It's also broken here with Frodo 12.1... and I don't know why. That's why I'm actually working on the next version of Advanced Launcher that will include categories. So you will be able to create categories (comics, games, emulators, magazines, etc...) directly into Advanced Launcher and sort your different launchers into these categories. So, you will normally not need to use anymore duplicate version of Advanced Launcher.

A WIP version is already availiable on the GIT... but I still need to add some features like "automatically import launchers from Advanced Launcher duplicate version" (you can only do it by editing your launchers.xml files now), "modify categories thumbs, fanarts NFO", and check if all the other Advanced Launcher features have not be broken with the additon of the category support. You can use this WIP version if you want (at your onw risk), and maybe play a little the beta tester or wait a couple of days (maybe weeks) that the new version be fully functionnal. But... I will not support anymore duplicate versioning of Advanced Launcher in the future.
Awesome! I requested this several months ago, but it did not sound as it would be happening. Nice!
Will test the GIT version when I come home from work tonight. Will the GIT version update to the final automatically?
Hi, having a few probs today and looking for some help, setup a couple of progs to launch but every now and then i get a script error: addon py and my list of executables iv setup get deleted and i have to reset them up, i am running Frod0o V12.0 / windows 7 32bit, any help greately appreciated as i am very to to the this plugin, its great wen i dont have these errors :>

Which version of AdvanceLauncher are you running?
Have you installed AngelCry's repo so that Advance Launcher can update to the latest version?

What do you think, is it possible to find the cause why not work Advanced Launcher with frodo.
I emailed the organization of xbmc for exe files support in xbmc,no response.If only XBMC made for movies and music, I will buy again xbox 360.
What do you mean? Advanced Launcher works with Frodo! The problem is not Advanced Launcher. The problem is that with the different releases of XBMC, it become more and more complicated to start and run external applications at the same time than XBMC. This last one tend to control/modify any graphical, audio and input resources of your operating system.

I installed airfoil to stream music from xbmc to airport express connected speakers but once it was installed on my computer, (windows 8) advanced launcher wouldn't run any more. Bit of an odd conflict but as soon as I removed airfoil it started working again. I installed it again just to make sure and again advanced launcher stopped working. Airfoil wasn't even running?? Hope this helps someone
What do you mean by not working? Which version of XBMC and Advanced Launcher are you using? What exactly happen?

GIT version is actually 1.99. Final version (repo) will be 2.0. So if the Angelscry's repo is installed on XBMC, GIT version will be automatically updated to the final version.

Upgrading to 12.1 is the best move. To your executable list problem, Advanced Launcher include a restore backup option. Go into Advanced Launcher settings > Backup/Debug > Load a backup Launchers.xml file then select the one before your problem occurs (format of file names are DATE-launchers.xml). Then it will restore your executable list. This problem have been bring by Frodo 12.0. Actually I don't know if Frodo 12.1 have fixed the problem.
I wanted to say that it is a mistake in xbmc,not in your launcher.
I'm sorry, you understand me wrong,without your launcher I would not have used the xbmc.
I do not need a media center only for movis and music.
From version to version of xbmc I just fixing things that there is no standard.And you have to be damn hackers to use XBMC.

Best Regards
I tried the GIT verion last night. Unfortunately I could not get it working, set up as normal but then at the point of add items, it does not do anything. It could be me but I think there may be something amiss??
be kind, rewind

The GIT version is actually not a working version. And I will not make any support of the GIT version here, only for the released one.
Looking for some help using the latest version of Higan (BSnes). This emulator is has now become the best emulator out there for NES, SNES, GB, GBA, GBC, and Nintendo DS.

There are two issues with this emulator that I am having with advanced launcher.

First, the creator of the emulator likes to use SFC (Snes) and FC (NES) files for the roms. When I use his program to seemlessly convert my collection over to this format advanced launcher will no longer find them as roms. In fact it seems that they are folders now, so therefore I am unable to use the format preferred by the creator. It will detect and launch the usual *.nes & *.smc files no problem.

The second issue is a minor inconveinence, and that is launching in full screen mode. The current version went through a lot of changes and when I launch a game it will only start in windowed mode, I then have to press F11 to go to full screen. Is there a script or something I can attached to the launcher that will "press" F11 for me?

Thanks in advance and this is a great add-on for XBMC.
im having this problem when i open advance launcher i gotthis error script.py failed (something like that) then after the launcher i made was gone. then i need to do it again.... then after sometime it will crash again script fail! then all of the launcher i created is gone again.... it took me back to create new launcher. any help/ so frustrating =(

If you lost your launchers list, Advanced Launcher include a backup feature (into Addon Settings > Backup/Debug) to recover it. Concerning the error script message, you will need to post the content of the xbmc.log file (using pastebin services), after the error message occurrs, to see what happen. Also which versions of XBMC and Advanced Launcher are you using?

You can use retroarch with the 0.92 higan core, it's better suited for HTPC duty

Go into Advanced Launcher settings > "Backup/Debug" section, and select the option "Load a backup file". Then select the YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-MILLISEC-launchers.xml file just before your problem occurs, then your launchers list will be restored : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=469
473 pages in, but still thanks for the plugin. As others have had, I have a major issue right now where the file launcher doesn't work. I've tried both the latest git version and the version from the repo, and both tested on 12.0 and 12.1. It will create the launcher, but it won't scan the games. It just shows up like a standalone launcher. If I try running it, nothing happens and there are no errors in the log file.
