Hello there,
I've created a small plugin that allow launch windows programs inside XBMC "Programs" section.
Unlike the "emuLauncher" script, mine is a plugin, not a script, so it integrates with the XBMC GUI seamlessly.
I'll be thankful if you would install and test my plugin, so I will fix bugs before I continue improving it.
Download Link:
http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-launcher/downloads/list
SVN Access:
svn checkout http://xbmc-launcher.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ xbmc-launcher-read-only
Wiki:
http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-launcher/wiki/Main
Plugin Features:
- Run an application with arguments.
- Run a file from directory using given application.
- Search & Download images for applications and files using Yahoo search engine.
- Full work with the GUI with. (add application, remove, add files, etc..)
Installation:
1. unzip the file into Plugins/Program directory.
2. (linux users only): create a symlink for /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4 named /usr/lib/libcurl.so (run: "sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4 /usr/lib/libcurl.so" in terminal)
3. Run XBMC:
3.1. Switch to MC360 Skin (or some other skin that has "Programs" Section)
3.2. Go to Games -> Applications -> Add Source -> Browse -> Program Plugins
3.3. Select Launcher and Click "OK"
3.4. Click OK Again.
3.5. Right Click on "Launcher" Icon
3.6. Choose "Add to Favorites"
3.7. Switch back to PMIII Skin.
3.8. Click on the Arrow in the bottom right corner
