The setup has a number of menu items constructed around Advanced Launcher and has been stable with no configuration changes for a number of months.With the addition of the categories support into Advanced Launcher (version 2.0.0) the XBMC url to call a category/launcher/item have been modified. So, if you have created those menu entry before version 2.0.0 of Advanced Launcher it will be possible that they are not working anymore.
Last night I noticed that one of my menu choices wasn't responding. When I went to check a number of the others weren't as well. All the non-responsive menu items were ones constructed around advanced launcher.
Also XBMC url to calls are like this : plugin://plugin.program.advanced.launcher/?CATEGORY/LAUNCHER/ITEM. So if you create a menu entry for a launcher or an item, and then if into Advanced Launcher you move the launcher to another category, the XBMC url will not be valide/active anymore.

In Settings/Add-Ons/Get Add-Ons there is still Angelscry Repository and it is still enabled.This fact is not normal.... and may be related to a XBMC add-on management problem. What you can try is to :
The last time I can confirm that the Adv Launcher items worked was perhaps a couple of days ago (been watching Olympics). There have been no changes in the system in that time. It doesn't matter which skin is up, the add-on is gone.
If anyone has any idea what may have happened or suggestions on how to recover Adv Launcher I'd really appreciate it. I'll be digging into it in the meantime.
