RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2014-02-01

I was able to get firefox loaded on my ouya, but I can't get it added to Advanced Launcer, as I can't see the containing folder. I also can't figure out how to add anything as a source to my file manager.
Willing to do this over PM, email or even TeamSpeak if not to clog the forums.
Forum Discussion : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=624
WIKI page : http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?title=Firefox#Android
To add a source to your file manager, the best way is to select the root directory of your Ouya system, so you will have acces to any files/directories on it.

Angels, hi! it's me again! long time no see!!!!
i'm trying use gamefaqs to download PS2 thumbs/fanart and the search returned: no thumb found to (ex: Fatal frame III), but if you go to the site, all covers are there!
what happened? i can found info and fanart, but no thumbs!
EDIT: fanart only find one to fatal frame I, II or III... i'll see others later to test!
EDIT 2: final fantasy X only find 2 FFXII fanarts... using gamedb... using gamefaqs no find any fanarts...
RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - eman7 - 2014-02-06
I'm using advanced launcher to launch windows media center (http://www.avsforum.com/t/1492094/ultimate-wmc-integration-with-xbmc) and it works for the most part except when I hit backspace I see black screen and XBMC stays minimized. I'd have to double click XBMC to open it in full screen. It's in full screen mode. Not sure if there's something I missed when setting up advanced launcher with WMC. Also, I don't use explorer.exe (desktop), when booting the machine it goes directly to XBMC and I don't see desktop at all (windows 8).
Thanks.

Consider also GamesHQ. I had a similar issue crop up the last time I ran a scan (trying to download a thumbnail). It may be unrelated, but perhaps should be checked into.
RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - eman7 - 2014-02-06
Thanks Angelscry. I tried that and either way (it's set to off by default) would keep XBMC minimized and stays that way when I exit WMC. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - chenjhcg - 2014-02-07
Hey eman7, I'm experiencing the exact issue too and i know a workaround to share. Try changing video output to Fullscreen Window instead of True Fullscreen. That change did it for me.
Version 2.2.6 - Angelscry - 2014-02-08
Version 2.2.6 : This new version of Advanced Launcher fix a small but related to the platform ID of GameFAQs scraper.
Changelog :
- Fix platform ID change for GameFAQs scrapers.

If you mean GameDB, I need a specific example (game and platform name searched), so I will be able to reproduce de problem on my system an quickly fix it.

Using XBMC into "True Fullscreen" can generate video ressources problem (freeze, black screen, etc...) with some applications, That's why it is always recommended to use the XBMC "Fullscreen Window" instead.

Hello!
Is there an easy way to install this addon in XBMC 13 (Gotham) ?
Many thanks in advanced for any help!

Trying to use Advanced Launcher 2.2.5 with XBMC 12.3 and I get a script error "Script failed! : addon.py". Beginning of this thread says to post here when that happens, so I'm giving it a shot. Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/n8rnms7P

- Close XBMC.
- Download the zip archive of Advanced Launcher (link on the first post of this thread).
- Extract the zip archive into xbmc/addons directory (overwrite the existing plugin.program.advanced.launcher directory).
- Then Restart XBMC.

Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/n8rnms7PProblem is due that since version 2.2.0 the structure the the launchers.xml files have changed. You need to roolback to version 2.1.0. Edit something into your launcher, and then reinstall the last version of Advanced Launcher (actually 2.2.6).

This is actually the first thing I tried. However, after rolling back to 2.1.0 as per the instructions, I still get "Script failed!...." when I try to start Advanced Launcher in step #2.

- Add the item as favourite into XBMC (item context menu, "C" key > Add to favourite)
- Use the included search engine.
- Only list into Advanced Launcher items you will really use.
I also have MAME installed on my system. It only list items I want to play. It I want to add an item, I just copy/paste the rom into the dedicated folder and perform a new scan. I don't understand people having 7000 games, who want them all listed but only use 10-20. Do you also have Movies or Series TV or Music that you will never play or listen?
(2014-02-08, 22:12)EricxDu Wrote: Thank you for the immediate help.Ok... that does not sound good. Your launchers.xml file may be corrupted. Go into Advanced Launcher settings and try to restore a backup with a date/time before the problem occurs.
