Can't scrape roms on NAS

[Johno]

Hi,

I have my roms on a NAS and can load them from there but I can't scrape them as it says disk full of some other error. What am I doing wrong? How can you scrape roms on a NAS?

I'm using a pi3 on latest retropie

I don't have a nas, but have you tried to run the sselph scraper from your computer? Stick the scraper file in the rom folder you want scraped, and run it from your computer. Seems faster for me too.

I run most of my roms from my NAS. I can scrape them with the inbuilt ES scraper without a problem, but the sselph scraper doesn't see them. I never considered running the sselph scraper on the computer instead of the Pi.

You say you have a disk full error... the scraper saves the scraped images to the microsd card in your Pi, so maybe it's as simple as the card being full? Depending on how many roms you are trying to scrape, that could potentially be hundreds of megs worth of images being saved to your Pi. Just a thought.

@Johno As @Darksavior mentioned, the scraper was designed to be run from another system and file copied over so if that works, great.

If you want to try and troubleshoot this. How are you invoking the scraper? Through the setup script or directly? Maybe the NAS is mounted read-only? I would think the error would be something like permission denied in that case but maybe not. Another possible issue is you have everything on the NAS but if using the setup script to start the scraper, the images are written to the SD card by default. I think there is now an option there to change the location to the rom directory. If the SD card was small or not expanded it could be filling it up.

thanks guys. the sd card isnt full as it says there's like 29 gig free on it. ive tried the inbuilt scraper and the sselph one and still get errors. i thought the images wrre stored in the roms folder now in a folder called images so therefore stored on my nas? I could be wrong though.
