RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - mac1202 - 2017-02-01

Hi wintermute how to make AEL detect rom as multidisc, for example here :

Code:
ls Resident\ Evil\ \(Europe\)\ \(En,Fr,De,Es,It\)
'Resident Evil (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It) (Disc 1).gcz'  'Resident Evil (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It) (Disc 2).gcz'

How should I name this 2 files to make it work ?

You can use TOSEC or Trurip or Redump names. Have a look at this post for examples. As a bonus, AEL is intelligent enought to parse a Trurip name withouth the -. Both "Final Fantasy VII (EU) - (Disc 1 of 3).iso" and "Final Fantasy VII (EU) (Disc 1 of 3).iso" will work. As another bonus, the multidisc tag does not necessarily need to be the last tag. AEL will work OK with "Final Fantasy VII (EU) (Disc 1 of 3).iso" and "Final Fantasy VII (Disc 1 of 3) (EU).iso"

The multidisc support is not ready yet! I have finished the multidisc ROM filename parser and the scanner will print on the log it has found a multidisc ROM. However, the actual processing of the multidisc ROM is not coded yet. Having proper multidisc support in AEL is tricky because there are many small details here and there (like editing the multidisc ROMs in the set, creating a Favourite of a multidisc set, etc.) and it's going to take some time until it is working at 100%. The scanner and launcher should be working this weekend though. At launching time, if you have a multidisc ROM a select dialog with a list of ROMs in the multidisc set will open so you can choose which one to launch.

EDIT: if you want I can post here when the multidisc launcher is working. You can test the Github dev version and report errors so I will release a more polished 0.9.6. In any case, 0.9.6 will have complete multidisc support.

RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - mac1202 - 2017-02-01

yeah will be pleased to test it when it will be available.

RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - Wintermute0110 - 2017-02-02

@mac1202 OK, I did a quick and dirty implementation of the multidisc scanner/launcher but it should work. Follow this steps:

1) IMPORTANT! Make a backup of AEL databases in special://userdata/addon_data/plugin.program.advanced.emulator.launcher/ before you begin. You should backup all files and subdirectories.

2) Install latest AEL from Github.

3) Go to AEL addon settings >> Advanced tab >> Check/Update all databases... This will update all you Categories/Launchers/ROMs and Favourite ROMs and place the new metadata fields m_nplayers, m_esrb, disks and args_extra. If you don't do this step AEL will crash a lot. Collection ROMs, Most played ROMs and Recent Played ROMs are not updated yet, but for a first test it should be OK.

4) Open AEL. Browse to a launcher (or create a new one) with multidisc ROMs. Open the context menu and scan for ROMs.

5) When the scanner finishes, you should see the multidisc ROMs in the launcher. The name of the ROM set will be the same as any ROM in the set withouth the "(Disc x)" or "(Disc x of y") tag.

6) If you launch a multidisc ROM a select dialog will open and you can choose which ROM in the set to launch.

Enjoy and report back any issues you may have.

Nice thank you, no issue so far.

RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - KODser - 2017-02-02

Wintermute0110 already updated. One issue that I had. Kodi didin't notify me that the addon was updated. don't know if it is the addon's fault our kodi's.
I can see the new metadata fields. Are n players and esrb already working? for what console rooms and what site (mobygames, gamefaqs,...?)

RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - billyc666 - 2017-02-02

@wintermute, is the offline scrapers.xml files changing. ie extra fields. i thought over the weekend when i get some free time ill test your new updates and also create and try new offline scraper files if needed

The version in addon.xml is 0.9.5 so to Kodi is the same addon. What I do is to bump the version just before release. OK, for future releases I will change the version immediately to 0.9.6-alpha1 so you can now you are using a dev version.

If you upgraded the databases the new metadata fields should be there. You can check if you browse to a ROM >> Open context menu >> View ROM data. You should see the new files m_nplayers, m_esrb, disks, etc. And no... the new metadata fields are in the database but are not used yet. I have to code to generate the infolabels, modify the Edit ROM menu, etc.

Hi Billyc666. The new metadata fields are in the database but I have not updated the scrapers yet (offline and online). The new weeks/months I will be quite busy so maybe I won't have time to refurbish the offline scraper. In the mean time I will code less time consuming stuff like the multidisc support, full upgrade to Kodi Krypton, spend some time with Advanced MAME launcher, new launching mechanism, etc.

In any case, when I start building the brand new offline scraper with your databases I will contact you. Probably will need your help to short out the CVSs and/or XMLs.

Are the new flags working?
I implemented this and the indicator doesn't appear
PHP Code:
<value condition="stringcompare(ListItem.Property(AEL_InFav),InFav_True)">indicator/fav.png</value> 


EDIT - Can't open a collection with the new update

The new weeks/months I will be quite busy so maybe I won't have time to refurbish the offline scraper. In the mean time I will code less time consuming stuff like the multidisc support, full upgrade to Kodi Krypton, spend some time with Advanced MAME launcher, new launching mechanism, etc.

In any case, when I start building the brand new offline scraper with your databases I will contact you. Probably will need your help to short out the CVSs and/or XMLs.

cool let me know if you want me to make the scrapers, it wont take too long, all i need is a sample of what you want them to look like and i should be able to fix them up

RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - marcoooo - 2017-02-04

hello

i have a question not sure if it is possible ?

now i managed to get the cd's show up and they are spinning in the info dialog , but guess what the cartridge's are now also spinning Smile .

i can solve that by placing the cd image's in a artwork folder that isnt being used (i guess) but it would be nice that there will be a CD folder in the artwork part

Hi Marcoooo, excellent work with that view.

I think you should include a view setting on the side menu like this "Rotate CD/Cartridge". Users are able to rotate platforms that have CDs and deactivate the rotation for platforms with cartridges. Have a look at the Titan skin for an example of what I'm talking about.

I implemented this and the indicator doesn't appear
PHP Code:
<value condition="stringcompare(ListItem.Property(AEL_InFav),InFav_True)">indicator/fav.png</value> 

In standard launchers flags should be working OK. I have updated the DEBUG view. The icons are really bad and cheap but work. In virtual launchers there could be bugs (like flags not correctly set).

Yeah, Collection ROMs were not upgraded. It should be fixed now.

RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - marcoooo - 2017-02-04

the button in the side menu isnt going to work for me

because i would like the animation slide for the cartridge's

i now solved it by the placing the cd in the folder boxback (will not use it anyway ) and the cartridge's in the cartridge folder
