by the way you can import the thumbs easily by using the old launcher but for fanart you have to do it manually in advanced launcher If it helps. Nice work!!

• When creating a launcher if the roms fanarts path and roms thumbs path are the same as the roms path the advanced launcher will automatically search for romfilename_thumb.jpg and romfilename_fanart.jpg.
  
• If roms fanarts path and roms thumbs path are differents than roms path the launcher will automatically search for romfilename.jpg image in each different directory.

Edit: I also get an error attempting to scan for new files, as I thought the addon would automatically populate the list of roms when I add a new launcher, but it never does so I need to manually add them - which works fine

Could it be some sort of permissions error? Might be the cause of the ROM not being able to launch, and I can assure you the path is correct as I needed to add this path as a source

ERROR: Error Contents: (123, 'The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect', 'smb://tower/Game/Emulator/N64/ROMS/*.*')

Jurai Wrote:Thats what i'd assume, but it does actually work when tested from command line, I guess they just concat all of the passed arg's into one combined path since the app doesn't take any other commandline input. Weird choice on their part but it is listed as fact on their faq page. Unfortunately the 1.7 beta is still closed access (unless you donate, or 'obtain' it). I guess you could work around it by not passing the quotations if using PJ64, but then you'd also need to detect if you were passing args to 1.6 or 1.7

Angelscry Wrote:I think the problem could be related to your samba server. I did not already try to test the launcher under this king of configuration possibility. But there is something strange with your launcher.

Your launchers path are like this :

Code:

C:\Games\Emulator\SNES\SNES9X\snes9x.exe

and your roms and images path are like that :

Code:

smb://tower/Game/Emulator/SNES/ROMS/Chrono Trigger (U).zip

Then you will launch a rom the global command line will be something like that :

Code:

C:\Games\Emulator\SNES\SNES9X\snes9x.exe -args "smb://tower/Game/Emulator/SNES/ROMS/Chrono Trigger (U).zip"

I'm not sure that you could use 2 different kind of paths into the same command line (C:\### and smb://). The first one is specific to Windows and the second one is specific to Linux and Networks. I'm not sure that Windows emulators can use paths under Linux or Networks format.

If you plan to use XBMC under windows the first thing to do is to map your network drive under windows like this. After this you will be able to access your network drive using a drive letter path like this for example :

Code:

Z:\\tower\Game/Emulator\SNES\ROMS\Chrono Trigger (U).zip

. Then all your command lines will be homogeneous and I think it will solve your problem.

Eldorado Wrote:But I'm not sure if this also explains the script failing when trying to scan for new files though, as that error in my log is from that action.. as I can add roms manually no problem, just the automatic scan doesn't work.. maybe the "*.*" is not supported?

• new version of the repository addon (v.1.2.0). You need to use this new one if you want to stay updated
  
• new version of the Advanced Launcher (v.0.7.5). Change log on the first post of this topic.
