Are you sure you are using the right command line to start a specific page with Safari? BTW... does Safari supporting command line? You may also have mis-configured your launchers. Please post here the content of your launchers.xml file using pastebin service. I will take a look. If Safari is not working, there is other browsers that perfectly works with Advanced Launcher under windows : http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?ti...b_Browsers
1. If in XBMC settings i have 'Use maximized window...' unchecked then the app is being launched, but my starting browser page is not being displayed (i have Topsites as startpage, that is topsites://). It's also funny, that if i click on the empty displayed start page, it launch my sites, so clicking on the right places, it works as there is invisible links for each site.
2. If i activate 'Use maximized window...' in XBMC, then Safari is launched fine, using my default startpage, but XBMC window remains on top, and i can't use the background app.

Also, as i've reported a few posts ago, OnLive app doesn't work with this addon (actually the app is being launched, cause i can see the onlive.exe process in the task manager, but there is no interface or any window displayed).As I have wrote many time here, that's a Eden version XBMC problem (XBMC do not have maximize built-in function). You can use a pre-launcher script, similar to this one, to fix it : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=199
fidoboy Wrote:These issues makes this addon almost useless for me, on Windows platforms.Advanced Launcher start applications using command line. If your applications (Safari or Onlive) do not support command line correctly... that's not my problem. Ask Safari or Onlive developers to add (or fix) such basic application features. But that's clearly not my job.
Concerning the maximizing problem of Eden version of XBMC under Windows... XBMC do not include a built-in option to maximize the XBMC windows (but the minimize built-in option exists). So there is now way for Advanced Launcher to internally maximize XBMC. We need to use external script to do it. If you are not agree, ask XBMC developers to add an option to maximize XBMC. That's again not my job.
