A way to find missing Artwork inside folders

[NIGHTKILLER05]

Hi guys, I am using Skyscraper, great tool, but I like to use my own resized artwork downloaded from the internet, my question is, is there a way to "audit" my artwork folders to know if there is something missing like videos, logos, boxart, etc (like the HyperDetective tool for Hyperspin) ? the artwork I found sometimes has a different name compared with the rom's name, and there are systems with hundreds of games, checking in ES if each game has video/logo/boxart is a very time consuming job, thanks in advance my friends !!!!!

@nightkiller05 https://github.com/muldjord/skyscraper/blob/master/docs/CLIHELP.md#--cache-reportmissingall-textual-artwork-media-or-resource1resource2

Ex.:

Skyscraper -p snes --cache report:missing=video

@sleve_mcdichael Thanks for the quick answer, I have a basic question, where can I execute that command? all I obtain in CLI is a error message

pi@retropie:~ $ Skyscraper -p snes --cache report:missing=video
-bash: Skyscraper: command not found
pi@retropie:~ $
pi@retropie:~ $ sudo Skyscraper -p snes --cache report:missing=video
sudo: Skyscraper: command not found
pi@retropie:~ $ cd /opt/retropie/supplementary/skyscraper/
pi@retropie:/opt/retropie/supplementary/skyscraper $ Skyscraper -p snes --cache report:missing=video
-bash: Skyscraper: command not found
pi@retropie:/opt/retropie/supplementary/skyscraper $ sudo Skyscraper -p snes --cache report:missing=video
sudo: Skyscraper: command not found
pi@retropie:/opt/retropie/supplementary/skyscraper $

I assume that I can't use Skyscraper via CLI for some reason, but I can use it calling retropie-setup via cli first:

sudo ./RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh

Then I go to - C Configuration Tools -> 230 Skyscraper and thats it, I don't know why I cant use it via CLI, help me please

According to the documentation page:
https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Scraper/#using-skyscraper
The path should be /opt/retropie/supplementary/skyscraper/Skyscraper
so you were really close.

The reason it wouldn't work is because the operating system is only configured to look in certain folders for executable scripts/programs. So you either have to launch them from the folder where they actually are, reference them with an absolute path, or add a new location to your configuration.

@YFZdude is right, you need to use the full path to Skyscraper. Also, do not use sudo with Skyscraper, it will not work correctly.

See:

NOTE! If you've installed Skyscraper through the RetroPie-Setup script, it is recommended to create a symbolic link to the executable. Do this by running sudo ln -s /opt/retropie/supplementary/skyscraper/Skyscraper /usr/local/bin/Skyscraper. This will allow you to just type Skyscraper when running it from command line.

As mentioned, don't run it as sudo, that will make everything it does be owned by super-user "root," and then regular user "pi" is going to have a hard time. (If you already have done this, you can probably fix the permissions with a sudo chown -R pi:pi <directory> on the ~/.skyscraper/cache and ~/.emulationstation directories. If you have set it to use the roms dir for gamelists or media files, do the chown command on ~/RetroPie/roms too.)

Skyscraper (big "S") is the executable. /opt/retropie/supplementary/skyscraper (little "s") is the right directory, where the executable lives

The only reason it didn't work when they tried it from there is because executables in Linux (unless they are in the system path) need to be prefaced by a full or relative path, including ./ if it's in the current directory.

pi@retropie:~ $ cat test.sh
#! /bin/bash
echo It Works!!
pi@retropie:~ $ test.sh
-bash: test.sh: command not found
pi@retropie:~ $ ./test.sh
It Works!!
pi@retropie:~ $

So you either have to launch them from the folder where they actually are, reference them with an absolute path, or add a new location to your configuration.

(Or symlink the executable in your system path, as recommended in Skyscraper's help docs.)

Thats a little weird, but then I saw the las post from @sleve_mcdichael about execute the command with "./" and worked like a charm:

pi@retropie:/opt/retropie/supplementary/skyscraper $ ./Skyscraper -p atari2600 -s screenscraper --cache report:missing=all
