I'm stuck, i choose import and nothing happens.

And if i choose to add a rom collection i can only brose my cd-rom and a usb pendrive, i don't see any of my local drives Huh

Try adding the folders to XBMC's file manager, then they should show up.

I also have this problem not only with rom collection but also advanced launcher, the problem happens when you have a mounted drive for exemple "daemon tools", the physical disk in driver cd/dvd/bd or thumb drive in usb.
I suggest remove any pendrive the pc, take out the disk drivers in the cd / dvd / bd and if have virtual driver, dismount.


Malte, is there any way to hide the extension inside zip files in this list?
I use it to play games translated, that is for pure aesthetics.

Tomkun Wrote:Is it possible to have %CRC% as a tag? I ask because I can only find some artwork named by CRC and renaming it by hand would be an awful lot of work.
Possible, yes. But it will be a bit of work. Atm computing the crc value is done at a certain point during game import and looking up the images somewhere else. I have to check how to transfer the crc value to the artwork lookup. So if you can wait some days I will see if I can do it.

In a later release I want to check if I can remove the artwork import to database completely (just lookup the artwork on the fly when you select a game). With this mechanism I would have to find a way that I don't have to recompute the crc values all the time.

@maseatx: Yes, this is a known problem with latest nightly builds. See also here. Only way to get around this atm is to manually edit the scripts skin files. Easiest way will be to remove the "pagecontrol" tags of the wrap lists. Ask here if you have problems with doing this.

I am on it and hope to solve this issue soon.

malte Wrote:@blinken: Please use a service like pastebin to post large log files. There are good reasons why there is a character limitaion here in the forumSmile.

In this log file the problem is just the scraping method (Accurate). The game that you are trying to scrape is named "1080 Snowboarding" and on most sites it is named "1080° Snowboarding". In Accurate mode it requires 100% name matching. Try to scrape it with "Guess matches" or "Interactive".

Hey wilco in future.

I tried switching scraping modes and still the same result - no games appear. I've h, using "accurate mode". I don't understand why it would simply stop working.

It is accurately collecting all the information. It downloads screenshots, disc images, nfo for each game. The problem is all this wonderful information won't appear in my RCB; it just remains at zero games.


- maseatx - 2011-10-24

ok so I would have to do this for all three?
remove the<pagecontrol> tags from wraplist

In the last log you showed to me you tried to import one game that was not found in accurate mode. So this was the error in this log. If you try with other scraping modes and you see that it scrapes correctly please show me these log files and I can check if there is another error.

maseatx Wrote:ok so I would have to do this for all three?

Yes. At least Info view and Thumbs view. Info 2 view is no wraplist, so this will still work with pagecontrol.

I have to check but should be doable.

If it will be any bother, then don't worry about it. Instead, I will just rename the files!


- maseatx - 2011-10-25

ok malte thanks
that did the trick just removed the pagecontrol on the default skin file and its up and running NodNod


- malte - 2011-10-25

@Tomkun: Do you know what was the last version of the nightlies that did not have the wraplist/pagecontrol issue?


- malte - 2011-10-25

Ok, just found a work around for the wraplist issue. It is available via SVN now.

malte Wrote:@Tomkun: Do you know what was the last version of the nightlies that did not have the wraplist/pagecontrol issue?

I don't remember exactly, but I'd guess it was around September 20th...


- Domina - 2011-10-26

Hi Malte, in the case of PageControl / wraplist, a temporary solution would be to remove or hide the bar?
To access it a command "down arrow" for exemple

Image

Similar to what occurs in Aeon MQ3 in coverflow view for exemple:

Image
These two pictures are from the final version of the Aeon MQ3 with Adv launcher to be released this month in day 30, but serves to illustrate.

I noticed that if I modify "wraplist" to "list" in the xml skin, coverflow navigation is compromised, if I delete the lines which contain "PageControl" the bar automatically stops working, but it works manually, the coverflow work is normal.

Hi Malte,
First, my apologies if my english isn't perfect,

I Love RCB, and i'm trying to make some personnal views.
Is there any option / hack to avoid the video to autostart on game focus,
i'm not asking for no video, but a way to act like movie trailers : start video on command (press up for ex.) ?
I've been playing around without success, but i've no particular skining or programming skills, so i still hope there is a solution.
