I recently installed the advanced launcher on my ubuntu xbmc box. I have xbmc setup to use profiles to separate my kids shows/movies from parents. Anyway, when i tried to scan for new items with advanced launcher i was getting an "io file not found" error. After investigating the error, it looks like it is looking in the wrong folder for Thumbnails when profiles are enabled. I made the 2 changes below to fix it for me.

What I updated:

In file_item.py
THUMBS_CACHE_PATH = xbmc.translatePath( "special://thumbnails/" )

In launcher_plugin.py
BASE_CACHE_PATH = xbmc.translatePath(os.path.join( "special://thumbnails", "Pictures" ))

Thanks again for all your hard work!

Trailers integration are already supported by some skins (like Cirrus Extended). Trailers integration is skin feature. If the skin do not support them, you will not see them.

Maybe the skin you are using does not support the display of item information for program add-on. Or maybe the game info is not existing on the scrapped source. Without more information on your problem, I cannot really help you.

Just make a test on my system. Using multiple profile do not generate errors. Are you sure it is not a "read/write" or right access error to the thumbnails folders? Eek

AEON MQ3 does not support the display of information for all program add-ons. Advanced Launcher is a program add-on, so AEON MQ3 does not display information (game info). That's the skin which display information, thumbs or fanart, not Advanced Launcher. If AEON MQ3 does not support this features ask AEON MQ3 skin developpers to add it.

Of course it is possible, if other skins can support it, why not AEON MQ3? I have nothing to check. Actually AEON MQ3 does not support display of program add-on information. That's why you did not see them. And you are not the first one to ask for this feature :

If you want to check if Advanced Launcher is working correctly, use Cirrus Extended v2 skin which is actually the skin supporting the best Advanced Launcher : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=101 Nod

bed chekin it out asap

hentai23 · (This post was last modified: 2011-08-31, 16:34 by hentai23.)

works but not even close to the beauty of aeon mq3 , marcos already put it on his to do list

update:

actually on a second thought cirrus 2 is horrendous looking

almost had eyecancer from the layout up to the functionality

mq3 might need a couple more fixes like incorporating advanced launcher fully but everything else is miles ahead of any skin especially performance wise

afterall there is truly no substitute for it , after having tried every skin there is including cirrus 2 now too , so there you have it ,peace

Eyecancer?

I understand, everyone has his own taste to see things,
