RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - Wintermute0110 - 2016-11-14
@Rufoo Thanks a lot for you excellent WIP views
I have updated the first post to include these new teasers.@Everyone I will be quite busy with real life for the next couple of weeks. I will read all you bug reports, feature requests and comments in due time.
RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - foleyjo - 2016-11-14
Thanks Rufoo.
I'll start on doing some conversions to get my sid files to mp4.
RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - bite_your_idols - 2016-11-17
One missing feature from AdvancedLauncher is the option to launch into default category if selected in settings. With that option, when AL started you go into emulators/games list instead of the start screen and then select the category.
Also I would like to tell to Estuary users that I have make a couple of modifications in official addon, the important here is that I replaced "Radio" section with "Games" button in home menu. This button launches Advanced Emulator Launcher addon
and can be toggled in skin settings.
If anybody wants to try it: https://github.com/bite-your-idols/Gamestarter-Pi/raw/master/packages/skin.estuary.zip

Well following up on that from bite_your_idols. If you want the same experience and more, but not estuary, hold on a little longer and keep an eye out on Rufoo, Wintermute and others their work. Good things will come.

What do you think?
Yes!! This sounds like a great idea, hope it can get added eventually.
RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - UKVaper - 2016-11-17
Is it possible to manually create the .nfo's from a mame xml so that names that are shown are game names and not rom names? I have all MAME assests that I need from a hyperspin install, the only missing piece is the rom name being displayed instead of the friendlier game name.
RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - marcoooo - 2016-11-17
i have used rom collector browser to create all the nfo's for mame with this method
https://github.com/anarcat/romcollectionbrowser/wiki/HowToAddMAMEOffline
and these nfo's are beside the rom zip's and are being nicly used by advanced emulator launcher
and in the nfo the names are now correct and are showing also correct
<title>Marvel vs. Capcom - Clash of Super Heroes</title>

AEL includes support for MAME ROMs with the offline scraper out of the box. In AEL settings make sure option Use filename instead is not check for MAME!
RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - marcoooo - 2016-11-17

There is no "default" category in AEL. The Emulators initial category is a normal category created the first time the addon is created, and will have a different fingerprint (ID) on every setup. You can create both standalone and ROM launchers in the addon root if you wish and get rid of the Emulators category.

You don't need to do that, AEL supports MAME metadata (except plot) out of the box. Before creating your launchers, go to AEL settings, in ROM scanner tab make sure "Ignore ROM scraped title (Use filename instead)" is NOT CHECKED. When creating your launcher, make sure you select "MAME" as the platform. All MAME ROMs will have correct metadata and displayed name will be official MAME full length name. For No-Intro ROMs I recommend to check the option "Ignore ROM scraped title", so you won't miss the tags, e.g., (Europe) (Rev A) etc.

That's weird... Jarvis ships with Python 2.7 and the collections module is part of Python 2.7. Are you using standard Kodi? Which platform? Also, can you activate AEL debug (but not Kodi debug) as indicated in first post and provide a complete log? (Just do some operations with AEL, like browsing, and launch something)
By the way... very soon (maybe version 0.9.6) both AEL and AML will work on Krypton and up ONLY. Kodi developers were graciously enough to include a new feature that will improve AEL display of image dialogs a lot and I'm in the process of updating the code.
