Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately that didn't help anything. When I start the launcher favorite from the main menu, it takes me to what looks like a movie with no metadata, then it starts my autohotkey EXE (it launches netflix). Then, when I exit netflix (Alt+F4), it take me back to the page with no metadata, and I have press the back button to get back to the main menu. Before the updates it wouldn't do this. When I would select the favorite from the main menu, a little bar would show up at the top that said Advanced Launcher stream opening. Netflix would open. When I would close Netflix, it would go straight back to the main menu. I'm not sure what changed. I've tried rolling back to 2.0, but no change. Any other ideas?
Thanks,
-Tad

Hi All,
I'm using Advanced Launcher to fire up some emulators, works great. However the Advanced Launcher setting 'Minimise XBMC' keeps changing itself. I set it to off, and it turns itself back on. I'm using XBMC on Windows.
Any ideas?

Wow, awesome. Thanks for the quick reply.
One other small thing. When scraping rom info using semi-auto the results show items from different consoles, despite this being set for the launcher. Am I missing something here? Wouldn't it be simpler to only show results that are from the console set?
hope that makes sense

Thanks. The really frustrating thing about the issue is that it happens inconsistently. For instance I tried disabling XBMC Launcher and starting XBMC directly (the Metro menu overlays the program unfortunately). When I switched back and made XBMC Launcher the default shell the resource issue seems to have gone away temporarily. So it's really hard to pin down a decent, simple workaround. I'll give your .bat idea a try.

Hi guys,
I have been searching the internet for the last several days trying to find a solution to my problem. I have a lot of regular PC games on my computer and have the shortcuts to the launchers on my desktop in a folder called Games. When I saw the screenshots of Advanced Launcher on the beginning of this thread I knew it would be really cool to configure XBMC to display thumbs, banners, developer, plot information on each PC game. So I followed the given steps in several videos to add a standalone launcher and pointed it to the shortcut files (.lnks) in my Games folder but the problem is these games are regular PC games and there is not PC game option in the platform menu so I just select PC Booter. So when it tries to run the scrapper (which is the The Game DB scrapper) it says "no thumbnails found." So when I try to select PS3 instead to try to troubleshoot, it finds pictures but instead this time it says "impossible to assign thumbnails." I'm really frustrated and even tried to this on Cirrus Extended. I really want to get my Game library like in the screenshots of this thread. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance guys.

Ohhhhh alright thanks!
Do you have a solution for the "impossible to assign thumbnails" thing? Or will this fix that?
