Yes, Windows 8 here as well Did you encounter the same issue as I did? No platforms listed in "Select the Platform" prompt?

Stupid Windows 8! I got it to work. The problem must be related to something else. The fact that Advanced Launcher cannot display the platform list could be related to the fact that Advanced Launcher is not able to access or open the C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\plugin.program.advanced.launcher\resources\scrapers\gamesys file. Now, a reason why you could not have acces to this file could be that the actual user of XBMC do not have the right to acces the AppData directory. If could be a Windows rights limitation or an Antiviral protection. Does the actual XBMC user can open the Windows C:\Users\[username]\AppData\ folder? Does the XBMC user and the Windows user are the same? RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - bjornvil - 2014-02-26 I figured out what the problem was... My name has Icelandic characters in it (รถ) and for some reason having the Appdata in my user folder didn't work. I moved the XBMC installation to C:\XBMC and run as portable (-p) so all the data is kept in the XBMC folder RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - RazorFR - 2014-02-28 Hi Angel, With the latest version 2.2.7. I get a message "Remote Share" Could not connect to network server. It happens only on exiting the programs (steam, emulators ...) I had to roll back to 2.2.0 to get rid of this message. Any clue, how I can get rid of that message. I am using Gotham Alpha 6, And here below an example of the way all my launchers are set up <launcher> <id>2f8bc5d5610dbca3aa478dd75092d39d</id> <name>Steam Big Picture</name> <category>bdba1b965b306542cbed74346dd1d031</category> <application>D:\My Xbmc Emulators\Windows Games\Emulator\Steam Big Picture Mode.exe</application> <args></args> <rompath></rompath> <thumbpath>D:\My Xbmc Emulators\Windows Games\Posters\</thumbpath> <fanartpath>D:\My Xbmc Emulators\Windows Games\Fanarts\</fanartpath> <trailerpath></trailerpath> <custompath>C:\</custompath> <romext></romext> <platform>PC</platform> <thumb>D:\My Xbmc Emulators\Windows Games\pcengine.png</thumb> <fanart>D:\My Xbmc Emulators\Windows Games\Fanarts\Steam Big Picture Mode-fanart.jpg</fanart> <genre>Video Game Platform</genre> <release>2012</release> <publisher>Valve</publisher> <launcherplot>Big picture mode, offering simple, easy-to-read navigation designed specifically for TV.

Is it an official Steam executable or a compiled script (like autoit)? RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - RazorFR - 2014-02-28 Hi Angel, For steam, that is indeed a AutoHotKey compiled Script.

Each plane is armed with a distinct special weapon and is individually rated in the following three categories: speed, homing, and power. The eight-way joystick is used to guide your plane, while individual buttons allow you to fire your default weapon, perform an evasive loop, and release bombs. Holding down the fire button lets you charge a special homing attack, while bombs can be powered-up to four levels. Engage rival planes, helicopters, tanks, submarines, and more while advancing toward each stage's climactic boss battle.

RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - RazorFR - 2014-03-01 Wow That was quick. Many thanks for the support RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - torran1 - 2014-03-01 Hi I seem to be having a problem with the pc games INK shortcuts. Every time i launch one of the shortcuts from advanced launcher it opens the same game regardless of which game i have chosen. Has anyone else come across this and may perhaps have a possible solution?
