When Advanced Launcher has a proper Gotham release, I'll be able to support in properly in script.skinshortcuts.

In the meantime, try changing the favourites.xml to RunScript rather than RunPlugin - XBMC is quite specific about what it will return via JSON for favourites, and it *may* not return items with RunPlugin, whereas I know it returns items with RunScript. Your change to the code will mean you won't be able to play any favourite'd media from a submenu. As an alternative, leave the line as it was, but place the following (completely untested) above it:

Code:

elif item['type'] == "media" and item['path'].contains("plugin.program.advanced.launcher"):
    action = 'RunPlugin("' + item['path'] + '")'

Thank you for the help (both times) I'm an XBMC n00b. so I'm still learning my way around.
I actually checked out the GIT for the shortcut plugin and grabbed the latest release. It looks like they rewrote that whole section.
and it works correctly now with no changes on my part.
Thanks again for your time!

Oh i just read YOU - support the skin shortcuts script. so i guess you know you re-wrote it
in any event 2.3 seems to be working correctly now for me
