I want to launch programs but one to be ala and the other one program launcher so they don't mix up, that way I can fire my browser or anything else from xbmc.Yes you can do it. But it will be more a hack of the Advanced Lanucher than a real functionnality. The idea is to install a second time Advanced Launcher on XBMC but with a different name.
ATM using executor for the programs but it pales in comparision to ALA
- Manually download the last version of Advanced Launcher here.
- Extract the zip file.
- Rename "plugin.program.advanced.launcher" directory name to "plugin.program.advanced.launcher2" for example
- Into this directory, edit addon.xml file and replace byCode:
<addon id="plugin.program.advanced.launcher" name="Advanced Launcher"
Code:<addon id="plugin.program.advanced.launcher2" name="Advanced Launcher2"
- Then Into this directory edit /ressources/lib/launcher_plugin.py file and replace byCode:
PLUGIN_DATA_PATH = xbmc.translatePath( os.path.join( "special://profile/addon_data", "plugin.program.advanced.launcher") )
__settings__ = Addon( id="plugin.program.advanced.launcher" )
Code:PLUGIN_DATA_PATH = xbmc.translatePath( os.path.join( "special://profile/addon_data", "plugin.program.advanced.launcher2") )
__settings__ = Addon( id="plugin.program.advanced.launcher2" ) - Finally copy the "plugin.program.advanced.launcher2" directory into the XBMC/addons directory.
