I think (not too sure going to try it) that you only get sound on new messages and have to shift-tab to see the actual message ingame

When I open Adv Launcher, I can only see my DVD drive. It's a laptop so it's not convenient to unplug it. Do you have any suggestions?

thx

Version 1.2.0 - Angelscry - 2011-02-12 20:59

This new version of advanced launcher is mostly dedicated to the improvement on the command line support.

Change Log
  • Fix local thumbs and fanart images search method: Fix the bug reported by therealjoeblow about the automatic import of local thumbs and fanart images.
  • Fix launcher advanced menu error on windows system: The menu was not accessible. It s now fixed.
  • Add new way to start application for windows system: This new way to start application allows finally to have a 100% compatible windows command line support for Advanced Launcher. For example, it fix the bug with romnames that was containing comas.
  • Remove Wait/state option for windows system: This option was the cause of the non 100% compatible windows command line support. So I have simply removed it. Users that will want now to pause XBMC will need to use an external script (.bat or .sh) to do it.
  • Auto-hide launched .bat file window: Due to the remove of the Wait/state option, the use of external scripts (.bat or .sh) will be increasingly necessary. With this new feature, any .bat files windows started as launcher will been automatically hidden.
  • Add %rompath% and %apppath% command line parameters: This 2 news argument parameters will allows user to have a more flexible command line (for the use of specific configuration or savestate files). %apppath% is corresponding to the path of the started application and %rompath% is corresponding to the path of the roms folder.
  • Stop playing media before launch any application: If a media (audio or video) is playing on XBMC, it will be automatically stopped to avoid any possible sound conflict between XBMC and the started applications.
  • Fix progress display when all scrapers are deactivated: Hide the "Not Found" message displayed when scanning items with deactivated scrapers.

Hello Angelscry.

I use Windows XP and I have a problem with version 1.2.0 when using the true fullscreen XBMC:

A bit like in version 1.1.0 of Advanced Launcher, when I leave an application, XBMC is minimized in the taskbar, and also the emulator Kega Fusion displays an error at startup.
If I use fake fullscreen XBMC, no problem.

Note that I do not have those problems with the previous version 1.0.6 using the real full screen XBMC.


Except this:
The automatic shutdown of a music video or launch a game works well.
Games with Comma Going good.

I think your problem is directly linked to the Kega Fusion error at startup. What is exactly this error message? Eek

Kega Fusion was one of the emulators I have use to test the last version of Advanced Launcher under windows before publish it and all was working great on my Windows 7 system. There is no reason to not work on your system. I think you have something wrong into your configuration. Do you have read the Wiki page corresponding to Kega the Fusion configuration : http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?title=Kega_Fusion#Windows ?

Also, if you could pastebin here your launchers.xml file, I will surely be able to help you more efficaciously. Nod

Hello Angelscry, sorry, I could access my PC containing XBMC until later in the day.
But I can already show you the windows error Kega Fusion have ever poster over version 1.1.0:
http://img823.imageshack.us/i/erreurekegafusion.jpg/
The argument I use to Kega Fusion:
-gen -fullscreen "%rom%"

Configuring Advanced Launcher is the default configuration.

I can not tell you for now, I
send you the configuration Launchers.xml soon as possible.
Can I ask what is your version of XBMC?
Mine is a version that I update regularly via the XBMC software update.

How do I pause XBMC using my .bat script in windows?
