You can :

• Duplicate Advanced Launcher to create one instance only for games and one instance only for your other applications : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gMFJcxdcEg
  
• Create a files launcher that will manage/point all your games shortcuts (.lnk files : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyfRa7gygEc). Then add this launcher as an XBMC favourite and finally create a menu entry in your skin for this favourite.
  

Good evening and thank you for the instructions and video tutorials

Once duplicated, the launcher is in fact linked to the executable that everyone is assigned to them.
But a strange thing happens, always under AEON MQ4 when I go to setting "Personalisation" to assign a name to add to the launcher in the main menu, so that when I select my open its list of executables. The list of the first Launcher turns out to be equal to that of the second Launcher and I could not understand why.
To resolve this problem I had to assign the sequence number of the first launcher, so "Launcher 1" and "Launcher 2" so ​​it's ok.

Is it possible to use a video preview from emu movies with advanced launcher?

That mostly a skin feature. For each launcher or items Advanced launcher had the possibility to define a custom path, that could for example containing extra-fanart images or video trailers. Actually, for what I know, only the Cirrus Extended v2 skin use this custom path field : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=101

To use extra media with Cirrus Extended (like extra thumbs, extra video and video trailers), you need first to create a folder when you will put all the corresponding extra media files (for example named extramedia). Into this folder, you will need to create one sub-folder for each items with the same displayed name (for example named game1). Then into this folder you will create 2 additional sub-folders named extrathumb and extrafanart. The first directory will contain the extra thumbs image files, and the second one will contain the extra thumbs image files. This image files not need to have a specific name. Finally, the trailer video will be named trailer.mp4 and must be placed into the dedicated extra media folder of the game (game1 in this example).

So I think there is no problem to use video preview from emu movies with Advanced Launcher.

I have thousands of roms, do I have to do this for each game individually? Is there an easier way?

Hi; wondering if anyone can help me...

After I updated from frodo to eden, selecting any of my launchers appears to do nothing, and I'm left at the launcher screen eg.



Each of the launchers has a bunch of items in them. I'm hoping there's a way to retreive them without having to readd/scan/scrape/individually fix them all.

Thanks!@

The only way you can do this is to modify your script to close XBMC instead of suspending it and then restart XBMC when you quit KegaFusion. For the fact that KegaFusion cannot be started when XBMC is into "true fullscreen" mode and for the fact that you have jutter with movies when XBMC is into "fullscreen window", that's an XBMC related problem, and I think you will have to ask XBMC devellopers to fix this problems.

Thanks for the reply. I thought there would be a command line which toggle the true fullscreen back and forth. Thanks anyway

Hey guys, I am getting the entry below in my log when I try to launch any of the four emulators that I have. After selecting a rom to launch, it never launches and returns to the menu. I have the same result for each emulator (zsnes, mednafen, dolphin, mupen64plus). Any ideas from the log below what is going on?

I want to set it up so I click comics from the home menu then it launches, the adv launcher...and inside it shows the comics I can choose from by type...So like Batman, superman, spiderman Then when I click them it goes into that series of comics, so if I clicked batman, the batman issues would appear...how do I do this?

I know how to do the home menu bit...but I only know how to show one comic with the adv launcher....any ideas?

[Angelscry]

How do I remove the cmd window ? Thanks in advance.
Best regards

Which cmd window?

Black cmd window,then I start the application lnk ,appears small black window.

Normally if the "Show batch command window" into Advanced Launcher debug menu is disabled, all the CMD windows directly started by Advanced Launcher will be hidden.



Now, if it is the started .lnk file that open a cmd window there is no really way to simply hide it.

Guys I'm on Mac OS and its not working for me. I get error script failed add.py
Any suggestions?

Could you please give us more information? Could you post here the content of your launchers.xml file and the content of the xbmc.log file after the script error occurs? We need both files to identify what is causing of the error.

