Steven Selph's Scraper Will not download.

funimation · 6 Dec 2017, 18:18

Hey everyone. Does anyone know how to help. After trying to install Steven Selph's Scraper from the optional packages, I get an error message. I am running retro Pie 4.3 on Raspberry pi 3. The message says " Could not successfully install Scraper for Emulation station by Steven Selph (/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/scraper/scraper not found). When downloading any other optional packages it works fine. Help would be greatly appreciated, wanting to scrape video file previews for my roms

Are you connected to Ethernet or Wi-Fi

maybe try installing Retropie on a new SD card and see what happens

funimation · 7 Dec 2017, 19:47

@retroprogrammer I am connected to WiFi. Should I try Ethernet? I was unaware that would make a difference. thanks

@funimation its okay if that doesn't work try a new SD card

mitu · 7 Dec 2017, 19:50

@retroprogrammer Why would you think a new card is needed ?

funimation · 7 Dec 2017, 19:51

@retroprogrammer Hmm.. I have seen some people say just a fresh install will make it work. Just didnt want to wipe things. Guess I will make a backup of roms.

My bad just write over the old one sorry

retroprogrammer · 7 Dec 2017, 19:52

yes a fresh install will do it sorry @funimation @mitu

Just woke up a little drowsy

I remember someone had a similar problem - see if this will fix the error:

@funimation does Ethernet make any difference?

funimation · 7 Dec 2017, 23:49

@mitu thanks for the suggestion . After trying to set it up manually, it stops here.

Not quite sure what to type from here on .

@retroprogrammer
After plugging it into the ethernet it did not work. However I tried manually and am stuck. See above picture.

@funimation The files in /opt/retropie/supplementary/golang seem empty. Delete that folder and then use the setup script to re-install the golang package, then try installing the scraper package.

@mitu Interesting. Thank you! I am still learning. This is my second pi. I cannot try this till after work today. I will respond this evening and we will see how it went!

funimation · 8 Dec 2017, 17:46

@funimation Would I delete these from the config script, or within retropie setup?

mitu · 8 Dec 2017, 20:27

@funimation You'd delete them from the command line - either log in via SSH on the device, or exit EmulationStation. Then execute

 cd /opt/retropie/supplementary/
sudo rm -fr golang

After the folder is deleted, start Emulationstation (type emulationstation at the command prompt), go to the RetroPie setup script and re-install the golang package, then try again to install and run the Scraper.

@mitu it seems to have worked somewhat. I am currently stuck at “getting sources for ‘scraper’ : Scraper for Emulation Station by Steven Selph”

It hasn’t moved for about 20 minutes . Maybe I’ll wait an hour or so and if nothing has happened I’ll retry.
Sorry for all the posts ! Hopefully it is good now. It is connected to Ethernet. Maybe I’ll also try WiFi
