RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - Hudson_Hawk04 - 2020-01-04
The entries for the game show up completely blank I’ll post the log asap, also where would that log file be located?
RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - Kupo91 - 2020-01-04
Using a device which runs LibreElec there is a home folder which contains folders like addons, screenshots, userdata and logfiles. If I open the logfiles folder it automatically creates a zip file full with logs.
I don't know where the folder is on windows. Probably in user/appdata/local.. or roaming (the folder is hidden on default)
RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - Kupo91 - 2020-01-04
Check your game directory if RCB really downloaded the artwork and if it created a *.nfo file for the game. If so open the *.nfo file and check if the file is empty or not

I found the location I was not thinking straight just turned on debuglogging and attempting scan again will be up shortly
[RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - Hudson_Hawk04 - 2020-01-04
Just did a quick check of where the artwork should be stored nothing is there should know more in a bit
Here is a link to the log had to share via google drive as it was too large for pastebin

RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - Hudson_Hawk04 - 2020-01-05
so go with a different scrapper or offline scrapper? If i went with an offline scrapper exactly what would I need? Thanks for your assistance.
RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - Hudson_Hawk04 - 2020-01-05
I may have figured out the whole scraping manually thing, only time will tell though I will post my progress

RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - Hudson_Hawk04 - 2020-01-06
looks like i was able to fill the majority with the manual scraping, manual artwork not so much at least at the moment that part is over my head (maybe if i read more I'll understand better) but as far as online scraping goes giantbomb seems to pull artwork however it just takes ages. I really hope this works
Upon looking at whats been scraped so far I can see nfo's for some of the items scraped being created while some are not
RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - damanhoury - 2020-01-17

Tried to scrape DC games with mobygames and worked fine. Didnt tried with thegamedb
Kodi 18.5 and git rcb here.
Edit tried with thegamedb and legacy.thegamedb and didnt work. Game was added but no info or artwork.
Mobygames is fine.
RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - malte - 2020-01-27
Current git version should work with thegamesdb again. (See here how to grab latest git version)
I had to change the url to thegamesdb API. I guess the new url is only a temporary solution so this fix might not work again in the future.
