@chrisism  That looks really cool!!  I'm excited to see others working to integrate AEL in their skins.

Ah yes, well have to say also a shout-out to @Rufoo for inspiration with his beautiful skin work. A lot of his input I used for that particular skin too.

Hi @Wintermute0110 
I think, I found a bug.
When I want to set an artwork for a launcher, I go "Edit Launcher > Edit Asset/Artwork > Select Artwork type > Import local image (copy and rename)". So AEL save address I can view artwork in "Profile/addon_data/plugin.program.advanced.emulator.launcher/asset-launchers" and I can view artwork in this folder, but it isn't displayed in Kodi.

So I return to "Edit Asset/artwork", and this time, "select local image" in the previous folder, that give "c:/kodi/portable_data/userdata/ addon_data/plugin.program.advanced.emulator.launcher/asset-launchers". This time artwork is displayed.

Hi @Wintermute0110
Any solution to fix the bug ?

Hi @Wintermute0110
Any solution to fix the bug ?

That's a bug related to Kodi image cache, I think. I have known about this issue for a long time. One Kodi core developer suggested to update the timestamp of the image so Kodi will refresh its cache and display the image. I need to investigate this further. In any case, after some random time Kodi displays the correct image when the image cache is updated.

I think you're right. My second computer with an older AEL version work well with "import local image"

Launched process returns with error. Can you please enable AEL DEBUG (not Kodi debug) to reveal more details in the log?

Hi thanks for your help,

For the moment no xml at all. I even don’t know how to start with an external emulator exept retroarch that I use for N64.
I want to create an XML for GC et Wii with Dolphin on shield TV pro.

[myghalloween]

you wrote that Dolphin run without problem so I suppose Dolphin is installed on your Shield TV pro ?
Kodi and AEL addon too ?
I need to know the name of the dolphin APK and executable (Because I don't have Dolphin on my Android Box... 32 bit is not compatible with).
You can find this with the help of a file manager on your Shield. I don't know the tree on Shield, but I think you can find that in "android/data" and "root/data/data"

Of course Dolphin, Kodi and AEL are installed on the Shield. Can you suggest me a File Explorer App that allow me to see the tree without rooting the device? I made some research to find what you need but can’t find anything.
