Scrapers are not linked to launchers. You select and setup the scrapers you want before starting the "Scan for new items" option of your SNES of MAME scraper.

Right

No. Not planned. And I don't think it is a good idea. There is no reason to have 1 launcher content = 1 scrapper data.

If you think that is not a good idea maybe is because I am doing something wrong. What do you suggest to solve my situation (MAME and SNES using different emulators) which in my opinion is not that strange.

• Setup scrapers settings for your MAME launcher
  
• Then Scan for new items for your MAME launcher
  
• Setup scrapers settings for your SNES launcher
  
• Then Scan for new items for your SNES launcher

That is not working corretly exactly? Are you sure the problem is Advanced Launcher and not XBMC 13.2 or Windows 10 themselve?

I went over your code and watched the debug log and found out that it was screensaver related. It seems that XBMC ignores your first command after returning, it uses it to clear its screensaver state instead of actually taking the FullScreen command.

You can test it by setting the screensaver timeout in xbmc to 1 minute, wait until it's idle, and issue a JSON command to toggle fullscreen. The command will not execute while XBMC is in idle mode - you will have to execute it twice, once to clear the idle mode and once to actually toggle fullscreen.

I was able to fix this in my launch script by detecting if xbmc is idle and issuing an input, this serves to bring it out of idle mode before Advanced Launcher issues the toggle fullscreen command.

I just figured i would share my launch script in here - might help someone else who's seeing the same issue.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
#
# Script to launch emulators.
# For use with Advanced Launcher in XBMC
#
# v1.0 - Firas AlShafei - 02/05/2013
# - Initial Version
#


exec 3>&1 4>&2
trap 'exec 2>&4 1>&3' 0 1 2 3
exec 1>$(dirname $0)/mednafen_genesis.log 2>&1

# turn off dpms
xset -dpms

# turn off screensaver/screenblank
xset s off


# Pause XBMC
kill -STOP `ps aux | grep xbmc.bin | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`

# Restart XBOX360 Controller Driver
# service xboxdrv-rc restart

# Launch zsnes with provided rom
/home/xbmc/Games/Sega\ Genesis/Emulator/mednafen -fs 1 "$1"

# Restart XBOX360 Controller Driver
#service xboxdrv-rc restart

# Resume XBMC Process
kill -CONT `ps aux | grep xbmc.bin | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`

# Check id XBMC is in idle mode
isIdle=`curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -i -u xbmc:xbmc -X POST -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "XBMC.GetInfoBooleans", "params": { "booleans": ["System.ScreenSaverActive "] }, "id": 1}' http://xbmc:8080/jsonrpc | grep result | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's/"\|:\|}//g'`
echo XBMC Returned System.ScreenSaverActive: $isIdle

# If XBMC is idle send a keypress to wake it so Advanced Launcher can issue the maximize command
if $isIdle ; then
   echo Detected ScreenSaver - Send input command to clear it
   curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -i -u xbmc:xbmc -X POST -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Input.Up"}' http://localhost:8080/jsonrpc
fi

# turn on dpms
xset +dpms

# turn on screensaver/screenblank
xset s on

Usage Requirements:
- Enable JSON-RPC
- Replace the username/password (xbmc:xbmc) in the script curl commands with your own, or remove them completely (remember to remove the -u parameter too)

Hope this helps someone else

As you do not explain how you obtain this error, I will suppose that it is the Advanced launcher's xml file corruption. To restore this file, go into Advanced Launcher settings > Advanced > Backup Options > Import XML file (restore backup) > Then select the file corresponding to you last modification. Files naming convention is : YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-MILLISEC-launchers.xml. Then your categories/launchers/items list will be automatically restored and you may not obtain anymore the error message.
