Are you under Windows, Linux, XBMCLive, ATV? Which version of XBMC are you using (Dharma, GIT)? Do you have a script error message? Do you have configured the scrappers to import the information during scan? By default the import option is deactivated for data, thumb and fanarts. With which roms your are not able to retrieve the information? Could yopu please post here, using pastebin service, the content of your launchers.xml file (into userdata/advanced launcher directory)? - TUnified - 2011-06-15 I'm having an issue with Advanced Launcher. I'm having it run ZSNES and it loads roms and I can play them fine, but when I exit XBMC doesn't restore the original resolution. I've tried all sorts of display options for ZSNES but no matter what when I exit to go back to XBMC it defaults back to 1024x768 but my display needs to be 1376x768. Any help or workarounds would be appreciated. Ubuntu 10.10 XBMC 10.1 Advanced Launcher 1.4.2 - spozen - 2011-06-15 TUnified Wrote:I'm having an issue with Advanced Launcher.

Because I have the same issue as you described. Are you supposed to install openbox or something? Because I'm also wondering how you are supposed to configure gamepad/joysticks. Might be hard without a window manager.... - Angelscry - 2011-06-15 TUnified Wrote:I'm having an issue with Advanced Launcher.

I should have mentioned that I am on a laptop outputting to an HDTV. This looks great, I'll play with this when I get home. Thanks! - TUnified - 2011-06-16 Yep, that fixed it! Thanks! - Angelscry - 2011-06-16 TUnified Wrote:Yep, that fixed it! Thanks!Great !!! - Buff - 2011-06-17 Hi, Apologies if it's been answered before, if this post is in the wrong thread, or even in the wrong forum, but I was just wondering how people exit an emulator and return to XBMC? I'm using the Advanced Launcher to launch Project64, it works really well, launches the roms in fullscreen and if I were to exit via the mouse, xbmc is in the correct resolution etc... But I want to be able to exit project64 with the controller - I'm using an Xbox wireless controller connected via a microsoft receiver and I've configured the controller within Project64 to play the games, but there aren't any options to configure a button to close the app. I'm presuming that something could be done with the controller or my normal remote using eventghost, hence this question may be in the wrong area, but just wondered what others were doing and if anyone had any tips? Many thanks in advance and great work on another fantastic XBMC addon. - Angelscry - 2011-06-17 Buff Wrote:Hi,To close an application using a specific key (that you can define by yourself) you can create and use a small AutoIt script as launcher. Script samples are described here : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=43. Then you just have to assign a button of your controller to this specific key. - rudeboyx - 2011-06-17 xbox360 controllers should be recognised in eventghost if you add the "joystick" plugin found in the "remote receiver" section. then just use "emulate keypresses" (alt+F4) and use the joypad button of your choice as an event to trigger it. (press the button on the controller and it will apear in the log down the left hand side, then drag it to your macro with the emulated keys). You can fine tune the process by adding things like "locate window project64" prior to the emulated keystrokes to ensure it applies the keystrokes to project 64 (incase project64 looses focus) I tend to have eventghost do everything. ie, it monitors when my emulators close and ensures XBMC is given focus again and enables the remote for XBMC also as I currently have it enable a new remote control layout when specific emulators are detected launching (so i can assign save state and load state etc to buttons on my media centre remote) I generally have alt+F4 assigned to my "back" button on my remote whenever an emulator is open so it is in keep with my XBMC controlls and allows me to seemlessly "go back" from any game and be back in advanced launcher as if i was playing the game within XBMC the whole time. RBX - gladroger - 2011-06-17 I have XBMC Live and I have installed the Advanced Launcher from the repository. When I try to run the addon, I get a black screen with a mouse x crosshair and after that it goes back to the main xbmc screen. - Angelscry - 2011-06-17 gladroger Wrote:I have XBMC Live and I have installed the Advanced Launcher from the repository.What do you mean exactly by "run the addon"? You have the XBMC reboot when you directly open Advanced Launcher or when you want to start an application from Advanced Launcher? |
