Beta AppLauncher Addon release 0.8.0 - The start menu for Kodi
#16
Alright latest update.
 - Options are updated.
 - The big fix for Windows. All settings work now in Windows. All Icons are loaded. (and i f%$§ing hate windows and its inconsitent behaviour with launching processes)
However this required a change of the internal data structure. This means please force refresh if you get an error. Remove and redo your custom entries.
I'm still looking into ways to get 256x256 icons from windows. Unfortunately it's not as straight forward as one would hope.

Version 0.6.0 release
Big news on the windows front. High quality icons are finally there. Force refresh to get them
Minimize and maximize option is here. There are two options now. min and max and close and restart. close and restart will over rule min and max.
Since i had to add some dependencies for the min max thing i moved over to a repo. Please install from there.

Last known bug for me is an encoding problem between powershell and python which leads to german umlaute are not shown properly.
This and an attemp to make it work with powershell 2.0 (which is standard in windows 7) should be last steps before i attemp to push to the official repo.

Ad damn it. I must have messed something up in the powershell part somehow. Didn't get that on my dev system on the weekend but now got an error as well on work PC. @fregrinz could you please check in the log if that is the error you get?
typerError argument value for setArt must be unicode or str. the log file is in c:\users\<yourusername>\appdata\roaming\kodi\kodi.log.

So i've done some fixes and changes. v0.7.8 is out

The setArt thing is fixed. It's a strange bug in powershells serialization which really inconsistantly appears. I'm expecting it now.
The zip for the repo is also fixed. This is really odd to me because the original zip worked on Krypton but not on Leia. I repackaged it exactly the same way as before and it worked on both.

The addon works now with powershell 2.0 so with windows 7 right out of the box.
I realized that with Leia the force refresh function sometimes loads forever i had to hit escape and start the plugin again. Since this doesn't happen with krypton and Leia is still in alpha i'm not gonna look into this for now.

I also added an option to configure the time to live for the cache and defaulted it to a year.
I've plans to rework this and use the cache differently so that force refresh isn't required anymore.

Hi,
sure
the plugin itself is here
https://github.com/Takezo36/repo/raw/mas...-0.7.8.zip
it depends on simple json and common plugin cache from the central repo and
https://github.com/Takezo36/repo/raw/mas...-0.1.6.zip
which depends on
https://github.com/Takezo36/repo/raw/mas...-0.2.3.zip
which depends on six which comes from the central repo

I can't reproduce your error unfortunately. I've tried it on windows 7 and 10 with krypton and leia (with fresh installs only) and it works. Really strange to me.
