RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Haohmaru - 2013-08-18 Sorry I thought earlier that you have meant the launcher when you wrote standalone. I'm using an Ubuntu 12.10 minimal installation. That makes sense now why the script won't work. What do I have to do to make it work without slowing the system with a desktop and other things I don't necessarily need? Also can this be the cause of the no sound problem too ?

I'm using an Ubuntu 12.10 minimal installation.But it is precisely because your are using XBMC into standalone mode and not using a desktop/windows manager that you have all these problems. First, you need to change the way XBMC is started on your systeme. XBMC must be started somewhere on your system (into .xinitrc or .xsession file) like this : Code: ... Just replace this line by Code: ... Then you will have to fix the way that your are not using a desktop/windows manager. Here are some ways to do it : http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=85724&pid=1429403#pid1429403 RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - lordzerg - 2013-08-18 killall - 9 = is wrong too must be ="killall -9" no space between - and a 9 RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Gingerbread Man - 2013-08-25 Hi there. I've successfully set it up to launch Internet Explorer and also Google's Chrome. Once in any of the browsers, I have to switch to my keyboard or a tablet/ phone app, but can I map a button to the Harmony One remote I'm using to exit the browser and to return to XBMC?

I've successfully set it up to launch Internet Explorer and also Google's Chrome.Yes I think you can. Under my linux HTPC system I have write a small .sh script that close every potential application that could be started from Advanced Launcher. Then I have mapped one of my MCE button to a condination key and that combination key call the .sh script. It must be possible to do the same under windows using a .bat script that would be called from one of the button of your Harmony One remote. RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Gingerbread Man - 2013-08-25 Hi, thanks for replying. So it's possible, just needs some simple know how? Where is a good place to find this knowledge?

Similar to what Angelscry does, I use event ghost (windows) to launch a batch file on a remote key press that kills all emulators that I can launch. You could do something similar but kill your browsers instead. RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - sagaopc - 2013-08-26 Angels, u can help me? i need create a autoit exe to 2 itens: an shortcut, Saint Seiya Online.lnk (because i'm using WTFast + Runasdate to launch the game) and Xpadder u can help me?

RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - SwedishGojira - 2013-08-30 (2013-08-17, 16:00)Haohmaru Wrote: I am also using XBMC 13 on Linux and I have an other Problem.Don't know if you have written wrong here or not, but the line to start Gens has way too many spaces to work properly. And as Angelcry tells you, you can not kill XBMC while it is in standalone. You can however, stop it and then start another program. And when you stop the program you continue XBMC again. This is what I do and it is working great (mostly). Here is my script: Code: #!/bin/bash Just remember to set the launcher to window XBMC on emulator start or the emulator will never get focus. It took me a while to find this out... You might also want to turn off menu sounds in XBMC as they sometimes make XBMC still hog the sound even though it is paused. New Window Chrome - jazzperm - 2013-08-30 I set Chrome in Advances Launcher on XBMC 12.2 on windows 7. When Chrome is not running and I open it with advanced launcher, it opens chrome and gets the focus. When Chrome is already running and, I open it again from advanced launcher, it opens a new window that doesn't get focus. Is it possible to switch to the opened chrome window, instead of opening a new window?

That's a chrome problem (bug?). It is possible to focus a windows using scripts... but in the case of chrome, when 2 chrome windows are open, it is not possible to get the focus on one specifically. You can trick this by writing a dedicated chrome's script that will close any chrome process before launch chrome on a specific page. Something like this , using windows pskill application : chrome-launcher.bat Code: pskill -t chrome.exe RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - fruitgull - 2013-09-02 I have the famous no sound in advanced launcher lanched applications I've read quite a lot and tried many different solutions though. One of them was the solution by Angelscry in post #4705 in this thread: Adding ~/.asoundrc: pcm.!default { type hw card 0 device 3 } ctl.!default { type hw card 0 device 3 } Card 0, dev 3 should be right because speaker-test -D hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=3 -c 6 works fine. And I only have one card (0). Please note that speaker-test -D hw:0,3 -c 6 doesn't produce any sound. aplay -D hw:0,3 wavfile.wav doesn't work either. It's finding the device. But no sound. Also when I start Spotify the playing bar moves, but no sound is heard. If I change device in .asoundrc (to something other than 3) playback doesn't start at all and the playing bar does not move. So I'm quite certain I have the correct card/device. Sound doesn't work in Firefox or Chromium either. No spdif devices are muted in alsamixer. I've also tried to toggle the setting in advanced launcher to stop or let play the xbmc sound. I'm also of course using the correct system/sound settings i xbmc (I've tried both hdmi and analogue here), and also with or without navigation sounds. All sound works fine in xbmc otherwise. I'm using XBMCbuntu 12.2. Any advice on how to continue?

Are you starting your application under a windows/desktop manager environnement (like openbox)? If using card(0) do not work but using "NVidia" work, maybe you could try to setup your .asoundrc file like this : https://gist.github.com/jasongill/2385863 What is the result of the command aplay -l ? |
