Yes, I only use HDMI for audio output. I have not tested analog or optical audio out.

RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - bakito - 2013-02-05 That s ok ! I found my old post! It was winwait then winactive with xbmc as window name! Now it work! Well so far! Thanks! Cheers RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - hunterx - 2013-02-06 I have no idea what is going on with my Advanced Launcher. I am running the latest version, and just as I was manually updating images to a game I started getting python errors...then I went back to the Advanced Launcher main screen and all of my launchers were gone. http://pastebin.com/Aq7F7z3L RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2013-02-06 Version 1.11.2: This new version of Advanced Launcher attempt again to fix the problem of launchers.xml file corruption (empty saved file) during thumbs and image scraping. It add new error images when the scraping is not possible (timeout/no images found) and add a launchers.xml file statut check before read/write it. But here again, I'm not sure the problem is really fixed. Changelog:

This is actually a bug into Advanced Launcher that I try to fix... RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - bakito - 2013-02-06 (2012-08-21, 10:17)bakito Wrote: hello angel hello angel, some times ago I posted about launcher that disapeared, I don't know if that help but I quote that post ( and I think there are some others maybe some with log, I don't remember ) about this problem since many user have come up with the same problem recently...just to say it's not a new problem so maybe their something hiding in the code for a long time and not especialy in the last version of your ( great ) add on, if I'm correct I got this problem with eden but not with darma, since then I had this bug again ( not that not all my launcher disapear but just some of them ) but now I make regulary back up of my launcher.xml to avoid this problem, maybe a temporaly fix would be to make an automatic copy of the old launcher before anything is change to the current one ,like launcher.old, with an option to put it back if their was a problem...maybe it's silly, I don't know...anyway I hope it help ( even a little) cheers RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2013-02-06 (2013-02-06, 14:35)bakito Wrote:No, no... that's not a silly idea. Actually I'm trying to see what is going wrong, trying to fix any possible errors. My problem actually is that the bug do not occurs at any time, and it is complicated to reproduce it. I can spend more than 1 hour, editing/deleting/creating/scraping launcher and items without any problem... and suddenly... the content of the launchers. xml file it empty. But even with the XBMC debug mode activated, I cannot see any reported error. The error that everybody report me actually is due to the fact that the launchers.xml file is empty... The error message is not the cause, but the consequence.(2012-08-21, 10:17)bakito Wrote: hello angel So, the idea to make backup of the launchers.xml file once it is modified have reach my mind. I think that's what I'm going to work on now. It will avoid user to completely lost their data, and give me time to definitively fix this bug. I'm really sorry for all the problem bring by this bug. If any of you have an idea what could happen... an help will be really welcome. RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - malte - 2013-02-06 I don't really think that it is related but the difficulty to reproduce this issue reminded me of an issue that I have in RCB. Maybe the problem only occurs if saving the file is done at the same time as some other process in XBMC is working. Maybe some service addons, widgets, pvr tasks, anything like this. That would explain why it only happens every x times. Just an idea. If you are interested, the RCB issue is described here. Although I don't think it is the same actuator. RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - bakito - 2013-02-06 can this be related to skin.widget that check our library some times?

The Advanced Launcher autobackup feature is actually functional. I just Have to add some options to control it. RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2013-02-07 Version 1.12.0: Since I do not clearly understand why the launchers.xml file was randomly deleted, this new version of Advanced Launcher add autobackup support. This option is activated by default but could always be desactivated from the Advanced Launcher settings menu. The autobackup feature automatically make a backup of the launchers.xml file each time you add/delete/edit a launcher or an item. You have the possibility to define the number of backup file to be saved, from 5 to 100 (default 10). Finally you have an option to load directly from Advanced Launcher any backuped launchers.xml.

RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - aNILEator - 2013-02-07 Hey angel, thanks for looking into that disappearing launchers bug, hit me a few times sadly. Quick question. Anyway to make a link to load from CD for emulators? eg It's all well and good having ePSXe 1.8.0 loading a cue (or Bin if it fails on cue) but some games work better when on disc (or mounted) and It'd be great to have 'Load CD' shortcut in the rom list. A good example being Tomb Raider 1+2, couldn't get it to play from hard drive, works fine from my actual disc. ePSXe loads from disc by default with just the -nogui argument, but I'm sure other system emulators have other options if load from cd drive is supported. So anyway to override the launcher default arguments options? Failing that I guess some form of script to mount a .cue first then load that virtual drive into the emulator RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2013-02-07 (2013-02-07, 14:59)aNILEator Wrote: Hey angel, thanks for looking into that disappearing launchers bug, hit me a few times sadly.I know.... I'm into the same boat than you. I try my possible to fix the problem. But the more I try, the more I starting to think that the problem come from XBMC itself and not from the Advanced Launcher code. (2013-02-07, 14:59)aNILEator Wrote: Quick question.You just have to create a a .bat or autoit script that will automatically mount the CD image file before starting the emulator and that will unmout it once the emulator is closed. Here is a script example : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=7 RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - locoguano - 2013-02-08 Purely a cosmetic concern here... My wife likes Windows Media Center, so (within Aeon Nox) I created a custom button that launches to the WMC guide, no splash. When I click the button, XBMC switches to windowed mode, then back to full screen, the WMC launches. Is there some setting that I need to change to skip the first couple steps and just launch WMC over XBMC? Just looking for a smoother transition. p.s. I tried using "full screen window" instead of true full screen. It did the same thing. RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - z-vap - 2013-02-08 Hey guys. Hope you can help me. I wanted to get completely off of 7MC and use XBMC. Now that Frodo is released I have integrated LiveTV. Next thing was me integrating the HuluDesktop, as I don't really like the functionality of the xbmc hulu app. One thing I did when I was on Eden, was I created a shortcut that pointed to a autohotkey launcher that would hide and freeze xbmc then launch my app. Once I exited the app, then it would unhide and unfreeze xbmc. I had integrated the Kylo browser with this method and, now with Frodo out, was just about to do it with HuluDesktop. However now I noticed that the the kylo and hulu won't launch anymore. The shortcuts still work, if I click them with my mouse, but ADVLauncher throws an error if I choose them there. Here's my xbmc.log Here's my Launcher.xml Here's my post on how to integrate the autohotkey with a shortcut. Thanks for any help |
