rasp pi zero w
GPI Case

Hi, is anyone having issues with Skyscraper not working? I have tried the GUI and the command line. Screenscraper admins say it is not on their end.

@jthomas5150 Actually none of the scrapers are working. Is it because I am running an older version of retropie?

Skyscraper (at least) works for me, though I'm running a more recent RetroPie release.
What version of Skyscraper are you using and what's the error you're receiving ? Please add the rest of the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

Pi Model or other hardware: pi zero w
Power Supply used: gpi case
RetroPie Version Used 4.5.1
Built From: downloaded image from retropie website
Error messages received: see picture

I backed up from a known working image several months ago. Same issue.

I always used the command line in Skyscraper. Here is the error I am getting from Skyscraper 3.4.3.

The screen is filled with errors like the one below:

ScreenScraper returned invalid / empty Json.

Which indicates either a failed connection or mismatched API request. Is your Pi connected to the internet ?
I don't see which version of Skyscraper are you using, but you may try to update it (if possible, since the version you have is old).

If you scrape using the EmulationStation scraper, do you have the same errors ?

I was just told by someone on screenscraper Discord that Muldjord stopped development and a change could have broke the apiv2. Maybe I have to move away from Skyscraper?

Works fine here with a recent version (v3.6.13), as I said before, so I don't think there's a problem with Skyscraper.
