Just thought i would let you all know that Gamefaqs seems to dislike having there website scraped excessively as I've received an indefinate ban on my ip address after importing a few sets with that scraper. To be fair i do have a ton of roms so its understandable that I would trigger an automated ip block. I'm considering contacting the site to see if I can get unbanned and was wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences with gamefaqs or if anyone has some advise on how I should proceed.

Here are some suggestions :

• Avoid to base all your scrapers (data, thumbs and fanarts) on the same website. Scraping stuff need 2 website connections (1 for searching the game and 1 for downloading game stuff). So, if you use the same website for all scrapers, it will represent a total of 6 website connections per game. Try to mix, for example : data -> Allgame, thumbs -> MobyGames and fanart -> GameFaq. It will then represent only 2 connections par website and per game.
  
• Use a dynamic IP... so you will never be permanently blocked.
  
• You can try to pass by a proxy or a VPN server (but connection speed will probably be slower).

I'm using real great Advanced Launcher to call Mupen64plus emu .. was happy to see that the "sometimes-sound-works-sometimes-not"-Bug seemed to be resolved with

but unfortunately there is still some issue, will say, sometimes the games have sound, randomly not, but starting directly from console works always flawlessly. And I discovered that toggling xbmc from fullscreen to windowed and back often doesn't work, stays often, but not always in windowed mode ..

How can I help, which information do you need to identify the problem ?

A> Do not use SMB sources - you must map a network drive in Windows
B> Run your XBMC and emulators as administrator
C> Fix administrator access to map drives with the below process

1. Run regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Policies/System
2. Add new DWORD key named EnableLinkedConnections and set decimal value of 1
3. Restart PC
4. Map network drive to your resources (rom's, art, etc.) using windows File Explorer and check the box to reconnect on login
5. Add the mapped drive as a source within XBMC
6. Create the launcher as normal

is it possible? or even add an "advanced launcher plugin" ( a 2nd program extension ) that use our launcher.xml to achieve that?
Since I saw the new game console, I think that my htpc with advanced launcher is already "next generation" the only thing I'm missing is this ability to integrate advanced launcher even more in it ....
If this is too hard ( or impossible ) ...well too bad ...but if their is a chance...
Anyway, thanks again for your work and quick support !
Merci et à bientôt!

(2013-06-02, 09:21)bakito Wrote: Or what is the path to the different genre?

• %%SEARCH_ITEM%% to search by item title name
  
• %%SEARCH_DATE%% to search by date
  
• %%SEARCH_PLATFORM%% to search by platform name
  
• %%SEARCH_STUDIO%% to search by studio name
  
• %%SEARCH_GENRE%% to search by genre
  

(2013-06-03, 12:30)bakito Wrote: A thousand thanks to take of your time for my request!!
Well I try to manage something with the hint you gave me, maybe a search entry direct on home menu or a panel with the different genre of game....
I ll try to edit my favourite file and see what happen, and test if it s really more convinient for what i have in mind...
Again, thanks I will try this!
Cheers
Merci!

• Create a stand alone launcher
  
• Application : xbmc executable file path
  
• Arguments : ActivateWindow(10001,"plugin://plugin.program.advanced.launcher/?Adventure/%%SEARCH_GENRE%%")

You can try this : Go into Advanced Launcher context menu (using C "key") > Add-on Settings > Miscellaneous > Launcher start options > and put "Action on XBMC playing media" to "Let Play".
