Kodi addon for LaunchBox
CoinTos replied to CoinTos's topic in Third-Party Applications and Plugins (Released)
Are you selecting the LaunchBox base directory (ie. <drive>:\<path to>\Launchbox\) in the setting of the addon? Everything still works fine with Kodi 21 as I just updated and double checked so I am guessing the LaunchBox folder path is wrong in the addon settings. -
It doesn't like the window size parameters it was given, which implies something in Kodi has changed and AutoHotkey isn't detecting what it needs to detect to get size and position information, I am guessing you have a multi monitor setup. If you check the logs in Kodi's userdata/addon_data/script.launchbox.launcher/scripts folder it will show either invalid or blank where numbers should be for "Loading blank gui" info. If post a sanitized launcher log it will give me more information. I will try and take a look at it more this weekend.

All you have to do is select the LaunchBox Folder field in the addon's settings under General and browse to the LaunchBox base folder ie. C:\Users\SomeUser\LaunchBox\ then select ok. You do not need to add BigBox.exe to the LaunchBox Folder location field, the addon adds the BigBox.exe or LaunchBox.exe (depending on mode selected) to the folder specified in the addon's settings and check if the exe (of the mode selected) exists in the previously specified folder, if not the addon produces that error.

The zip isn't supposed to be extracted or ran from LaunchBox directory. To install in Kodi, you need to install from zip. See Install from Zip on the Kodi wiki for how to. After which you run the addon from Kodi's Addons Menu and set the settings in addon's config to your liking while making sure LaunchBox's base directory location is set in Launchbox folder field.

Kodi addon for LaunchBox
CoinTos replied to CoinTos's topic in Third-Party Applications and Plugins (Released)
CHANGES in 1.6.0: - Add support for LaunchBox and BigBox modes - Kodi 19+ support only - Detect which monitor has Kodi on it and moves LaunchBox to it - A ton of bug fixes KNOWN ISSUES: - The upgrade support in this addon's Autohotkey script will not work properly with the auto download background option for LaunchBox enabled. Current workaround is to remove the check mark from the "Automatically Download Updates in the Background" box in LaunchBox's Options under the Updates section. - Taskbar will flash on Kodi Windows Store version (UWA). Current workaround is to switch to Kodi non-UWA or to minimize effects, enable hide task bar in advance options, remove Cortana search bar and change taskbar to black. - Due to windows security restriction on SMB shares over IP (eg. \\192.168.1.1\shared-folder\), the addon will produce an error saying it is not supported. Current workaround is to enable SMB fix in Advance settings to replace IP with supplied server name or enable SMBv1 on server and computer to allow NetBIOS name resolutions in Kodi. RELEASE NOTICE: This release moves the addon to only Kodi 19+ and dropping support for all previous Kodi versions. It also adds support for LaunchBox (Free or Premium) and BigBox modes as well as multi monitor detection. -
I think I have fixed everything you have listed here. Try this one and if it still loads on the first monitor when Kodi is full screen on the second, please post the launcher's script log because I will be really confused on why it's not working. I have a tri-monitor setup and I have no issues on any of the monitors with Kodi loading on them fullscreen and moving LaunchBox to that monitor which is displaying Kodi. The maximizing of Kodi when Kodi was minimize while in window mode is fixed as well, that was just missed by me because LaunchBox ahk script is based on my BigBox ahk script which is for a 10ft setup hence the maximize on reload instead of restore. Also, the "Delete and update userdata scripts on next run" will turn off after every run of the addon if you turned on before hand, as it's purpose is to remove the ahk files and autohotkey.exe and recopy the files from the currently installed addon. This allows you to rule out outdated script files and have the ones from the currently installed addon and current autohotkey.exe from LaunchBox copied into the userdata folder. Outside of this testing, normally the addon will ask you if you want to update the userdata's copy of the scripts if the addon's version is newer than them so turning that option on normally isn't necessary. So to some up Beta 7 below: I rewrote the whole handling again including LaunchBox update handling.

I don't know what pop up window it is detecting so here's another beta that looks only for the one LaunchBox would create and moves it to the monitor Kodi was running on, after it is closed it will move LaunchBox to that monitor. Make sure Kodi is completely in the monitor you want LaunchBox to move to then launch the addon or set Kodi to load up in fullscreen to wanted monitor in Kodi's Display settings,

So on your main monitor is there a pop up asking you if you want to upgrade LaunchBox? It's waiting for that be closed before continuing. If you don't care about upgrades or need to stick on one specific version, please disable upgrade checks in LaunchBox's options. Also, is your Kodi running in windowed mode? The script is detecting the left top corner of Kodi is in the first monitor. Go to your Kodi Settings and set it to start on your preferred monitor or move it completely into the second monitor.

Kodi addon for LaunchBox 1.6.0~beta4 Changes since beta 3: - Multimonitor detection added for both LaunchBox and Bigbox, it will move LaunchBox to match where Kodi is but for BigBox, you will have to have the screen set in it's setting menu. - Fixed the black gui's window size to not bleed on to other monitors Hopefully, this will be the last beta and I can release it as a ton of time was spend on coding, testing and debugging this.

Current beta is posted on the Testing Thread, won't have a final release till this weekend. -
I always recommend updating to the latest release that I put out as I usually found a mistake I made and fixed it. 🙂 As for the starting on the same screen as Kodi, it's possible and I will look into it when I get some time, probably by this weekend. Use beta 3 for now as it is basically what I was planning to release if nobody else that tried it finds an issue and I will post another test file if I get something sensible for you request.
