I have just installed a Aeon Nox skin on my system. First I have added Advanced Launcher as an XBMC favourite via Advanced Launcher context menu ("C" key). Then I have addon a custom entry into Aeon Nox main menu (System > Appearance > Skin > Settings > Customizers > Main Menu item Customizer > Select Custom 1 > Choose Type > Favourite > Advanced Launcher). As expected the entry value is :
Seems the Aeon Nox board is silent, I'm just gonna keep digging I suppose. The way the logs are responding, it seems like I'd have to modify one of Advanced Launcher's .py files to make it launch properly? Doesn't seem right IMO.
Code:
ActivateWindow(10001,"plugin://plugin.program.advanced.launcher/", return)
Then go again into Choose Type > Custom and indicate :
Code:
ActivateWindow(10001,"plugin://plugin.program.advanced.launcher/?default/", return)
Then go into Change Label and replace "Advanced Launcher" title by "Games". Finally uncheck "Disable" to activate the custom entry. That's all. Now when you click on the Games menu entry, Advanced Launcher is automatically started into the default directory. !!!?

I will try to see if there is not another way to speed up all the system. About how many roms were are talking about here? 100? 1.000? 10.000? What is actually the size of your launchers.xml file? Is it possible to send my a zipped version of your launchers (so I will be able to works on something more concrete)?
I have a request. I noticed that since v2 there's support for categories, with this recent change I have decided to abandon RCB in favour of Advanced launcher now it launches nearly everything and and at this rate already proves to be much more easy to use and faster. Recently I've added an entire MAME collection understandably it slows down the plugin quite a bit upon load. Is it possible to have separate launcher XML files per category. Now no matter which category I choose it always takes a long time to load because it seems to browse the entire index upon entering a category. I would imagine that if there were separate XML files per category this would allow for advanced launcher to keep it's speed if just loading smaller categories. I understand if it's not high on the priority list but hope that this can be implemented sometime. Thanks again for all the effort!
