      @sleve_mcdichael

      Any idea why what I have Scraped in Arcade has not show up in my favorites?

      I will say if an item was Scraped to the Arcade and then moved to Favorites, the scraped info migrated to that area. Items already in my Favorites did not populate scraped info in the Arcade.

      Also a deleted item in Favorites is gone. I assumed it would return to the Arcade, but it is not there. Does this mean when you delete from the Favorites, you are deleting it from the system?

      @bpjerseyboy said in Skyscraper Stopped Passing Credentials to Screeenscraper:

      @mitu Many thanks. Oddly the config file has always been this way and it has worked in the past. I will update this and report the result.

      Unless it has been using a config file from somewhere else where it was entered correctly, this is impossible. It only works if entered as @mitu described. :) I should know, I wrote the software. And if a [screenscraper] section isn't found, it won't use the credentials.

      @mitu Oh, sorry. Yes, the list of games is still there, just no associated images/videos.

      So...go figure...decided to re-scrape those 2 game sets with Skraper...and, bingo, it worked, all images and videos are there, restarted and rebooted just to confirm. Not sure what Skraper does, almost like it made a proprietary setup, but either way, it's working so I guess I should be happy :-)

      Thanks for your help!!

      @MBRetrocade said in Issue with scrapes:

      arcadedb provided a video, but why are we only getting the audio of the video? I have other systems with videos and images, the image will show and then the video will play just fine. So it isn't in the theme? What could be causing this? HELP!

      See this recent topic for a similar issue - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/26257/ - some videos are not compatible with vlc/omxplayer and need conversion.

      @PanzerDude92 No, it's using the ScreenScraper site for scraping.
      I'm not sure if scraping from TheGamesDB has been fixed in the stable release, the development branch for sure has a fix for the TGDB scraper. What version of EmulationStation are you using ?

      @mitu

      Man I can't thank you enough, it's finally working! If you PM me your details, you have a few beers from me :)

      For anyone interested, after registering at screenscraper.fr and going through all SS flags arguments, I think I finally got it right:

      /opt/retropie/supplementary/scraper/scraper -scrape_all=true -download_images=true -download_marquees=true -download_videos=true -console_src="ss,gdb,ovgdb" -mame_src="adb,mamedb,gdb" -use_nointro_name=true -ss_user="user_name" -ss_password="password"

      No more errors:

      And it looks like I corrected the issue. I copied the gamelist.xml for Atari 2600 from Emulationstation to the folder that holds the roms. That seems to have done the trick. Thank you guys again for the guidance and help.

      I finally got it!!!

      As a matter of self-defense, I run a pi-hole as my DNS server. Well, after reading another post referencing turning off the firewall, it gave me the idea to bypass my pi-hole. Once I did that, it was working as it should.

      I know the author has abandoned this program, but I really wish he'd come back and put some better error messages in it. Line 26511 doesn't help me. "Hey, I can't get out" would have helped me a great deal and saved me a lot of time and aggravation

      @djultimate I always drop the .bin files in a different folder (usually roms\systemnamecopier\ and then scrape, it will go a lot faster that way instead of the scraper hashing every .bin. Once you finish scraping drop the bin files back in the appropriate folder and you're good to go!

      @mitu Ah, that would explain why it worked during my last install, but not now. Updating all the core packages at once seemed to ignore the fact that there was a newer version of ES and left me on 2.7.5, so I updated that individually, which put me on 2.7.6, and everything works like it used to now. Thanks for your help there! You've saved me tearing my hair out looking for something I would never would have found by myself! :)

      @mitu thankyou it showed up now.

      Scraper ran buy nothing seemed to change from the built-in scraper. I have turned on video snaps and es was off before running.

      I have a backup image prior to any games going on running the built-in scraper so I might revert back to that and see how it goes.

      @arcee84 I will remove. I would recommend not signing up in the future to forums if you're going to make a few posts then ask for the account to be removed. It's a waste of your time and mine.

      @starrslytleangel said in PSX Game Metadata does not save after exit error message:

      By downloading the image will it erase what I have put on the retro pi?

      Once you flash the official image to your card, it will erase everything prior, leaving you with a clean system.

      @melbmatt50 said in Retropie issues with WiFi setup and Scraper:

      Now during startup it asks for a login and password which I would rather it didn't so I want to disable that.

      It's enough to login once - after the upgrade - and re-configure auto-login using sudo raspi-config. Unfortunately that's part of Raspbian and it's not under RetroPie's control. See this topic for solutions to this problem.

      Secondly I got a 64gb sd card so I could load more stuff on it but etcher won't verify it after burning the image to it and I get the following message during installation on my raspberry pi 3 model b+ Kernel panic-not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(179,2). If you can help me I would be grateful. Its a sandisk ultra 64gb class 10 card.

      The error seems to indicate badly/imcomplete written image. If the verification doesn't work, maybe the SD card is faulty ?
