      I find that I can't rescrape certain games that previously worked with screenscraper. For example:

      Never mind, it looks like it was a temporary problem with screenscraper. It seems to be working ok for me now.

        @muldjord Is Skyscraper down ? I had been using it via command line and tried to update it today to the lastest version and got an error, then I uninstalled it and tried to re-install it and the same error popped up not allowing it to install from scratch.This is the error:
        compilation terminated.
        Makefile:748: recipe for target 'skyscraper.o' failed
        make *** (skyscraper.o) Error 1

        I then tried to install it via Retropie Setup and received the error
        Could not successfully build skyscraper -Scraper for Emulationstation by Lars Muldjord.
        (/home/pi/Retropie Setup/tmp/build/skyscraper/Skyscraper not found)

          @ByteThis Can you post the complete error log on pastebin.com - you should find the complete log file in ~/RetroPie-Setup/logs.

            @mitu Sure here is the one from trying to install via Retropie Setup : https://pastebin.com/r3Sc4CXX

            I deleted the one from the command line but I will reproduce the error and paste it here.

            Here is the second log : https://pastebin.com/TeGYj0bD

              @ByteThis Looks really odd. Seems like it is missing a qt5 dependency. It can't find the QStorageInfo headers. This works just fine on my own Pi 3B+. Just for the heck of it, try running:

              $ sudo apt-get install qt5-default
              

              And then try installing it again.

                @ByteThis Ugh, it looks like your Raspbian version doesn't have an up-to-date QT5 install (well, what @muldjord said :) ). Are you running on Raspbian Jessie or older ?

                  @mitu This build still on jessie. I will try muldjord's suggestion.

                  @muldjord This is what the output after running that command :

                    @ByteThis I don't think it will help - the install script already installs that package and it's probably already installed from the first time you added Skyscraper.

                      @mitu I was running Skyscraper fine with jessie until the mishap with the Screenscraper API that @muldjord fixed..lol.

                        @ByteThis Yeah, I have no idea why this would happen... Only thing that springs to mind is a failing SD card. I haven't seen this error before and, as I mentioned, it compiles just fine on my own Pi.

                          @muldjord Weird..my sd card is fine as it is only about a month old and have been adding roms and such fine with it. Is your newest version of Skyscraper compatible with jessie ? (I imagine it is)

                            No, your QT5 is too old.
                            Debian Jessie has Qt5.3.2 (https://packages.debian.org/jessie/qt5-default), however @muldjord added a space checking feature recently which requires QStorageInfo. QStorageInfo has been added in Qt 5.4 (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstorageinfo.html), so it's obviously missing on Jessie - there's no card corruption happening.

                              Ah, yes, that's the reason then. I had no idea the Qt5 version on Jessie was that old.

                                @muldjord Oh, man, you killed jessie (sorry, couldn't resist).

                                  @muldjord Are you able to implement a workaround for those of us that are still using jessie ?

                                    Already done so. I've included a check for the Qt version so it only includes the space check if the user has Qt5.4.0 or later. It will be in 3.0.4.

                                      @ByteThis 3.0.4 out now. Please update and test.

                                        @muldjord That's great ! Just discovered that the new ES version doesn't install on Jessie (due to a missing dependency), so the updated ES scraper can't be used.

                                            @mitu Yes..the error is "Could not install package(s): rapidjson.dev". I updated ES some time ago to install the Screenscraper scraper within Retropie and tried to re-update to include TheGAMESDB but got that error.
