If you do so skis with support for custom shortcuts on the home menu could have a way to launch common used launchers from the home menu. I know this is an old post, but I can't get this to work. I'm adding the exefile in Advanced Launcher, add it as a favorite. Then entering Custom homemenu settings, add my exefile which I added I as a favorite. It shows upp on the homescreen but when I try to launch it it enter the menubotton as a folder and all I can do is to press backbutton. Also using Alaska Revisited.

It works fine adding the Executable as a submenu for the Appmenu/folder or whatever it's called But adding a separate permanent button, not a submenubutton, just like the App, Movie, Music, Settings, Weatherbuttons. That doesn't work for me. But it caught me that maybe that's not possible? //Stellan RE: - Angelscry - 2012-09-16 (2012-09-16, 19:42)Blaxxor Wrote:No that's work : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=1204#p1204(2012-09-16, 19:34)Angelscry Wrote:(2012-09-16, 19:26)Blaxxor Wrote: That works just fine.

This is how it looks in my XBMC. Added the executable as favorite. The link works fine when adding it as a submenu for "App" so the link is Ok as far as I know. This it how it looks on my mainscreen when starting XBMC. And this is what happens when pressing the button XBMC Dharma (11.0) Advanced Launcher (1.7.6) Alaska Revisited (3.0.3) Really appreciating that you're trying to help me //Stellan RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2012-09-16 Ok, first, last version of Advanced Launcher is 1.9.1 not 1.7.6. I do not make any support on deprecated versions. So, make the update, please. Next, I'm not sure, but I think you have created a file launcher instead of a stand-alone launcher (I need the launchers.xml file content to confirm). So, when you start the launcher from XBMC it display the item directory (but here empty) and do not start the selected application.

I updated the launcher to the version you wanted (1.9.1) I downloaded the old one from within XBMC itself but it's always good to be updated Here's my launcher.xml file Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?> Please come back and tell me that I've done something stupid that's easy to fix //Stellan RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2012-09-16 (2012-09-16, 20:44)Blaxxor Wrote:Humm... content of launchers.xml file seems correct.

So, make the update, please. It actually works in Aeon Nox but not in Alaska Revisited. I started to suspect that that was the case. Too bad. What version of Alaska are you using? I don't feel like changing skin :/ Seems like Alaska is not updated any longer. //Stellan RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2012-09-16 Ok, so it's an Alaska related problem. I think because Alaska have not been updated since a long time, it is not fully compatible with Eden version of XBMC... or more precisely Alaska do not manage correctly favourites generated by XBMC. Personnaly, I do not use Alsaka anymore The only way I see now for your to correct this, is to manually edit files. Once you have created your favourite with Advanced Launcher, could you please post here the content of your xbmc/userdata/favourites.xml file to see how the generated favourites looks like?

Thanks for helping This is how my favorites.xml looks like. Code: <favourites> //Stellan RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2012-09-17 Ok.. favourites code is correct : Code: ... Now we have to see if the sub-menu entry automatically created by Alsaka is under the same form. Could you please now post here the content of your xbmc/userdata/guisettings.xml file? I'm nor sure you will be able to post here the entire content of the file, so use pastebin service to do this and post the corresponding URL here. |
