To configure AEL in Android devices have a look in this thread.

(2016-10-08, 00:15)xodiuser Wrote: Thanks! I tried to follow the thread you mentioned to setup a PSP rom launcher (PPSSPP). Because the "Add New Launcher" doesn't allow me to choose the emulator, I just choose a random file as the emulator and set everything else. Then I searched the addon data and found the emulator information is saved in Categories.xml file, and I modified the Application and parameter to something like "start -n org.ppsspp.ppsspp/.PpssppActivity -e org.ppsspp.ppsspp.Shortcuts "%rom%"" according the thread you mentioned. But I got an invalid command line error. Also I tried to setup a MAME launcher and scraped the data online, but got nothing at the end.

The RCB is dead, and its GUI is very out of dated. I really want to try AEL. Would you please give a step by step tutorial for Android regarding the popularity of KODI in Android? I think this would greatly improve the adoption of this addon. Thanks!

Thanks for your help

I need the full debug log as indicated in the first post. I need to see the Python version you are running (it is printed by AEL when choosing debug log level in advanced settings, and remember to turn Kodi debug log to OFF). Also, what Kodi version are you running? AEL is only supported in Jarvis and Krypton.

It is nice to see the rapid development of AEL. I am a long time user of the old AL with around 450 roms. I think I will switch to AEL soon probably along with Krypton. So I tested the addon again a little

(2016-10-08, 19:14)RazorFR Wrote: AEL import function is working well. No errors, but I loose the roms thumbnails in the process (launchers thumbs are ok, roms thumbs are not displayed).
Looking at imported data AEL launchers image are stored in s_thumbs (displaying fine) and rom thumbs in s_title (not displayed by my skin in Kodi). maybe there is something to look at.

(2016-10-08, 19:14)RazorFR Wrote: Other thing is the support for multiple assets (flyers, snapshots etc...) like Hyperspin. There are really little skins that support that, And in the past skin support for games / RCB or AL has not been the highest priority. So I hope you'll get support for that from some skilled skinners.

(2016-10-08, 19:14)RazorFR Wrote: Though I am not sure I will ever use all available assets for roms, I would be much interested in having a consistent game section in Kodi similar to video or music library. Is it something that will be possible with AEL?

Someting like
+ Titles
+ Recently added
+ Recently played
+ Genre
+ Studios
+ Years

+ PC platforms

(2016-10-08, 22:04)Wintermute0110 Wrote: That's maybe an issue with the skin. You will need to do some testing. Use the ROM context menu "Edit ROM" -- "Manage ROM..." -- "Choose default ROM artwork...". You should be able to link all the assets (titles, snaps, etc.) to any kind of official Kodi supported artwork (icon, fanart, poster, banner). Some skins display the poster on top of the thumb, even if the poster is the empty string ''. If so, make sure both poster and thumb point to the same asset (title I presume) that contains your imported thumbs.

(2016-10-08, 22:04)Wintermute0110 Wrote: Yes! It's not a secret by now there is something big AEL-related going on. Actually, TTBOMK Hyperspin only supports 4 kinds of assets plus trailers. AEL is now one of the most complete front-ends out there. AL and RCB had many limitations/bugs that limited their use to small collections. Those limitations have been mostly dropped by AEL. Hopefully, soon there will be some skins that fully support all AEL capabilities and I believe many people will think of Kodi as a serious front-end for general use, on par with Hyperspin, EmulationStation or GameEx.

(2016-10-08, 22:04)Wintermute0110 Wrote: You already have the virtual launchers "Browse by Title", "Browse by Genre", "Browse by Studio", "Browse by Year". ROM Collections is similar to Movie Sets, with the difference that you have to build up your collections/sets. If you want me to add a "Recently played" virtual launcher and maybe something like "Most played ROMs" with a counter of how many times you have played each ROMs that something I can do easily.

(2016-10-08, 22:04)Wintermute0110 Wrote: Keep in mind there are two kinds of AEL users: A) The ones that have small, carefully curated collections. Usually user A) also has all kind of artwork (maybe even downloaded by hand on a ROM by ROM basis) and B) Users that have full No-Intro collections (thousands of ROMs per launcher), that download whole collections of artwork, and maybe have 2 or 3 different launchers (emulators) pointing to the same ROM directory (for example, I have retroarch picodrive, retroarch genesis plus gx and MAME pointing to my genesis No-Intro ROMs). I have to keep happy to both kinds of users!

(2016-10-09, 06:06)Wayneright Wrote: I have been through the rigorous pleasure of setting up Hyperspin and the only easy part was skinning thanks to the Hypertheme.exe . I would like to use all the assets you have available to achieve at least one view in my skin on par or above a hyper spin wheel and collection view. I can do the basic fanarts trailer and thumbnail skinning but was curious on how to call things like logo into play. Are you using something like "$INFO[ListItem.Property(logo)" or is the only way to configure in the context menu and trick the code by placing logos in another folder like title snaps. Really like the AEL addon. Hard to get it to scrape whole selection for me but individual metadata always works.
