My apologies for not posting more info initially, but since I'd always seen this message I thought it was a designed "feature" of Adv Launcher. As a note for anyone else who runs into this there's a little more to "cleaning up" the problem. What I was doing was using favorites to create custom main menu items in Aeon Nox using the following procedure:
Of course to fix the call, I had to add the launchers back as favorites, edit Favorites.xml, and then recreate the menu item. This all worked fine, but when I went to Advanced Launcher to remove the items from the favorites list, Advanced Launcher no longer knew that they were in the favorites list. So, my new procedure is:
This works great. Thanks again for the help. RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - bakito - 2013-02-12 thanks a lot angel! cheer RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Oopsjoppe - 2013-02-14 Hi! I have some problems with the Advanced Launcher. I have just created a simple .py script and want to be able to run it from within xbmc. I tried to add is as a stand alone launcher but i only get a: "Error: Script Failed!: addon.py" when I add it. What am I'm doing wrong? As application argument i have tried blank, "./" and ./ but nothing seems to help. The script works great if I run it through SSH so it's no problem with the script, I just cant get it to work from AL. Would appreciate any help! Thanks. RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - nekoarashi - 2013-02-14 Hello Angelscry, I am faced with an issue regarding my comic collection on my Ipad. Is there any way to potentially use Advanced launcher on Ipad xbmc? Now that the latest is jailbroke I was hoping that we would see a support for comic reading via xbmc on ipad, if not is there any plans in the roadmap for support of Advanced launcher on ipad or comic reading on ipad? Please let me know thank you =) RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2013-02-14 (2013-02-14, 03:54)Oopsjoppe Wrote: Hi!A python script is not an application. If you want to start this script you need to do it from the /usr/bin/python executable. So if you want to make a stand alone launcher configuration will be : application : /usr/bin/python arguments : "/path/to/your/python_script.py" (2013-02-14, 10:22)nekoarashi Wrote: I am faced with an issue regarding my comic collection on my Ipad.

Please let me know thank you =)I don't know. I do not have any iPad.... so it will be complicated for me to make a support on this specific platform. BTW, Advanced Launcher is made to start applications using command line. So... if you want to read comics on your iPad through XBMC/Advanced Launcher, you first need to found an iPad application that will launch comics using the command line. Is there any application that can do this on your iPad? RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - derlehmann - 2013-02-14 hey there, the last days i figure out how to run wine games on ubuntu 12.04 minimal and i want to share my experience. first i create an shellscript like Code: #!/bin/bash than create a launcher like this Code: <launcher> maybe its helpful for you ,because i am found not so much on the internet. thanks allot Angelscry for this wonderful plugin it should be merged to master RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Bigmonty - 2013-02-16 Hi, This is my first time using Advanced Launcher and I am encountering a problem. I have done a quick search but cant seem to fine a solution. I have setup Project 64 in Advanced Launcher 1.12.2 in Frodo. I have added 1 rom, Mario Kart 64 which I can run fine from Project 64 in windows. When I try to run it from Advanced Launcher it seems to open Project 64 then displays "attempt to open file failed" Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? When I try to open the zip file in windows with Project64 it works fine. EDIT - nevermind. I had it set as %roms% not "%roms%" RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - aNILEator - 2013-02-16 Hi again. 2 questions. Q1. Can I re-scan for local thumb and fanart? Somehow my GBC and GBA launchers got deleted. All ROMS and NFO's are in /GBA/ all art was saved to /GBA/art/ I changed addon settings to scrape locally but no thumb or fanart has been imported. Q2. Can another instance of Advanced Launcher get auto updated? I used a tutorial to duplicate advanced launcher (I want to keep separate 'libraries' one for games one for comics) Can my duplicate launcher get auto-updated? currently it's at 1.12.0 not 1.12.2 RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - vshih813 - 2013-02-16 Hello, I'm new to xbmc and I tried to set up advanced launcher to launch WMC Live TV with a .lnk file. Everything seems to work except that when I exit WMC and return to xbmc it will freeze the first time sound is played (when I start a movie or when browsing tv shows and the theme music tries to play through TVtunes addon). This happens when I have audio set to DirectSound. When I switch to WASAPI, sometimes WMC will launch just fine but sometimes I get an error saying "Files needed to display video are not installed or are not working correctly. Restart Windows Media Center or restart the computer". When I return to xbmc, sometimes everything is fine and other times I will lose sound and/or freeze. Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2013-02-17 (2013-02-16, 18:07)aNILEator Wrote: Q1. Can I re-scan for local thumb and fanart?Yes, go into Advanced Launcher settings, and for Thumbs and Fanarts menus, set "Collecting method" option to "Local Images". Then Advanced Launcher will automatically get images where they are supposed to be. (2013-02-16, 18:07)aNILEator Wrote: Somehow my GBC and GBA launchers got deleted.

Go into Advanced Launcher settings, then Backup/Debug menu, select Load a backup launchers.xml file. You will have a list of launchers.xml files named like this : YYYMMDD-HHMMSS-MILLIS-launchers.xml. Slectec the one corresponding to a date before your GBC and GBA launcherr was deleted. (2013-02-16, 18:07)aNILEator Wrote: Q2. Can another instance of Advanced Launcher get auto updated?Unfortunately not. Only the original instance will be automatically updated. You need to copy/paste the content of your xbmc/addons/plugin.program.advanced.launcher folder into the duplicated folder and reedit manualy the necessary files. RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - deh2k7 - 2013-02-17 what is the correct artwork naming convention for Adavnced Launcher in Frodo? Has this changed? Can we use Frodo-compliant naming conventions like: MyGameName.iso MyGameName.nfo MyGameName-poster.jpg MyGameName-fanart.jpg RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2013-02-17 (2013-02-17, 22:41)deh2k7 Wrote: what is the correct artwork naming convention for Adavnced Launcher in Frodo? Has this changed?Naming convention is : MyGameName.iso MyGameName.nfo MyGameName_thumb.jpg MyGameName_fanart.jpg if thumbs and fanarts images are into the same directory. If thumbs and fanarts are into differents directories, they must just be named : MyGameName.jpg |
