RE: Advanced Kodi Launcher - Game and Emulators frontend for Kodi - chrisism - 2022-11-23 (2022-11-23, 14:53)larsete Wrote: Ok I just realized that the skin is trying to load a different image. So while AKL loads "boxfront" for icon and thumbnail, Estuary tries to load "icon" which in the jsons is set to "DefaultProgram.png":I'll have to check on the icon field with Estuary. In the Arctic Zephyr skin I made it so that the boxfront is the default image when showing games. But that only applies to that skin. On collection level, opening up the context menu, you can go to 'Choose defaulty Asset/artwork..' which gives you the option to select the asset you want for Icon etc. However, you can not do this on a virtual collection like 'Most played'. I think that I do not copy the settings for Icon etc when adding the game to the most played. Could be because of boxfronts between systems are not all the same size, like between SNES boxes and Megadrive boxes. I will have to rethink that part and fix it with the next release.

RE: Advanced Kodi Launcher - Game and Emulators frontend for Kodi - larsete - 2022-11-24 Now that I'm reporting things, I've also seen these errors in the log: Code:
Might not be relevant, as I couldn't tie any problem to it, but just in case RE: Advanced Kodi Launcher - Game and Emulators frontend for Kodi - chrisism - 2022-11-24 You mean the "Invalid AEL_Content_Value" etc? That is just some AEL legacy I have to correctly fix. Not blocking though. So, I have fixed the add to favourites issue. Will continue on the rest. If you want to keep track of the progress you can use my Beta Repository and download AKL 1.2.0rc. I'll update progress here also. If you want to get the full package, wait until I release 1.2.0 stable. RE: Advanced Kodi Launcher - Game and Emulators frontend for Kodi - larsete - 2022-11-24 Sure! thank you again for your effort RE: Advanced Kodi Launcher - Game and Emulators frontend for Kodi - chrisism - 2022-11-25 Updated the RC in the beta repository again. Solved the delete collection issue and also fixed the mismapping of icon with boxfronts for the virtual collections. Currently busy adding PEGI rating support, once that is done I will release 1.2.0. RE: Advanced Kodi Launcher - Game and Emulators frontend for Kodi - chrisism - 2022-11-25 UPDATE: Release 1.2.0 Version 1.2.0 of AKL has been released and is now available on the stable repository. Changelog:
FOR ANDROID USERS: Launching external apps with Android is now possible again if you switch to Kodi Nexus. I have submitted changes to the Android API in Kodi for the Nexus release which enables the possibility to execute Android apps through the StartActivity Kodi method. AKL now makes full use of this functionality. This means:

It should be no problem if you have > Python 3.7. Can you give me some system specs (OS, kodi version etc.). If you have access to a shell/bash/cmd try to type in "python --version" or "python3 --version" and see what it says. If you are able, see if you can upgrade to a newer version of Python.

It looks like Kodi is then still not using the newer versions of Python. I need to check how Kodi actually uses Python on Ubuntu. It is common to have multiple Python versions on a OS/system, also it is common to create virtual environments for each python application. So perhaps that your Kodi instance is still using a old version of Python in its virtual env. Anybody else with some background knowledge here on the forum? I dont have a Ubuntu system with Kodi running here, so I will need to set it up to test it myself.(2022-11-27, 22:59)chrisism Wrote:Hey, thanks a lot.

RE: Advanced Kodi Launcher - Game and Emulators frontend for Kodi - Juppstein - 2022-11-28 Sorry to bother you, but I am well stumped on how to get to those views for the addon. I have installed the RC version of Zephyr Reloaded as well as the AKL version fro the beta repository, but the views are nowhere to be seen. The library is populated and the metadata is all there to be shown. I tried to add the views as a new menu entry but they are not available. Either I am too dense or something is not working as it should. Hope someone can help me here with that :/ RE: Advanced Kodi Launcher - Game and Emulators frontend for Kodi - chrisism - 2022-11-28 (2022-11-28, 21:22)Juppstein Wrote: Sorry to bother you, but I am well stumped on how to get to those views for the addon.

I bet you open up AKL through the programs menu/source type. If you open it up through the Game menu/source type it will give you all the desired options. So add the menu item from the games addons and not from the program addons.
