RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - Wintermute0110 - 2017-02-09

is it somehow possible to get the add rom function out off the context menu in a sub menu on the home screen
each console has his own button
in other words what is the command that is given while pressing the add rom button
I'm not sure if you will be able to launch this command from the skin. The command is somewhat complex:
Code:
For a launcher in the root category
URL = plugin://plugin.program.advanced.emulator.launcher/?com=ADD_ROMS&catID=root_category&launID=86eac3949e907ded3c4badedb3d27f70
For a launcher inside a category
URL = plugin://plugin.program.advanced.emulator.launcher/?com=ADD_ROMS&catID=981233949e907ded3c4badedb3d33214&launID=86eac3949e907ded3c4badedb3d27f70catID and launID are the MD5 fingerprints of the category and launcher, respectively (you can see them if you click on context menu, View Category/Launcher data).
TIP: if you set in AEL settings >> Advanced >> Log level to DEBUG AEL prints on the log all the URLs whenever is called. This may be useful for skinners.

(2017-02-08, 07:54)Wintermute0110 Wrote: @xavier00 Please stop trolling Advanced Emulator Launcher and ROM Collection Browser threads! Why you post exactly the same post on both threads? AEL and RCB are different addons and the usage is quite different (although both serve the same purpose).
I gave you instructions about how to report your problem but you haven't followed them. You didn't provide any meaningful information about your setup and most importantly, you didn't provide a debug log. I have not divinatory powers so if you don't let me help you I can't provide any help. How can I know what it causing the crash?
Finally, there is no need to extract any XML in AEL! Offline scrapers in AEL work out of the box and particularly for MAME. Are you confusing Advanced MAME Launcher with Advanced Emulator Launcher?
Sorry

Hi,
Thanks for the great plugin, I have it mostly working launching ROMs via retroarch under debian. The one issue I'm running into, though, is that after I quit retroarch, I can no longer control KODI from the keyboard. Hitting any of the usual KODI commands achieves nothing. This is especially important as my remote control is setup to issue keyboard commands. Any thoughts as to what I should look to?
Thanks again!

Hi,
Is it working on Kodi 17? I don't see it anymore in Kodi but didn't get any message telling me it has been removed because not compatible. I'm looking everywhere in Kodi's settings with no luck.
Thanks!

Ah! It was hidden at the bottom! I didn't check because there was no scroll bar displayed.
Thank you.

Sorry, I had one pint too many when I sent that, else I would have given you more info about my setup.
Anyhow, you're right to ask about the window manager; I don't normally run one in my setup, I just have the .xsession file set to launch Kodi standalone. Because you asked that, I swapped my system out to initially launch fluxbox, then manually launched kodi, and things work properly now. I exit AEL, and remote/keyboard work properly. Is there another work around to this, or is it a limitation of the X11/Xorg server?
Thanks again for your plugin, and your patience in dealing with us.

Me thinks someone bought a pre-loaded hard drive... and now wants it to work with Kodi and AEL.. for a more seemless interface. But since they bought a HD.. they do not have any real idea on how any of the things work
my 2 cents

Trying to install 0.9.5 on Kodi 17 Krypton and I get an error trying to install from the zip file every time. I'm on MacOS. Unfortunately, even turning on debug logging, there's no message in the log. Within the app, I get the generic "failed to install" popup; but, no other information is available.
I had installed 0.9.5 on a Kodi 17 beta and it was working at the time (early January). Tried this on two separate mac systems today with the same result. I'm trying to get ANY debug info.
Edit: I've tried both the tagged 0.9.5 release as well as cloning the current version of the repo with the same results.
RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - nalthien - 2017-02-12
Well apparently it was the MacOS Finder doing something odd with zip files. Created the zip via the command line and it worked fine.
Sorry for the confusion!

(2017-02-05, 22:44)KODser Wrote: I found the problem. The flag AEL_InFav only works if the labels are enable (at least this one, the other new ones I can't test). I had everything disable because I only want to show flags. the fav_startus flags works well with the labels disable. There must be something wrong on the code. the whole point of using flags is not using "ugly" labels on titles. I could have tested it sooner. When I saw your images with the labels enable it clicked in my brain- "what if..."
Thanks for the clearlogos addition
Best regards
Hi. Problem should be fixed in last Github commit. All flags should be functional now except the Parent/Clone flag. I have to refactor the Parent/Clone view mode with some ideas from AML and then I will code the Parent/Clone flag.

I have an issue with a default icon that I don't manage to modify.
So I've created both thumb and fanart for each console I'm using:
Once I proceed to the game I want to start, if it has a fanart and thumb, it looks like this:
If there is no fanart, the default one from the console is displayed:
But, if there is no thumb, instead of having the default one from the console displayed, I've an image of a mouse:
I don't understand why and would like to show instead the default thumb from the console, exactly like the fanart.
Thank you!
Should be fixed in last commit in Github. If you wanna try, remember to Check/Update your databases after installing 0.9.6~alpha from GIthub.
