No Frodo support yet. Advanced Launcher will be Frodo "ready" when the RC Frodo versions of XBMC will be available. The really million dollar question is "Advanced Launcher does not work on XBMC Frodo because : Advanced Launcher is not ready or because Frodo still unstable, bugged and into development?

Advanced Launcher is not able to save files in your selected path :

Code:

G:\\\xc3\u2030mulateurs\\Super Nintendo\\Covers\\

The problem is related to the fact that you are using the Unicode Character 'PER MILLE SIGN' (U+2030) in your path. That's not really Please use ASCII or extended ASCII characters. Which game the addon is not able to found? With which scrapper (or in which database) are your trying to found them?

Well, when you have a test build you would like to try I will be more than happy to test it out. The things I would like to launch will be Mythtv-frontend (to edit commercials from recordings) , Emulators, and Steam games.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I have investigated on your problem and it is actually a tracked Frodo bug : https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/1281

I was trying to download the back covers of the games also but it become a difficult task to do manually for some amount of games. There's some way to tweak the GameFAQ scrapper to download the backs instead the front covers ?

Thanks for any help.

I could try to modify the GAMEFAQ scraper to allow to display front and back covers into the same result list. Do you want to use this covers as thumbs or fanarts?

I do not plan to add back covers support into Advanced Launcher. Actually no skins support it, that's not really the goal of Advanced Launcher to collecting/display game stuff nd is it not really into the spirit of XBMC to dislay back covers for items. If you really need use/manage back covers under XBMC you can use RCB that support it.

BTW, if you really need to scrap back covers with Advanced launcher you can manually modify the Gamefaq scraper python file : /xbmc/addons/plugin.program.advanced.launcher/resources/scrapers/thumbs/GameFAQs/thumbs_scraper.py and replace :

Code:

# Get Thumbnail scrapper
def _get_thumbnail(image_url):
    images = []
    try:
        search_page = urllib.urlopen('http://www.gamefaqs.com' + image_url)
        for line in search_page.readlines():
            if 'Game Box Shot' in line:
                images = re.findall('g"><a href="(.*?)"><img class="full_boxshot" src="(.*?)"', line)
                print images[0][0]
                return images[0][0]
    except:
        return ""

by :

Code:

# Get Thumbnail scrapper
def _get_thumbnail(image_url):
    images = []
    try:
        search_page = urllib.urlopen('http://www.gamefaqs.com' + image_url)
        for line in search_page.readlines():
            if 'Game Box Shot' in line:
                images = re.findall('t" /><a href="(.*?)"><img class="full_boxshot" src="(.*?)"', line)
                print images[0][0]
                return images[0][0]
    except:
        return ""

Then into the thumb selection you will still see front covers, but it will be the back cover image that will be downloaded (there is now back cover thumb preview into GameFAQ website).

It will be completly different, because functions called to scrap thumbs and fanarts do no have the same name.
