Quote:1. Is there any way to use google images as a search engine instead.
sure, but it's need some coding.
1. you'll need to replicate YAHOO folder (under search_engines) and named it "Google".
2. then edit search_engine.py, replace the url with the google rss images search string. (I don't know what is it, you'll have to check)
3. finally, replace the Result, Title and Url tags according to the XML given by google.
every beginning programmer should be able to do that.
Quote:2. When doing a search for images for my roms it doesnt pull up any results, but if i search for the thumbs for the actual games it works ( it seems to work at the highest level but not for roms)
the search for the roms composed of the launcher name and the rom name.
that means - if you named your launcher "MAME" and your rom "bobble" the search string will be "booble MAME".
Quote:3. Has anyone gotten the launcher to run under Aeon , or PM3?
I add the launcher to the favorites, in mc360 then switch back to PM3 and when i click on the little arrow favourites pops up with launcher in it but when i select it it crashes(possibly for the same reasons that 4 crashes below)
I had the same problem, i removed the plugin from programs section, removed it also from favorites, added the plugin again, and added to favorites within the MC360 gui, and then switched back to the PM3, it worked.
Quote:4. I wondered if it were possible to have a shortcut on the skin for example the games button on mc360 directly launch the launcher plugin
I don't sure about the syntax but i think you should do something like:
Code:
<onclick>XBMC.RunPlugin(plugin://programs/Launcher/?LAUNCHERNAME/ROMNAME)</onclick>
replace LAUNCHERNAME and ROMNAME with the values that you need.
