      Hello,

      I’ve updated Emulationstation to latest version (2.8.3RP) Now built-in scraper work correctly with gamesdb.net but not with screenscraper.fr. (NO GAMES FOUND)

      Anybody find the way to make it work ?

      For your information, screenscraper.fr is correctly working when using stevens selph’s scraper, what is not working is the built-in scraper when using the emulationstation GUI.

      I’d like to manually scrap some games which are not recognized by « crc check » but with the name, and i’d like to have video preview. (So screenscraper is perfect for that)

      Thanks for your help,

        @vinz2k the built-in scraper has some issues at the moment with screenscraper - fixed in the -dev branch. However, video support and search by name are not implemented - for Screenscraper. Whule the search by name might be implemented, I wouldn't count on video download being added. You would be better served by skyscraper or other external scrapers.
