@Aksen
Today I released Retropie Metadata Editor v0.1.5.0
In this Version the Image Path is more generic, it works with a placeholder for the current system.
Work find on my Retropie Environment. Maybe you will test it in yours and give me a short feedback :-)

Please take care to update also the Local Image Path, otherwise EmulationStation will not find the Image.

Alright! I've run it and I got an error:

Here's a screenshot of how I set it up:

I think it's because I'm pointing it to a rom directory that is on a computer, not a pi. I like to get clean, prepped rom directories that I can archive on my NAS or give to friends, and I've tended to do my metadata/images cleanup there before I deploy to a pi. That's why I keep the images and metadata in roms subfolders.

I don't have my raspberry pi with me, so I can't test that until tonight. I made a small roms folder with ./nes/ and ./snes/ and scraped with universal xml scraper. RetropieMetadataEditor.exe finds my roms, gamelist, and images! and then I get the error and it stops before moving past NES

Can you pls send/pastbin your gamelist XML of NES? I guess the Releasedate or Lastplayed Timestamp is not in the format yyyyMMddTHHmmss... that causes the exception.
I have to think how to handle different Timestamp Formats... i thought, the Format of the Timestamps is stable.

@kmssd
I Need a Stacktrace to analyse this exception. Maybe you can Pastbin it like Aksen?!?

Here's the gamelist.xml in question!

Downloaded the program today. Running Windows 10. I can SSH into the pi fine. I can Winscp into the Pi fine. But when I hit connect to retropie it shows runs the initialization but finds no roms. Im missing something.

Also, Will you be implementing more systems? I could really use this for Daphne, PC, and Scummvn =)

@amadeus finally this version support video?

kmssd

@amadeus I think this is it, http://pastebin.com/AAp7vb7i

amadeus

@Nismo
Nope, sorry but video tags are not supported at the moment.

amadeus

@LiqwdE
Roms for which systems are not found?

To your system request:

ScummVM is already supported
PC is not supported at the momen
What is 'Daphne'? I can't found it on Systems in Retropie page

Hi folks,

here is a new release of RME: Retropie Metadata Editor v0.1.6.0

This one...

Fixed an error when parsing a timestamp with the value '00000000T000000' (THX to Aksen)
Fixed an error that occurred when a file without extension was found in the "rom" folder. (THX to kmssd)

I would be glad about a short feedback from you, whether the bugs were fixed - or not. ;-)

Regards,
ama

Daphne is a laser disc emulator. Dragons lair, space ace, etc.. it's currently in the experimental packages. Works good though.

Not detecting any system currently. Does this require samba shares to be running?

The github wiki shows all the emulators down the right side of the page.

Don't know if it's required, but installed samba shares. \retropie and signed in. Now it sees my roms, so woohoo.

But, it's not seeing MAME. Is there a specific mame folder? Cause there are several

kmssd

@amadeus Well I'm smacking myself in the head. You found that I had a file without an extension. The program does run past the scanning but now when I browse the gamelists I get this error,
The program issued a command but the command length is incorrect, see http://pastebin.com/SKwKkk3x

amadeus

@LiqwdE
The current Version v0.1.6 only supports the arcade folder. So maybe place your mame roms there.

Aksen

@amadeus Hey there, I just got around to trying 1.6.0 and I'm getting the same error:

System.FormatException: The DateTime represented by the string is not supported in calendar System.Globalization.GregorianCalendar.

amadeus

@kmssd
Hmmm... this is a strange error. It orrured during one of your images is open to determinate the dimension of it. Maybe this cause in a corrupted or bad file. Can you identify the game and images on which this happened? A Workaround could be to delete this image. Otherwise I could implement a try-catch-block to catch this error.

ama

@Aksen
The Rom 720 degress contains a release date '19890000T000000' this is not a valid date (for .NET)
I guess best solution is to implement datetime parsing in a try-catch-block. Gimme some time for a fixed version.

@amadeus
Today release: Retropie Metadata Editor v0.1.7.0

CHANGELOG

Remove System 'Mame'
Add System 'Arcade' (THX to Erik)
Add System 'MAME libretro' (THX to Erik)
Add System 'MAME4All' (THX to Erik)
Add try-catch to datetime parsing
Add try-catch to GetSize() of image
