RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - ajr30 - 2014-03-20 (2014-03-20, 09:12)xaph Wrote: "-fullscreen" where you write your commands for reading the roms. Works like a charm for meI'll try this just in case the settings are changed somehow. Hopefully it will force it into fullscreen at all times.

You actual probleme is linked to the default video parameter (-v 22) that may not be the good one for your video settings. This worked perfectly. I can't believe I didn't think about the argument passing to the emulator. Thanks so much. RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Headshrinker - 2014-03-24 hello everyone I got a question. I got a htpc based on ubuntu 12.04 LTS minimal, installed with Bram77 install script. I'd like to use photorec on this server because I need to restore some vids on one of the HDD. Can I use advanced launcher to run photorec ? how ? Thx a lot RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2014-03-24 (2014-03-24, 20:59)Headshrinker Wrote: hello everyoneYes, you can use Advanced Launcher to start photorec. Install photorec on your HTPC, then, with Advanced Launcher, create a stand alone launcher pointing to start photorec into a terminal. RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Aatos - 2014-03-24 Hello! First of all, huge thanks Angelscry for all your hard work on Advanced launcher. It is a-ma-zing. Thanks to the Advanced Launcher, I've been able to take XBMC pretty far from it's original use: my aim is to use it as (solely) game-focused very visual database and discovery tool for my (mainly) physical game collection, constantly running on my pc on my game room screen. That means basicly substituting rom launching (mostly) with launching an image that will only display the location of the physical cartridge on the shelf & instructions to select the right channel/system, and besides that only using the PC to launch games that are actual pc games. Anyway, as I said, my main desire is to be able to "discover" the games via the system, not launch them, meaning I want to be able to list them based on various criteria (genre, system, series), display information etc. First issue I ran into was that besides being able to make searches based on genres (which are, luckily, self-definable), there was no room/field for series tag, which in my opinion is crucial in order to appreciate the history and connections of many many games. From previous discussions I understood it isn't possible/viable though to add a series field to the data, so via a creative use of the language files I repurposed the publisher field to be my series tag. This solution will work great for me especially with the skin I chose, since it doesn't show publisher/"series" info at all, but it's still searchable. Here is where I had my first question: It's awesome and very supportive for my needs that one can make a launcher from the search string, but is it possible to do a launcher that would, instead of opening a spesific search (e.g. genre "Action") open the search itself, ie. show a list of all the genres? Not wanting to create separate launchers for all the dozens and dozens of series, this would be a great, dynamic solution, but I couldn't so far find how this could be done?

Thx a lot, I will test tonight RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - qzem - 2014-03-31 I have little problem, when using advance launcher to run pc game from xbmc. My screen resolution or desktop resolution is set to 1920x1080 but my game resouliton is lower, and when I run the game from xbmc, and then exit the game back to xbmc, the xbmc is resized, the resoultion is changed to the one in game. I have to restart xbmc to get normal resolution back. Is there any soultion for this, or workaround, so that I don't need to restart xbmc every time I finished playing games?

I will try this tonight. EDIT: This doesn't work for me, I must do some more research maybe. I am not sure about this part "\\.\DISPLAY1", is this universal, or do I need to find out what too put here as display. I have laptop connected to tv, and I have TV enabled as primary display. RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Bazzu85 - 2014-04-01 Hi all, I've founded a problem launching ps2 games with advanced launcher.. In wiki page ther're istruction for make a usefull AutoIt script to suspend xbmc, activate pcsx2 and more.. In launching options there are --nogui and --fullscreen.. With this options I notced that it do always a fast start.. this cause that some games starts with wrong language (my bios is Italian but some games starts in english) To resolve you must make a full start of the game.. the options to set in autoit script is --fullboot bye RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2014-04-02 (2014-04-01, 23:06)Bazzu85 Wrote: Hi all,Which version of PCSX2 are you using? Do you simply replace --nogui --fullscreen parameter by --fullboot of just add the --fullboot parameter to the command line?

RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - teeedubb - 2014-04-06 Angelscry, do you know if its possible to import MAME roms using the method described in the link below with AL? http://code.google.com/p/romcollectionbrowser/wiki/HowToAddMAMEOffline Also, to add to your your post here, the jsonrpc command is different for windows: Code: curl.exe -i -X POST -d "{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"method\": \"GUI.ActivateWindow\", \"params\": { \"window\": \"video\", \"parameters\": [ \"plugin://plugin.program.advanced.launcher?CATEGORY\" ] }, \"id\": 1 }" -H "content-type: application/json;" http://localhost:8080/jsonrpc Curl for windows can be found in the wiki enty here: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Remotely_update_library EDIT: using the window type video in the above command cause AL to be shown as video addon, which has watched status boxes and changes view types. Changing video to programs will launch AL as a program addon. |
