2. Fixed bug when no thumbnails found.
3. Added an option to rename launcher and rom
4. If no thumbnails found, allow to search another string

Ok What am I doing wrong,
I really want to have a play with this plugin, But I am having some teething problems.
I am running vista64 if it makes any difference, but when I go to add a plugin as a source, the plugin adds launcher fine.
When I click on the launcher Icon It says could not connect to network source.? any Ideas what Im doing wrong?
Thanks.

I've another problem, i can't launch games using this plugin (i've tried with Crysis and Assassin's Creed games). I've added both launchers, but when i try to launch the game, it has problems using DirectX or something like that; it seems that XBMC is using exclusively the graphic resources, so i think that before launching the game this plugin should minimize or release the resources and reload them when the app/game is ended...
NOTE: i've noticed that both games have a command line option, something like -mce that its used to launch the game from Vista Media Center, can i use that parameter with this plugin? what is the purppose of this command line option?
regards,

you need to create a folder called programs in your plugins directory and put launcher in there
Plugin problem - eddiegj - 2008-11-04
When I put the plugin in plugins/video it works (when added to video's)
but when i add the plugin to plugins/program, it dousn't work.
I just can't get it to work.
I'm using Atlantis Live Beta 2.
Any body else with this problem?
- eddiegj - 2008-11-04

- fidoboy - 2008-11-04

When i launche firefox it freezes and i can't do anything until i manualy killed it.
so i tried some stuff and got firefox working by making an python script to open ratpoison as wel
Quote:#!/usr/bin/python
import os
cmd = '/usr/bin/ratpoison | /usr/bin/firefox'
os.system(cmd)
this works but now i have to kill ratpoison manualy when i close firefox
dous anybody knows another way to open or kill programm?

WiSo Wrote:forget it. Now I get other results
I get an exception after -> Scriptresult: Succes
in thread.cpp line 266: m_iLastTime = GetTickCount() * 10000;
Also the call stack doesn't show any unusal.
Weird is that if I click retry it works and shows the following output:
thread start, auto delete: 0
WindowHelper thread started
Python script stopped
Does it mean the first script stops after I started a new thread?
Dunno have to sleep some nigths over it
Has there been any development on this front? I have the same issue, in that XBMC brings itself back after closing the launched application the first time, but anytime after that, XBMC remains minimized after the application is closed. I'm running build 16105. If this one little bug was corrected, it would do wonders for my HTPC setup.
BTW - Thanks for the incredible development thus far on both this plugin and XBMC in general.

Thanks for the hint their Leo, I took a look at the log file myself once I found where it had gone to.
Anyway it seems that their was not a thumbnail directory, and I guess when launcher tried to create it, it didnt have permissions. I created the folder manually and now running.
Edit, seems however its not allowed to create thumbnails in there.
btw.. Looks as though things are trying to be created here.
C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\userdata
When the rest of the user data resides here
C:\Users\Mark\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\UserData
Insidently I do actually have a thumbnail directory here. :|
Further notes. when opening firefox it opens behind xbmc and opens firefox to a folder location, not my homepage.
Thanks.
