Could you give me one more little bit of direction on where to do that please? I feel like I searched all over.Use up, down, left or right keys (depending to display you are actually using) to access the XBMC display menu and select the view you want. - MikeQuell - 2012-02-01 Hah, just found it this morning before reading your reply. I updated to Eden and came across it in the default skin. I don't think the changes were taking affect with one of the other skins I had so I forgot to check that menu again. Thanks so much for helping me out. - orewagundam79 - 2012-02-01 Hi, did you change how you return data to XBMC? I was using this field Code: $INFO[ListItem.Year] I can still get the year by using the Code: $INFO[ListItem.Premiered] - Angelscry - 2012-02-01 orewagundam79 Wrote:Hi,I did not change anything. XBMC do not support the ListItem.Year infolabel for program add-ons. So it has never been possible to use it with Advanced Launcher. That's why Advanced Launcher use ListItem.Premiered instead of ListItem.Year to display the date. You will found all the infolabels used by Advanced Launcher and more usefull information for skinners here : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=184 - orewagundam79 - 2012-02-01 Angelscry Wrote:I did not change anything.

Oh well, I'll try to handle it in my skin, thanks for the help - butchabay - 2012-02-02 Angelscry Wrote:Thank you very much butchabay for your works on the support of Advanced Launcher on the Fusion Migma v2 skin. Now you can add this to your Screenshots Collection Cheers, keep up your great work mate! - fidoboy - 2012-02-02 I'm having a very curious issue when using this addon. I'm trying to launch Safari browser from XBMC (running under Windows 7) but i can't 1. If in XBMC settings i have 'Use maximized window...' unchecked then the app is being launched, but my starting browser page is not being displayed (i have Topsites as startpage, that is topsites://). It's also funny, that if i click on the empty displayed start page, it launch my sites, so clicking on the right places, it works as there is invisible links for each site. 2. If i activate 'Use maximized window...' in XBMC, then Safari is launched fine, using my default startpage, but XBMC window remains on top, and i can't use the background app. In both cases after closing the launched application, XBMC is not being restored and keeps minimized. Also, as i've reported a few posts ago, OnLive app doesn't work with this addon (actually the app is being launched, cause i can see the onlive.exe process in the task manager, but there is no interface or any window displayed). These issues makes this addon almost useless for me, on Windows platforms. regards, - Angelscry - 2012-02-02 fidoboy Wrote:I'm having a very curious issue when using this addon.

Are you sure you are using the right command line to start a specific page with Safari? BTW... does Safari supporting command line? You may also have mis-configured your launchers. Please post here the content of your launchers.xml file using pastebin service. I will take a look. If Safari is not working, there is other browsers that perfectly works with Advanced Launcher under windows : http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?title=Web_Browsers fidoboy Wrote:In both cases after closing the launched application, XBMC is not being restored and keeps minimized. Also, as i've reported a few posts ago, OnLive app doesn't work with this addon (actually the app is being launched, cause i can see the onlive.exe process in the task manager, but there is no interface or any window displayed).As I have wrote many time here, that's a Eden version XBMC problem (XBMC do not have maximize built-in function). You can use a pre-launcher script, similar to this one, to fix it : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=199 fidoboy Wrote:These issues makes this addon almost useless for me, on Windows platforms.Advanced Launcher start applications using command line. If your applications (Safari or Onlive) do not support command line correctly... that's not my problem. Ask Safari or Onlive developers to add (or fix) such basic application features. But that's clearly not my job. Concerning the maximizing problem of Eden version of XBMC under Windows... XBMC do not include a built-in option to maximize the XBMC windows (but the minimize built-in option exists). So there is now way for Advanced Launcher to internally maximize XBMC. We need to use external script to do it. If you are not agree, ask XBMC developers to add an option to maximize XBMC. That's again not my job. - Angelscry - 2012-02-02 butchabay Wrote:Now you can add this to your Screenshots CollectionThanks butchabay. I will surely found time to test the skin this week-end and maybe wrote a small skin review on Advanced Launcher forum. - fidoboy - 2012-02-02 Angelscry Wrote:Looks more like a Safari problem.

I've also tried Chrome and it happens something simmilar. I can't see what's the problem to launch a simple exe... if there is no args, it should work the same... Ok, i see your point, but both apps doesn't need any command line arguments, if i launch these apps from the windows console it works with no problems I will try to use nircmd to solve the maximize problem... thanks for your support and also for this addon.. i'm just pointing the problems i found when using it. - bakito - 2012-02-02 hello angels! thanks again for this great plug-in...I'll never say it enough! just one question , is it possible to add a "genre" by emulator; in a sub-menu or something...? ( fighting,course,shoot....) I was wondering since my advance launcher is becoming quite big!! and since the scrapper add such info for our roms... anyway keep up the good work! cheers - Angelscry - 2012-02-02 fidoboy Wrote:I'm launching Safari without arguments, just the exe file.

I have ask you to post here the content of your launchers.xml file, because I suspect that you have miss configured your Safari and Onlive launchers. - Angelscry - 2012-02-02 bakito Wrote:hello angels!No... not possible. If you have to many items, Advanced Launcher include a search engine that could search items by genre. - bakito - 2012-02-02 ok! thanks! - bakito - 2012-02-02 hi everyone I found this on the interweb http://vertrixgame.com/component/content/article/7/11-closemul well I didn't have the time to test it but the "esc" key is a reccurent problem so maybe this will help us!! cheers! |