---

The only way you can do this is to modify your script to close XBMC instead of suspending it and then restart XBMC when you quit KegaFusion. For the fact that KegaFusion cannot be started when XBMC is into "true fullscreen" mode and for the fact that you have jutter with movies when XBMC is into "fullscreen window", that's an XBMC related problem, and I think you will have to ask XBMC devellopers to fix this problems.

Thanks for the reply. I thought there would be a command line which toggle the true fullscreen back and forth. Thanks anyway

It would be effectively great if XBMC should have this command line.

This error message occurs because you are using an old version of Advanced Launcher not compatible with Frodo version of XBMC. Please use last version of Advanced Launcher : 1.10.7. For this I strongly suggest you to install Angelscry's Repo into XBMC.

Does nullDC works correctly out of XBMC on your sytem?

I want to set it up so I click comics from the home menu then it launches, the adv launcher...and inside it shows the comics I can choose from by type...So like Batman, superman, spiderman Then when I click them it goes into that series of comics, so if I clicked batman, the batman issues would appear...how do I do this?

I know how to do the home menu bit...but I only know how to show one comic with the adv launcher....any ideas?

You need to create several files launchers into Advanced Launcher, one for each series. For example, if you want to add a Batman entry, you will have to create one file launcher using your prefered comic reader application and pointing to the folder containing your batman comics (cbz, cbr, pdf, etc...). Here is a small Youtube tutorial about how create/use files launchers : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Pl-3yEDgUY

Is it possible to use a video preview from emu movies with advanced launcher?

That mostly a skin feature. For each launcher or items Advanced launcher had the possibility to define a custom path, that could for example containing extra-fanart images or video trailers. Actually, for what I know, only the Cirrus Extended v2 skin use this custom path field : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=101

To use extra media with Cirrus Extended (like extra thumbs, extra video and video trailers), you need first to create a folder when you will put all the corresponding extra media files (for example named extramedia). Into this folder, you will need to create one sub-folder for each items with the same displayed name (for example named game1). Then into this folder you will create 2 additional sub-folders named extrathumb and extrafanart. The first directory will contain the extra thumbs image files, and the second one will contain the extra thumbs image files. This image files not need to have a specific name. Finally, the trailer video will be named trailer.mp4 and must be placed into the dedicated extra media folder of the game (game1 in this example).

So I think there is no problem to use video preview from emu movies with Advanced Launcher.

I have thousands of roms, do I have to do this for each game individually? Is there an easier way?

Yes, you'll need to do it for each game individually. I do not see how it could have an easier way. If you want to add extra thumbs, fanarts and trailers to a specific item/rom, you will need to indicate, at least, which images and video files use.

Hi; wondering if anyone can help me...

After I updated from frodo to eden, selecting any of my launchers appears to do nothing, and I'm left at the launcher screen eg.



Each of the launchers has a bunch of items in them. I'm hoping there's a way to retreive them without having to readd/scan/scrape/individually fix them all.

Thanks!@

Your problem looks like an old Frodo bug. Which versions of XBMC and Advanced Launcher are you using?

Where do I put the extra media folder?

You put it where you want. Just take care to indicate where this folder is located into Cirrus Extended v2 skin parameters :

@angelscry: In response to your above response, I checked to make sure I was using 1.10.7 from Angelscry's repo and I am, so not sure what is causing this.

Hey guys, I am getting the entry below in my log when I try to launch any of the four emulators that I have. After selecting a rom to launch, it never launches and returns to the menu. I have the same result for each emulator (zsnes, mednafen, dolphin, mupen64plus). Any ideas from the log below what is going on?

This error message occurs because you are using an old version of Advanced Launcher not compatible with Frodo version of XBMC. Please use last version of Advanced Launcher : 1.10.7. For this I strongly suggest you to install Angelscry's Repo into XBMC.

No, no, no... That's not possible. Your error message indicate that Advanced Launcher try to use the deprecated function executehttpapi(...). This function have been removed from Advanced Launcher code for since version 1.10.0 : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=367. Are you sure version 1.10.7 is installed on your system (and not only listed into my repo)?
