Rescrape Everything?

[Jaxel]

I am using SSelph Scraper through the command line to scrape my ROM directories... This is what I am currently using:

/opt/retropie/supplementary/scraper/scraper
 -workers="6"
 -missing="missing.txt"
 -use_nointro_name="false"
 -ss_user="**********"
 -ss_password="**********"
 -console_src="ss"
 -console_img="b"
 -download_images="true"
 -download_marquees="true"
 -download_videos="true"
 -image_dir="boxarts"
 -image_path="./boxarts"
 -image_suffix=""
 -img_format="png"
 -marquee_dir="marquees"
 -marquee_path="./marquees"
 -marquee_format="png"
 -marquee_suffix=""
 -video_dir="videos"
 -video_path="./videos"
 -video_suffix=""

It works reasonably well enough for most consoles. Downloads boxes, screenshots and videos. However, for some consoles, such as the GBA, 50% of the games don't have boxarts or videos. I assume this is because the data is still being populated by the community and that stuff takes time. Because of this, every month or so, I plan on rerunning the scrape to download what is missing.

What would be the best way to do this? The simplest way would be to delete all the images and gamelist.xml and scrape again. However, for the games I already have boxarts, screenshots and videos, I would rather not redownload those. Is there something I can do to have it rescrape all the meta data, but don't download assets it already has?

Another problem I am having... For a lot of my games, they are using the wrong titles. For instance, for Resident Evil 2 for the N64, its listing the game as Biohazard 2 instead. For Paper Mario, its listing it as Mario Story. Why is it using the foreign names, even though it should be using the English names?

@jaxel -append If the gamelist file already exist skip files that are already listed and only append new files.

@jonnykesh but the game is already in the gamelist... its only images/video which are missing. Wouldn't -append skip the game completely, and not check to see if it has new images/videos?
