More information and discussion about AKL can be found here on the kodi forum thread. Most of the things discussed or mentioned in the AEL thread will also apply for AKL.Ī special thanks to Wintermute0110 making AEL possible. I will keep on working together with Wintermute0110 on AEL and AKL and let both addons benefit from new things we add or discover. Meaning you can import and export your data from and to AEL if needed.
The goal still remains that the functionality and data will be as closely related and interchangeable as possible with AEL. So not launcher based collections, but simply collections with multiple launchers, scanners and scrapers. This means we can associate multiple launchers to whole collections and multiple scanners per collections, so you basically get multi-directory support. So as a result AKL can support more and different types of launchers, scanners and scrapers.Īnother benefit is that instead of having a launcher as the center entity, we now use collections of ROMs/games to build everything around. The main goal of AKL was to separate the launching, scanning and scraping logic to separate plugins so that it is more open to add more of these components to the addon, with an extra benefit that it is easier to maintain the core addon without doing major releases and changes. I already was helping out and adding features to AEL, but with too many different features and alternative solutions we like to make it a bit more clear and make sure both versions can be stable. This is a friendly-ish fork of the original AEL version.
So one launcher addon to support all support them all. Now you don't have to build a complete launcher addon, simply implement the plugin and hook it up in AKL. Of course, simply launching games with your favorite emulator or application is supported.īasically the possibilities are endless since you can easily extend AKL with your own plugins to add your type of launcher. Also you can do ROM auditing for No-Intro ROMs using No-Intro or Redump XML DAT files (WiP). There is support for scrapping ROM metadata and artwork from local disks or many different sources online. Plugins are available for scanning your ROMs from different locations on your disks or from online sources like your steam library. It is a modulair build with support for many plugins to either launch, scan or scrape ROMs and games from your favourite source. AKL is a multi-emulator front-end and general application launcher for Kodi, based and build upon AEL (Advanced Emulator Launcher).
Advanced Kodi Launcher or AKL in short is another iteration of the launcher addons for Kodi.
