Passion of the XBMC and I updated the software with XBMC Update.

Celle de XBMC Passion et je l'ai mis à jour avec le logiciel XBMC Update.
Celle-cihttp://passion-xbmc.org/downloads/?cat=30 et mise à jour.

Ok that's not an official version of XBMC... but a modified version by the XBMC passion team. So it could be the problem...

I'll try an official version.

Non officiel DX revision .

Yes it's a non official version of XBMC and also based on an unstable version of XBMC. So it could explain why you have problems. If you want to use XBMC on your HTPC always use the stable version. Only use unstable version for development. I will not make support of Advanced Launcher on unstable version of XBMC.

I understand, thank you for the advice.
Good night, I would try an official release tomorrow.
Thank you

Instead of directly start huludesktop and let xbmc run in backgound you can use an intermediate script that will put xbmc into pause then start huludesktop. Then when huludesktop will be ended, XBMC will be resumed. Are you using a Windows or Linux system ?

Thanks for the reply.

I'm on Linux (Dharma live cd installed to a HD).

Do you know offhand the command to pause XBMC?

Thanks for the reply.

To put XBMC process into pause :

Code:

killall -STOP xbmc.bin

To resume XBMC process:

Code:

killall -CONT xbmc.bin

Hello!

I've made a Brazilian Portuguese translation for the addon. Could it be added to the official release?

Thanks for the great plugin!!

I'd really appreciate some help here. I installed the repository, then the addon. When I launch it and try to add an emulator, the only option I see is "D:\". I dont have a D drive what so ever. Just a C:\ drive, but it's not visible, so there is no way for me to search for an EXE/ROMS/etc. I can't get past the first step.

Any ideas? Same thing happens to me for the other ROM Browser plugin.

Please read instruction manual : http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-advanced-l...stallation
If you are not able to access your network or local drives when using Advanced Launcher, you will have to add them first as sources. To do this use XBMC files manager, browse to your network or local drives and add them as sources.

Hi guys. I need some help please.

First I assure you I searched first... no avail.

So my question is simply "How to create submenues?"

Like a launcher witht the name First Person Shooters with fanart and thumb and all but when I click on it it goes to another menu with only First person shooters.

Please point me how even if I have to do them manually.

By submenus your mean, submenus into Advanced Launcher or submenus into XMBC homme page linking to Advanced Launcher?

Thank you for the quick reply. I'd really appreciate if you can tell me about both. But I believe if it's for home I'd have to create different copies of the script or something. So if you may tell me about submenues within Advanced launcher, I'd appreciate that. Thank you.

Creation of submenues is not natively supported by Advanced Launcher. Advanced Launcher only allows to create launchers and list them into a single list. There is 2 kind of launchers : stand-alone (for simple game of application) and files launcher (for files application like emulators). The last type of launcher create a subfolder containing all the file managed by the launcher. Now if you want to list all your "First Person Shooters" games:

1/. The quick way: is to use the search engine option included into Advanced Launcher. You will have to identified all your games that are "First Person Shooters" games and indicate "First Person Shooters" into their genre field. Then using the search engine by genre, you will be able to list all your "First Person Shooters" games into all the launchers. But you will not be able to acces this result directly from a submenu (into Advanced Launcher) or from a favorite (into XBMC).

2./ The stricky way: is that you can also try to install twice Advanced launcher on your system (by changing the name of the add-on folder and make some small editing) and use it only for "First Person Shooters" games. But it's starting to be complicated.

3./ The best way: is to create a file launcher named "First Person Shooters" that will start script files (.bat or .sh). Those script files, all into the same directory, will start the games (but not necessary using the same emulator application). So the content of your file launcher will be multi-platform. It will be more long to build-up, because you will have to add your games into Advanced Launcher (using semi-automatic or manual option) and also create each game dedicated script one by one. But it will do exactly waht you want. Then you will be able to add this launcher to favorite and then also add it to XBMC submenu if you want. The only problem is that if you have different platform, game covers wil not have the same shap (square, wide, tall) and they will not be well displayed.

Maybe my last update bring some new bugs... Please, post here the part of your launchers.xml file corresponding to the launcher and the items that cause the problem. It will help us to reproduce your problem and found more quickly the solution

I tried it both ways: Using a stand-alone launcher and using a file-launcher-setup.

1. File-Launcher-Setup:

2. Standalone-Launcher-Setup (only one item):
