RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Application, Emulator and ROMs Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2012-03-14

You need to scrap your comics with the comicvine scraper to add their related information and thumbnail images.
RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Application, Emulator and ROMs Launcher Addon for XBMC - dirtymurt - 2012-03-14
ok that's what i figured. but have you any idea why comicvine is not pulling through any info then?
also is it possible to diplay them in folders, Batman, Spider-man etc... or do they just appear as a large list of comics, similar to library mode for films but way way bigger
?

(2012-03-14, 12:59)dirtymurt Wrote: ok that's what i figured. but have you any idea why comicvine is not pulling through any info then?Huu... with the few information you give to me, it could be for a lot of reasons :
- wrong declared directory to scan,
- wrong declared file extension to scan,
- collection mode not set to "scraper" for information and thumbs,
- filenames of the .cbr or .cbz file not enough explicit (search is based on filename and must be : volume name + issue number),
- comics are not present into comicvine database.
- comics are present into comicvine database but do not have any information.
RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Application, Emulator and ROMs Launcher Addon for XBMC - dirtymurt - 2012-03-14
can you give me a filename example. I am using the ones created by comicrack which is something like Amazing Spider-man #602.cbz

Real name is The Amazing Spider-man #602 but the comicvine website search engine is able to found the right issue with just Amazing Spider-man #602 so the scraper, which is based on this search engine, must give you a result. So is it possible that there is something wrong with the scraper itself. I will try to check this this evening (I'm actually at work). But it could be also due to a wrong use of Advanced Launcher and the comicvine scraper. Are you sure to have set the Collecting method to "Scraper" :
RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Application, Emulator and ROMs Launcher Addon for XBMC - dirtymurt - 2012-03-14
i am sure yes. I had it working well with PC games. it would not pull through wii games though and comics is struggling now. I am using eden rc2 and aeon mq3 in portable mode

RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Application, Emulator and ROMs Launcher Addon for XBMC - dirtymurt - 2012-03-14
i'm now getting script failed: addon.py immediately after scraping and nothing has scraped even though it looked like it did
ok, now i'm getting somewhere. i had to set read write permissions on my directory. that stopped the error. now the comics scrape. except it pulls through jpg instead of tbn. Do you know how do i get it to display jpg thumbs?
weird, and after a brief pause, it now sees the jpg thumbs. ah well, alls well that ends well

It completely disappears from the launchers.xml file.

- You have deleted by mistake de launcher (but I think it is not the case)
- The launchers.xml file have been corrupted during saving (but in this case you may not just lost the Super Nintendo entry).
- Advanced Launcher have generated 2 launchers with the same ID and have erased the Super Nintendo one. Launcher ID are based on MD5 calculation based on time (millisec.) and random number (32 bits). Could be possible that you where not lucky and that during the same millisec. Advanced Launcher have generated 2 times the same 32 bits number and so generated the same ID. Or the 2 generated random number give the same MD5... But... it is pratically impossible.

ok, last question (I promise, probably). is there any way to sort out comics into sets, such as Batman, Spiderman, X-men etc.... at the moment all comics appear which is 1000's of them?

why didn't I think of that? well done sir!
is there a way of giving each set it's own thumb then?
RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Application, Emulator and ROMs Launcher Addon for XBMC - h8redv2 - 2012-03-16
can I use advanced launcher to run a command based on folder content ?
I have a bunch og ripped iso´s and som are 3D like thatgreatmovie-3dbd.iso
Can i configure a script that when I activate an iso that has 3dbd in it, it will activate my nvidia stereo scopic setting.
I have a shortcut on my desktop, whit the parameter /enable and one eith the parameter /enable
If I somehow can run these based on filenames it would be cool.
TIA

For Windows-Users this might be interesting - integration in AL needs testers

@Angelscry:
Recently I stumbled upon a tag <id></id> in the launchers.xml - could you explain to for what this is used? The problem is that I am building a program which should have the possibility to write the launchers.xml and I currently cannot say for what the tag is used. Is it necessary that the tag is present? Are the ids stored at some point other than in the launchers.xml?
