xbmc17 Wrote:Hmm, I've went through the documentation trying to find what 'selected, configured and activated' is and can't find that? Under "Data & Infos" I do have my Scraper Source=AllGame, Import during Scan=Automatic. I have the Thumbs and Fanarts tabs configured similarly. Then I scan and nothing.If you already scan all your roms without importing thumbs and fanarts, trying a new scan with thumbs and fanarts scrappers activated will not import anything more. You need to "Edit Launcher", "Clear Items List" an start another scan with all the scrapers activated (automatic or semi-automatic).

Now question : If you manually Edit an item (rom) and manually change the thumb of the fanart image, does it work?
xbmc17 Wrote:Yes, it works if I do it manually. Thanks for the advice, I'll clear it and try again
coastal Wrote:I'm getting that "Attempt to open file failed." error message with Project64 - for both 1.6 and 1.7 on windows 7. I found I could start the roms from command line by adding the complete path to the rom parameter.Directly from The User Guide : To fill Advanced Launcher arguments you have the possibility to use 5 advanced launcher dedicated tags :
So C:\retro\project64\project64.exe MarioKart64.n64 fails with error message,
C:\retro\project64\project64.exe "C:\retro\n64_roms\MarioKart64.n64" works fine.
Now how can I add the path to the rom parameter in Advanced Launcher?
Fitho Wrote:The new feature in 1.5.0 "add loading message feedback after starting an item" seems to produce a beep when it displays and when it closes. I browsed around some code and it seems that happens because "XBMC.Notification" is used in this addon. It uses the activate and deactivate sounds (infodialog) from the sounds.xml in the skins folder. The second beep sounds when I am already in the game or application. Well, 3sec I guess, cause that's the time u set for the notifications.I know you responded to this already, Angelscry, I just wanted to add a +1 to it as certain skins can make notifications overly apparent. An option to turn this on and off would be appreciated. As it stands, I've already created the option on my end, but of course it would just get overwritten the next update.
Would it be possible to use the "working ... " message instead (confluence skin)? Displays in the bottom right corner when it starts working, when you start a movie for example. I don't know if that's confluence specific or xbmc (not skin specific). But I like it not to make sounds.
If this is not possible, maybe a switch in the addon settings for not displaying the notification? I would be happy to work on this if u want me to.
Not sure where to start looking for the "working ... " message in either xbmc or confluence source. Maybe somebody has a clue. At least it's not in the xbmc built in functions https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...iltins.cpp .
Let me know which direction u want to take this, if any.
PS: Starting to populate the launcher with linux games, loving it more every day.

Angelscry Wrote:You ask me to activate/desactivate all the notifications or only the notification when starting an application?Well, specifically that one. ... but now that you mention it, the single second wait notification when you have a megaupload premium account could probably go away, too.
SlyMaelstrom Wrote:Well, specifically that one. ... but now that you mention it, the single second wait notification when you have a megaupload premium account could probably go away, too.What is the relation between "Advanced Launcher" and a "megaupload premium account" ?
SlyMaelstrom Wrote:That said, some notifications are necessary, so I wouldn't ask to set an option to disable all notifications, but the one when an application launchers should certainly be optional. The issue is that, in most cases, the application launcher before the notification even appears, so I all get is a notification sound for a notification I can't even see.I will disable this last notification by default and add an option to activate it. Will be (or included) into the next version.
