Here is the way to start Windows Media center from Advanced Launcher (http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?ti...dia_Center). It must be similar for 7mc. To add a 7mc shortcut to the home menu, you just have to add your 7mc launcher as favorite, and then add this favorite to a custom entry of the menu. But the skin you are using must support this option.

Awesome.. I got it all working now.. thanks for your help..

Can you clarify something for me please

Have had XBMC for sometime now but only decided to use this plugin yesterday as I thought I'd check out using it for comics and games (eventually)

Anyway I've watched all your tutorials and followed the instructions, downloded a sample cbr file and added ComicRack to my PC. Can get everything set up save for actually being able to view the comic!

Also tried adding IE and couldn't get that to work.

The only thing I can think it is down to is because my XBMC is on a linux partition and my applications are on the Windows & partition. Am I right in thinking that for this program to work XBMC and the application, emulator etc must be on the same partition?

Also having done it all have I correctly discovered that ComicRack doesn't work for linux so I couldn't even copy it over to my linux partition?

Cheers Andrew

That's not a question of partition, that's a question of operating system. You cannot start Windows applications directly from a Linux operating system. If your XBMC system is runnig under linux you can only start Linux applications from it.

thanks I guess that's kind of what I was alluding to. I thought it was a Windows v Linux thing.

In expectancy of this I added XBMC to windows today. Seems to run OK though the packages for watching movies appear to be better in the linux version as they dont seem to run with quite as much quality on Windows.

Time to run your launcher again under my new windows set up.

Cheers Andrew

Hi all - long time user of this wonderful add on. Last couple of weeks though the alphabetical order of all my launchers has been reversed (ie goes from Z to A rather than A to Z). Highly annoying. The 'Sort:Ascending/Descending' option in the side panel is grayed out on the ascending option so I can't switch it. Any ideas? Am I doing something really obviously wrong? Many thanks in advance!

Could not be only Advanced Launcher related. Which version of XBMC are you using? Which skin (and version) are you using?

I only see it in advanced launcher, not in TV, Movies, Music etc.

Skin: Aeon Nox 1.7.0

XBMC 10.1 Git:e9e9099

Loaded up Night skin and it was back to front in that too. Definitely weird.

I have advanced launcher set up to launch wii games using Dolphin. All works great until you quit the game and then dolphin crashes and ultimately does not return you to xbmc. Now I know that there seems to be a long running issue with Dolphin x64 version crashing on exit from the program (not the game) on gtx 5 series cards. Is there any way to have advanced launcher exit the game and leave Dolphin running so it retuns to xbmc?

Directly from Advanced Launcher no. Are you under Windows or Linux? How do you quit the emulator?

i am using windows x64, i use esc key to quit, which it does but dolphin crashes, as it does when you completely close dolphin on x64 then no return to xbmc like you get with regular pc games for instance

Humm... Maybe you can try to create a small autoit script, that will force to close Dolphin when you will hit the ESC key. Here is an exemple : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=43. What you can try is to adapt this script for Dolphin and disable de ESC key into Dolphin configuration. So it will be the autoit script that will close Dolphin and not Dolphin itself. You have to way to close an application :

Code:

ProcessClose ( "dolpĥin-emu.exe" )

that will close the dolpĥin-emu process, and :

Code:

WinClose ( "Dolphin")

that will close the Dolphin windows. I think the ProcessClose() function can do the job.

Hi Chaps.

I followed this guide on making a specialist adv. Launcher - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wXx2vn3X...re=related

But instead of comics I used emu i.e.
<addon id="plugin.program.advanced.launcher.emu" name="Advanced Emulation"

I changed both the xml and py shown in the video adding the .emu
Changed the folder name adding .emu

copied the folder to the addons folder in appdata/roaming/xbmc/addons - as shown

But nothing comes up in XBMC

I even zipped the file and tried to install it both that gave me an error message of incorrect file structure.

I am using XBMC 11.0 PRE Git:20120212-a533f3b and advanced launcher 1.7.11

Any ideas

If you have an error could you please post here the content of the xbmc.log file after the error occured. I suppose you have this error because you have used a text editor that do not support UTF-8 format. Look at this post : http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?p=8...post895319. Redo all the step but edit your file with PSPad and be sur the save the files into UTF-8 format. I may works.
