RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - zachmorris - 2018-07-13
I use:
python:
current_OS = xbmc.getInfoLabel('System.OSVersionInfo')
xbmc.log(msg='IAGL: OS found - %(current_OS)s' % {'current_OS': current_OS}, level=xbmc.LOGDEBUG)
if 'OS X' in current_OS:
self.handle.setSetting(id='iagl_external_user_external_env',value='OSX')
xbmc.log(msg='IAGL: External Launch Environment auto selected to OSX', level=xbmc.LOGDEBUG)
elif 'Windows' in current_OS:
self.handle.setSetting(id='iagl_external_user_external_env',value='Windows')
xbmc.log(msg='IAGL: External Launch Environment auto selected to Windows', level=xbmc.LOGDEBUG)
elif 'Android' in current_OS:
self.handle.setSetting(id='iagl_external_user_external_env',value='Android')
xbmc.log(msg='IAGL: External Launch Environment auto selected to Windows', level=xbmc.LOGDEBUG)
elif 'Linux' in current_OS:
self.handle.setSetting(id='iagl_external_user_external_env',value='Linux/Kodibuntu')
xbmc.log(msg='IAGL: External Launch Environment auto selected to Linux/Kodibuntu', level=xbmc.LOGDEBUG)
else:
xbmc.log(msg='IAGL: External Launch Environment is unknown', level=xbmc.LOGDEBUG)
I've looked at this and I believe with Android 8 permission restrictions there are two options:
1) A change in Kodi that enables the correct permissions (so Kodi's python interpreter has permissions to make the calls just as it was before) and/or a change in StartAndroidActivity that allows for all the extras in the intents required for launching various apps
2) Interfacing with android ADB somehow to pass the calls from Kodi/python to Android. This isn't ideal because the user would have to enable ADB in their OS in order for this to work.

And all the commands gave me issues or nothing, except .... the os.system(..) as you mentioned @malte .
At least it started Retroarch with me. Still have to check if all the parameters still work.
@Wintermute0110 I'll go and make a branch for this, to separate it from the linux calls and test it out further. Looks like we have a winner.
RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - coverflow_rider - 2018-07-15
Question: Are there any versions of Advanced Launcher or any skins/themes that are currently available to support video snaps in Kodi (ala Rom Collection Browser or Attract Mode)?
Thanks!

So, this is a clean run with that block of test code. I added an altered original subprocess.call before that. I did not open Retroarch beforehand and I do not have my Shield rooted.
As you see the last call actual executes and I can confirm that it indeed opened up Retroarch with the actual rom.
Also the launcher.log file which all the stdout is written to is completly empty. Ofcourse os.system does not have an option for stdout parameters anyway.
RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - chrisism - 2018-07-18
@marcoooo although the pullrequest is ready and the fix for Android can be merged, if you cannot wait untill its in the main repo you can already test it if this fix works for you.
You can download it from https://github.com/chrisism/plugin.program.advanced.emulator.launcher/tree/hotfix/android_v8_system_call_issue
RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - Wintermute0110 - 2018-07-18
Thank you very much @chrisism for the patch and everybody for their help. I'm very busy with RL right now but will release a patched 0.9.8 ASAP. Also, when I had time I will investigate the code of the Python standard library to track down the problem further.

Make sure "Render trailers" is ON in the addon settings. I think is ON by default but it doesn't hurt to check it.
Thanks!

Hello !
Screenscaper support is still planned for 0.9.8 release ?

Screenscraper support is in the TODO list and presumably will be done for 0.10.0. Release 0.10.0 will be a major upgrade of AEL with a lot of new stuff. About the release date for 0.10.0 ... I don't know. Several months at least.

Hello,
I am using the latest version 0.9.7 but when I launch the game either kodi minimizes and never maximizes after the game is finished or if I set it to borlderless fullscreen mode the input from the controller is passed to both the game and kodi.
Is this a known bug ?
I am launching windows games (steam and non steam)
