What control type are you using? Keybord, game pad? Give us all info necessary info, mainboard keyboard joy pad connection info. Somewhere must be problem.

I'm using asrock 330ht + logitech cordless rumblepad2 joy pad and its working almost out of box. I just delete keymap file from /usr/share/xbmc directory because if i use joy pad in emulator it work same time in xbmc also when i play games, in xbmc same time play music or videos or something strange is going on.

Not sure that I really understand your problem, but why do you use fluxbox to launch other apps?Oo

Please, copy here the content of your launchers.xml file. I think it miss something in your command line.

Thumbs Up 
Just want to say it's all good, glad I could help and keep up the good work. I also doubted it was launcher causing the problem.

Take it easy

Thanks for the brilliant add-on, but I'm having a few teething troubles with it... When I add a game for example Outrun 2006 (PC), It adds the games perfectly fine but when I click to get the info I receive a plug-in error message, It's driving me crazy and i can't get my head around it any ideas on how to fix this would be great

Thanks

It happens when you create a launcher for a PC game and then select the "Get Information" option to scrape info

No, it is not exactly the same thing. For Youtube movie addon, the selection of the destination download folder is into the plugin settings. In our case the selection of the folder is coded into the plugin itself and use the browse function :
Code:
xbmcgui.Dialog().browse(1,__language__( 30023 ),"files",filter)
As you see the code line is very simple. I have try to change the starting default directory. It works, but then you will be limited to the c:\ drive (not possibility to access external or network drives).

Start an Application in Administrator Mode
- on Windows 7 or Vista
- on Windows XP

That is what I have done and it fix the problem for me under Windows 7. Then, I have unchecked the 'Run this program as an administrator' box and I still able to access local directories. Not able to go back to the error, so the bug seems definitively fixed for me. That is clearly a kind of XBMC privilege bug. When the user is not the administrator it was not able to access the local directory directly from a plugin.

The other trick you can try is to edit the launcher_plugin.py file and replace the two lines :
Code:
app = xbmcgui.Dialog().browse(1,__language__( 30023 ),"files",filter)
and replace them by those one
Code:
app = xbmcgui.Dialog().browse(1,__language__( 30023 ),"files",filter, False, False, BASE_PATH)
It will maybe solve your problem but not corrects the XBMC bug.

Running the program as an administrator didn't help me.
How do I edit the launcher_plugin.py file?

If you have to ask. Then your out of your depth.
