Although with saying that I noticed a small bug, the name it scrapes contains "é" but when scraped it shows up as what looks like the html character set for it.Yes, there are still some encoding issues. Not easy to support different python versions and OS. It is on my list but I can't promise to solve it. st graveyard Wrote:It is always like this. The first removal and reload everything is ok, the second, the filter is lost and I need to set it back to Genesis. I'm using AEON MQ3. I was thinking the other day this could become a big problem as I plan to add all my collections one day.Ok, did not try it after an import. Will check this, too.

I am not sure if thegamesdb gives me alternative results if it can't find the search string. RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - Chromedstang - 2012-05-16 I did try with other scrapers and same thing. Also now when I click on a rom to play it only plays Jsnes... RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - malte - 2012-05-16 Can you show me log files of both issues? RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - binarybomber - 2012-05-17 XBMCbuntu Users: I have found a way to use Solo Mode in RCB, while still retaining the "set-top box" appearance of XBMC that we're so fond of If you're using the Eden version of XBMCbuntu, use OpenBox as your session, and visit this website which will show you how to create an autostart script for OpenBox. http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Autostart Simply place "xbmc -fs" in your "/home/user/.config/openbox/autostart" file, set your system to auto boot to OpenBox, and voila! OpenBox is an extremely light window manager, and has no desktop attributes. Should be very little difference between using the XBMC and OpenBox sessions, maybe 1-2 second longer boot time. I also use scripts to invoke my emulators with LIRC remote control to kill them, and it all works like a charm! Hope this helps some of you!!! binarybomber RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - Chromedstang - 2012-05-17 @malte I would..if I knew how lol RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - malte - 2012-05-17 @binarybomber: Thanks! I am sure this will be useful for others. @Chromedstang: No problem. Check this. RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - malte - 2012-05-17 New test version available: 1.0.4 (version 1.0.3 caused errors, so I had to upload 1.0.4) List of changes: General:
This is kind of the missing part of the last release 1.0.2. Together with the "missing info filter" introduced with the last version you should now have enough control about the rescraping process to get your rom collections accurate and shiny There is also a new option to prevent RCB from overwriting existing info with null values in case of a rescrape. You can change this in Addon Settings, default value is "False" (Don't allow overwrite with null values). You can now access the Addon settings from context menu inside the Addon. I guess this comes in handy for all that have RCB sitting on the home screen. You don't have to navigate to programs or addons only to change some settings anymore. Note: Some settings (especially all browsing related options) require RCB restart before a change is noticed. As previous version these changes are only available in Default Confluence skin atm. There will be one more test release before I start preparing official repo version and ask the skin authors to update their skins. But I hope that this next version will not have to wait 2 months again... Previous version: 1.0.2 RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - Chromedstang - 2012-05-17 http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=2701 RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - malte - 2012-05-17 (2012-05-17, 16:22)Chromedstang Wrote: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=2701I guess you missed one important point: Code: Reproduce your problem Looks like you did not even start RCB in this log?

I have a question : [*] bug: Import games with () in name with local single file scraper You remember that the local scraper was working correctly, but the collection scraper was failing? I will test and see if it is all solved now. Single game rescrape should be awesome. No more deleting of games and re-importing and all the little tricks to get the result you want! Thanks a lot already. Cheers, Grave RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - Chromedstang - 2012-05-17 Haha really? I usually leave it on though to be honest. I just reproduced it the best I can and there's no error..It just doesn't play the ROM I click on it just brings up a different ROM emulator. I.E I click on Gameboy Game and it brings up a Super Nintendo emulator.. RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - st graveyard - 2012-05-17 Malte, Just installed the new test version. It doesn't work for me ar all. Tested in Confluence and MQ3. Indeed in confluence, the new features are there. however, after switching to new version and selecting XBMC, no games in the db are displayed. I know they are in the db, but nothing is found and placed on screen. I then do a genesis import (using my genesis scraper) and all of a sudden, both the systems in my collection (snes and genesis) are back on screen (after a really really fast import process). When I try and filter to genesis only, nothing happens. The filter seems broken too. When I leave rcb and reload it, all my games are gone again. Then I can start over again as described above. What do I do now? Try using the new version of RCB with an existing local collection if you want and see if it works for you ... EDIT : switching back to previous version and all problems are gone...

Maybe you restarted XBMC after reproducing the issue? st graveyard Wrote:I have a question :Yes, this should be fixed now. st graveyard Wrote:Just installed the new test version.

Then I can start over again as described above.Your setup is quite similar to my test setup. I have just a genesis and a sega 32 collection up and running. I had a copy of my database from before my changes and everything is running flawlessly with this db. It is also imported from local desc files but this should not matter once everything is inside the db. Can you show me a log of the new version on your system? Maybe I missed something or there is a problem specific to something in your configuration. RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - st graveyard - 2012-05-17 Ok so, I have a perfect genesis setup in version 1.0.2. This is what I do now : 1) start xbmc 2) install from zip the new version 1.0.3 3) go to programs --> RCB No games are displayed anymore. This is the part of the log where rcb is kicking in : Quote:20:39:26 T:748 NOTICE: RCB_INFO: Scraper Site: Genesis There are errors ... When I do a import of the genesis collection using local import both of my collections are back, but filter actions don't work. I also noticed all my publishers and developers in the filter are gone!!!! Maybe this has something to do with it? This is the final part of the log : Quote:20:50:48 T:4000 NOTICE: Closing audio device I'll see if I canupload the complete log somewhere ... You have any idea of the problems? This is the complete log : http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=2714 RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - malte - 2012-05-17 Damn. I see. It is the change that I made to support publisher / developer names like "989". It causes encoding issues with names with special characters. This was a stupid one I just uploaded version 1.0.4. This should fix the problem. Thanks again for testing for reporting. |
