I have run nightlies of XBMC for years by now, and I can asure you, I'm not inexperienced. Guess I've been what you would call a nerd for decades by now.

In any way, I did as you told me. downloaded version 2,2,6, decompressed it an copied the folder to the XBMC\addons folder. Still it returned with the "dependencies" fail, and asked if I wanted to disable the plugin. Don't know what else to say?

Ok... Once you have decompressed ans copy/paste the new Advanced Launcher files into xbmc/addons directory, go into xbmc/addons/plugin.program.advanced.launcher edit the addon.xml file and replace line :

Code:

...
<import addon="xbmc.python" version="2.1"/>
...

by

Code:

...
<import addon="xbmc.python" version="2.7"/>
...

Been trying to add local images for MAME when using the "add items" function but it never picks anything up even though my images are named the same as my rom file, is there a secret trick I don't know about?

1. Check if you have indicated the right folder paths for the thumbs and fanart images into your launcher settings.
   
2. Check that the thumbs and fanart collecting mode options are both set to locale images.
   
3. Clear the item list
   
4. Perform a new automatic scan

1. Rollback XBMC to Frodo.
   
2. Install the original version (2.2.6) of Advanced Launcher.
   
3. Start XBMC, and reactivate Advanced Launcher into XBMC.
   
4. Close XBMC.
   
5. Modify the python version of the addon.xml file to 2.7.
   
6. Update XBMC to Gotham.
   
7. Restart XBMC.

I have to mostly manually do it all and even then the thumbs or fanart are not coming properly at times. I've made sure my scraper settings are correct under the add on etc. They're on automatic, collecting method is scrapers, Recursive scan is on. Import mode auto, Source is TheGamesDB. Also have tried different sources.

The launchers.xml file must be into : %appdata%\XBMC\userdata\addon_data\plugin.program.advanced.launcher

The problem seems to be related to the ComicVine API (http://www.comicvine.com/forums/api-developers-2334/anyone-else-having-trouble-lately-1534133/#2) which return 102 error message when making queries on volume of issues. And so it totally affects the Advanced Launcher scrapper.
