Angelscry Wrote:Advanced Launcher add-on do not works like Launcher add-on. After you have created a launcher you have to use the "Add-Items" option to automatically or manually add the roms to the launcher.

I have done this because after creating the launcher, and before add roms, users , most of the time want to setup the data and images scrappers or test if the launcher configuration is correct or not with 1 or 2 roms. Automatically scan a +1500 roms collection just after creating a launcher is not really a good way to proceed.

Angelscry Wrote:No, there is no video tutorial to explain each option and menu of Advanced Launcher, but there is a user guide : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3

Basically, if you want to manually rename an item, go into Item context Menu, select "Edit Item" option, then select "Modify Datas/Infos" option and finally select the "Modify Title" option. http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=7#p7

More specifically, if you want to automatically remove version information into a title (like renaming "Aladdin II (U)" to "Aladdin II"), before adding items, go to "Add-on Settings" menu, then select "Data & Infos" sub menu, then check the "Clean Items Titles" option. It will automatically do the job. http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=5#p5

I did exactly as the guide says and the youtube video, but all I get is a script error everytime I try to run the 2nd launcher Has anything changed about how to do this using v1.5.7?

In the log I get strange stuff like ...

This is baffling

• Only the second Advanced Launcher add-on give you an error, or both ?
  
• Does both advanced launcher add-ons are version 1.5.7 ?
  
• Which version of XBMC are you using ?

Aetius Wrote:Bit of a newbie question, but I was unable to find an answer via search.

I set up a SNES launcher, and imported my games, scraping from TheGamesDB. A game like for instance Super Mario World imported the wrong game (importing Super Mario All Stars + Super Mario World). I went to the context menu, and selected edit item. I was able to edit the info and select the right game, but when I went to change the fan art and thumbs, the only options it was giving me were for SMAS+SMW. When correcting a scraping error like that, how do I get the fanart and thumbs for the corrected title?

Thanks in advance.

Invincer Wrote:Yep, that's the Margo version (unfortunately it is not updated more frequently). Have not tried with any other version as i only have the one with PVR support.
