If your database will be not able to make differences between platform system for a same game title I will not add scraping support of it into the advanced launcher. - DasFa - 2010-12-02 Angelscry Wrote:No it is not possible to do this with actually with the advanced launcher addon and I do not know if it will be possible. I'm a Linux user and do not have dual screen so it will be difficult for me to investigate on this way. Maybe you will have to investigate into Windows functionalities to see if there is a command line of software to force to launch an application on a specific screen. If so it may be possible to create a .bat file or an autoit script to do the job. Then it will be possible to launch this script using the advanced launcher. Alright. Thank you for your time and help. btw - very nice plugin! dont know how i could live without it but still have some questions and ideas. is your adv. launcher plugin going to be in a repo? so that im able to have automaticly the latest release? there is an option in EMU games to pick up the fanart / box from a scrapper (in the context menu) but it its not there for windows games. is this planned for the future? a little idea: is it possible to show a game trailer in the background instead of the fanart while browsing the games? like in the playstation 3 os. have you seen that? i would love to have that but anyway like i said, this is a very cool plugin! thank you for your work! - Angelscry - 2010-12-02 DasFa Wrote:is your adv. launcher plugin going to be in a repo? so that im able to have automaticly the latest release?Because the old launcher version still supposedly active, repositories maintainers are not really enthusiastic to host my version (confusions between users and/or duplicate applications). So I have planned to create my proper repository when the launcher will be finished (futures version 1.0 with automatic images and data scraping for launchers and addons). Actually my version is like a beta version. DasFa Wrote:there is an option in EMU games to pick up the fanart / box from a scrapper (in the context menu) but it its not there for windows games. is this planned for the future?Yes, of course, it is planned. I'm actually waiting feedbacks of this functionality on roms and when they will be sufficiently positive I will add it for launchers. DasFa Wrote:a little idea: is it possible to show a game trailer in the background instead of the fanart while browsing the games? like in the playstation 3 os. have you seen that? i would love to have thatHeuuu... yes I think it theoretically possible. But it will need a lot of works : found videos sources, code a scrapper, modify the skin, etc... - ppic - 2010-12-02 why don't you just make your own addon with that, calling it Game launcher (it's game specifiq no ? ) there won't be confusion that way. - rausch101 - 2010-12-02 ppic Wrote:why don't you just make your own addon with that, calling it Game launcher (it's game specifiq no ? ) there won't be confusion that way. I considered suggestion that same name, but the launcher can also be used to launch stand-alone executables. Although it sure seems to be focussing on games! - malte - 2010-12-02 I hope you accept comments from the dark side Why not following spiffs suggestion from the mailing list: talk to zosky and integrate your changes into the original launcher? There has been no activity in the old thread since you "left" it and there don't seem to be any code changes to the original for several weeks. And if you have finished your work (or even now) there won't be any use for the old version. - Angelscry - 2010-12-02 ppic Wrote:why don't you just make your own addon with that, calling it Game launcher (it's game specifiq no ? ) there won't be confusion that way.Actually the addon is called "Advanced Launcher" and it is under this name that I have propose it to the repository. "Game launcher" name will be also ok... I think.. but it can also launch other applications than games if you do not use the scrap options. - JustinAiken - 2010-12-02 What about using Passion-XBMC's repo? - Angelscry - 2010-12-02 malte Wrote:I hope you accept comments from the dark sideOk, look, there is 2 options to share my contribution :
- ppic - 2010-12-02 feel free to put it on xbmc passion repo, it's here for that - Angelscry - 2010-12-02 clock2113 Wrote:What about using Passion-XBMC's repo?Because I'm French, Passion-XBMC's repo was my naturally second choice. After contact them, I have tried to upload my add-on two times though their website, but without any luck. So I have renounced. - Angelscry - 2010-12-02 ppic Wrote:feel free to put it on xbmc passion repo, it's here for thatAlso, there is the old version of the original launcher on xbmc-passion repo. But I will surely make another try. - ppic - 2010-12-02 come to me if no success - Angelscry - 2010-12-02 ppic Wrote:come to me if no successI'm actually into contact with DanoneKiD. |
