- rudeboyx - 2011-09-13 I'll watch the you tube video when i get home from work but im just double checking my addon.xml and launcher_plugin.py now and they look fine. -addon.xml- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <addon id="plugin.program.advanced.launcher.2" name="Advanced Launcher 2" version="1.5.6" provider-name="Angelscry"> launcher_plugin.py PLUGIN_DATA_PATH = xbmc.translatePath( os.path.join( "special://profile/addon_data", "plugin.program.advanced.launcher.2") ) __settings__ = Addon( id="plugin.program.advanced.launcher.2" ) __lang__ = __settings__.getLocalizedString Can you spot anything wrong? the plugin folder is titled "plugin.program.advanced.launcher.2" Cheers RBX - Angelscry - 2011-09-13 rudeboyx Wrote:I'll watch the you tube video when i get home from work but im just double checking my addon.xml and launcher_plugin.py now and they look fine.May looks good, but I need also to see the content of your addon.xml and launcher_plugin.py files located into the plugin.program.advanced.launcher directory to confirm if it is wrong or not. Version 1.5.7 - Angelscry - 2011-09-13 Version 1.5.7 : This new version of Advanced Launcher include a mod created by atsumori that bring the multi-disc support/selection to Advanced Launcher. Multidisc files as to be named as follows: [romname][disc number extension].[file extension] Where romname, is the name of the rom, disc number extension is the number of the disc labeled like ".cd1", "-cd1", "_cd1", or "-cd1" (change "1" to the disc number) and file extension if the extension of the disk (iso, bin, img, etc...)

Those are small clipets of my xml and py files. the rest of the content is default for whats inside the files normally. I only adjusted those specific sections. If they look fine to you then it's a mystery. I've just watched the video and thats exactly what i did. i dont see where I could go wrong, it's so simple, but it still just doesnt work for me. - Angelscry - 2011-09-13 rudeboyx Wrote:Those are small clipets of my xml and py files. the rest of the content is default for whats inside the files normally.

Version of XBMC. Version of Advanced Launcher, Skin name and version. Have you thought to restart XBMC after made the modification? Could you try to redo the duplication, and send me the xbmc.log file. Maybe there is an error message inside that could help us to found what is wrong. - rudeboyx - 2011-09-14 Angelscry Wrote:Ok... so give my all the information about your system : Windows? Linux?

I will try and get all this info for you over the next few days. Thanks RBX - rudeboyx - 2011-09-14 Well this is error from my debug log Code: 18:01:37 T:6832 M:3300487168 INFO: ADDON: cpluff: 'XML parsing error in C:\Users\Scott\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\plugin.program.advanced.launcher.2\addon.xml, line 17, column 225 (not well-formed (invalid token)).' And here is the addon.xml Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> Any idea whats wrong with the addon.xml? Im using windows XBMC 10.1 Win7 x64 Advance Launcher 1.5.6 Skin = Transparency! v3.1.1.7 Thanks RBX P.S - Yes I have restarted XBMC after creating the second advanced launcher, infact XBMC wasnt even running when i created it but I have attempted several restarts of xbmc after creating the second AL. - Angelscry - 2011-09-14 rudeboyx Wrote:Any idea whats wrong with the addon.xml?It could be related to your text editor. The addon.xml file is normally saved into UTF-8 format. It is possible that your text editor have saved it into another format (AINSI) after you edited it, making it no more readable by XBMC. Just be sure after editing addon.xml you save it as UTF-8 format. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_programs/default-utf-8-encoding-for-new-notepad-documents/525f0ae7-121e-4eac-a6c2-cfe6b498712c - rudeboyx - 2011-09-15 Angelscry Wrote:It could be related to your text editor.

I'll check tonight. - Angelscry - 2011-09-15 rudeboyx Wrote:i just used wordpad and edited then closed and saved over the old one. I'll check tonight.I think using wordpad for editing xml files is the problem. Wordpad is a formated text editor, but I'm not sure it recognize well xml formated files, and may generate file format error when you save them. Notepad is a more simple text editor but save file under AINSI format by default instead or keeping it actual format. Personnaly I'm using the PsPad text editor, which recognize well files format. - rudeboyx - 2011-09-15 Angelscry Wrote:I think using wordpad for editing xml files is the problem.

Im ashamed to say i do infact have notepad++ but just havent gotten around to assigning it as my default txt editor. I'll try this all agin and let you know how it goes. greg7777777 - maybe you can confirm if this resolves the issue for you. RBX - rudeboyx - 2011-09-15 sorted. i started again and used notepad++ to edit the files. All working fine now. thanks for all the help RBX - DigiTech - 2011-09-15 Hi Angelscry, i have a pc with Rom Collection Browser with all my roms collection, i want to setup another pc with this same collection (artwork,covers,etc) but configured this time with Advanced Launcher without having to download any data again and beeing able to use all the data i already have btw im using win 7, can it be done? or am i dreaming? Thanks! - Angelscry - 2011-09-15 DigiTech Wrote:Hi Angelscry, i have a pc with Rom Collection Browser with all my roms collection, i want to setup another pc with this same collection (artwork,covers,etc) but configured this time with Advanced Launcher without having to download any data again and beeing able to use all the data i already have btw im using win 7, can it be done? or am i dreaming? Thanks!I do not know at all how RCB manage it's information data and images files. Emulators setup maybe be also different... So I think it is not really possible. I need more information on RCB to help you. - malte - 2011-09-16 Angelscry Wrote:I do not know at all how RCB manage it's information data and images files. Emulators setup maybe be also different... So I think it is not really possible. I need more information on RCB to help you.I guess images won't be a problem, once downloaded they get the same name as the corresponding rom files in RCB (with a different extension). Is this the same way ALA works? Maybe you have to rename the folders or something like this. Main problem will be the textual information (title, plot, ...). RCB stores this information in database, ALA in launchers.xml file. I always thought about implementing an ALA import/export function in RCB but atm I don't have the time to do it. |
