If the caps lock was intentional. Sorry that I angered you; I do not mean to disrespect.

I reviewed your es_systems.cfg file again and it looks about on par with mine, although you have a lot bigger games list than I do.

FYI, The method I use to find your games is I search path for any files matching what you have in extension.

EX:
<system>
<name>3do</name>
<fullname>3DO Interactive Multiplayer</fullname>
<path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/3do</path>
<extension>.iso .ISO</extension>
<command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 SYS 3do %ROM%</command>
<platform>3do</platform>
<theme>3do</theme>
</system>

If you select 3DO Interactive Multiplayer, then I search anything under /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/3do that ends with ".iso" or ".ISO"

One thing your es_systems.cfg doesn't show is if you are using any aliases for your folders. I am thinking of adding another push to the Program that allows you to get log information.

This might make it easier to track down where you are having issues.

Just for a start, what Emulators are you selecting for your search?

No problem i use caps lock to make a word more visible like Bold.
And for WTF i always write it with caps lock, maybe because i'm French :p

Yes good idea, it can help me too if i can track when i click some where, what is doing the program.
If you can write all the LOG in the Chrome/Firefox Console it can be easier to read and use.

I have try many ... but if you want we can work on 3DO or SNES.

@darknior I pushed the new logs feature.

At the bottom of the Monitor page, is Logs where you can get the runcommand, es, and RetroPieWebConsole logs.

Can you run a test and send me the RetroPieWebConsole-error-0.log and RetroPieWebConsole-out-0.log
log files?

FYI, on the Home page, I created a Report an issue link, where you can add new issues (requires a GitHub account). You can upload files that way if you want.

I have send you an issue ;)

Working on a live streaming feature.

Currently. it is not as fast as using VNC, but I believe it works without VNC experimental drivers.

darknior

WOAW excellent new feature :)
I must try your fix on my issue but i have a little problem with my PI, next week it will ok :)

MileSacul

The streaming feature is in. Currently, I am using raspi2png, which allows writing screenshots to stdout (faster transfer time), but there is a delay.

I am looking at omxplayer and rtmpdump. If anybody has experience with these or know where some good instructions are, I would be greatly appreciative of your help.

In the next release, I will be making major changes to the Applications section so it faster/smarter with full installs/updates and database updates.

@milesacul there was another one like vnc but didn't require x but I don't remember what is was I'd have to look for it.

Good work though looks promising

@MileSacul Maybe something lile https://github.com/hanzelpeter/dispmanx_vnc or https://github.com/DougGore/telepi for streaming ? Both seem geared towards the Raspberry PI, the 2nd one even does hardware encoding (H.264).

I am looking into info-beamer's screenshot utility. While it does not support width and height it seems to have a better performance at larger resolutions.

Based on what I have read, it seems to support full "streaming" instead of just grabbing screenshots every few seconds, but I haven't figured that part out yet.
