You are right, sorry ... i was writing from memory. I've toggled that option in Advanced Launcher settings and now it works fine. - takhrai - 2012-02-11 I'm running XBMC Eden + Mac Mini. I cannot choose ".." or my hard drive as source. When i install Advanced Launcher and are trying to choose a emulator. What can i do? - Angelscry - 2012-02-11 takhrai Wrote:I'm running XBMC Eden + Mac Mini.Maybe start to read the user guide : Quote:Add Network or Local drives - J7AYU - 2012-02-11 I cant seem to get the scrapers working seems to scrape but doesnt find any data not even plots or other basic information. Followed the tutorials and have managed to get the emulator and games launching but no metadata is being scraped just get the message no data found. launchers.xml http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=4m8McZMH - Angelscry - 2012-02-12 J7AYU Wrote:I cant seem to get the scrapers working seems to scrape but doesnt find any data not even plots or other basic information.

There is a lot of possible reasons why it does not scrap :
- Angelscry - 2012-02-12 J7AYU Wrote:launchers.xmlOk...thank for the launchers.xml file.... Seems correct. Must be related to the scraper settings. Have you activated the scrapers? Which scrapers are you using? Are you using the "scan for new items" option? - J7AYU - 2012-02-12 Angelscry Wrote:Ok...thank for the launchers.xml file.... Seems correct. Must be related to the scraper settings. Have you activated the scrapers? Which scrapers are you using? Are you using the "scan for new items" option? how do i activate the scrapers? im using thegamesDB scraper but i have tried them all with no joy. and i do not have the scan for new items option just Add on Settings Go to root Search Create new Launcher Edit Launcher Add Items and Add to favourites When clicking on Add Items i have used the scan for new items that when it looks like its scrapping the progress bar comes up but nothing is found when completed just get an white box i'm using the Neon skin on a Windows 7 Ultimate machine - Angelscry - 2012-02-12 J7AYU Wrote:how do i activate the scrapers? im using thegamesDB scraper but i have tried them all with no joy.Scrapers activation are into Advanced launcher settings menu. You just have to put the "collecting method" to "Scrapers" : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=5#p5 - takhrai - 2012-02-12 I've been installed Mednafen in OSX. But how can i add it as emulator? I have to choose a executable file? When i looked here: http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=54 Step 13. At this point you are essentially done. This step is optional, its just a personal preference. The Mednafen executable file is now going to be located in the path Macintosh HD/opt/local/bin/. You can leave it there if you want, since this guide is ultimately for use with Advanced Launcher, you probably won't need to remember where it is. I wanted to move mine to where I keep the rest of my emulators, just for the sake of organization. For notes about setting it up with Advanced Launcher such as Command Line Arguments and what not, refer to the NES section in the first post. What does he mean here? How can i add it? I cannot find the executable file. Is it possible to add a folder with hundreds of roms and run a scraper automatically? - J7AYU - 2012-02-12 Angelscry Wrote:Scrapers activation are into Advanced launcher settings menu. You just have to put the "collecting method" to "Scrapers" : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=5#p5 Yeah I have enabled scrapers then still nothing I have tried deleting the game and adding it again with the different sources still no joy excellent program bys the way just need to get it set up correctly Version 1.7.7 - Angelscry - 2012-02-12 Version 1.7.7 : This new version of Advanced launcher bring some minor modifications. First it fix a bug occurring when using the full import option (import info, thumb and fanart) on items previously scanned with scraper deactivated. Modification have also been made too keep the compatibility of Advanced Launcher with the last beta version of XBMC (Eden Beta 3) : Md5 deprecated function have been replaced by the hashlib function and the non-ascii characters (slashes, quotes and comas) have been removed from the Advanced Launcher code. Finally a new option have been added into Advanced Launcher settings (into Advanced Options) allowing to activate/deactivate the XBMC LIRC support when an application is started. This option is only for the Linux version of XBMC. Changelog :

When i looked here: http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=54If you have installed Mednafen on your system, you must know where you have it has been installed... no? As the tutorial mention it, the executable file must have been installed into /opt/local/bin/ directory (probably as /opt/local/bin//mednafen). Is it possible that if you use Advanced Launcher (or a program addon) for the first time, you do not have already add you local hard-drive as source into XBMC. If this case as mentionned into Advanced Launcher user guide : Quote:Add Network or Local drivesIf you want to use several roms from the same folder with one emulator, you just have to create a files launcher. Look at the tutorial here how to create a file launcher and scrap all the related roms content automatically : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Pl-3yEDgUY - Angelscry - 2012-02-12 J7AYU Wrote:Yeah I have enabled scrapers then still nothing I have tried deleting the game and adding it again with the different sources still no joy excellent program bys the way just need to get it set up correctlyAdvanced Launcher allows you to manage your content into different manners, as you want. In general flexibility is not really compatible with facility. You effectively need to setup Advanced Launcher correctly to use its power. For that I have wrote a user guide, wiki pages, created a specific support board and some youtube tutorials. - J7AYU - 2012-02-12 Angelscry Wrote:Advanced Launcher allows you to manage your content into different manners, as you want.

I have set it up using said guides and video tutorials and I'm still getting nada from scrapes it looks like its scraping but nothing appears, I'm trying to find Star Fox 64 it's deffo on TheGamesDB which is the source for my scrapes. Could it be a compatibility issue cause I also have Launcher installed causing a conflict I dunno :S - Angelscry - 2012-02-12 J7AYU Wrote:I have set it up using said guides and video tutorials and I'm still getting nada from scrapes it looks like its scraping but nothing appears, I'm trying to find Star Fox 64 it's deffo on TheGamesDB which is the source for my scrapes.

Some skins and views do not have any Advanced Launcher metadata (info and image) display support. |
