I am seriously really really stupid. Never mind... :)

@mitu 'parse gamelist only' was apperently turned on for some reason, and it fixed the problem 😉 thanks

@muldjord Thanks - that works well. I've modified my script output a one-liner to execute Skyscraper as you suggest. It'd be nice if there was a way to pipe a bunch of those "--query "md5=HASH" FILENAME" pairs into the cmd, so it could minimize the startup/rampdown stuff and provide better progress tracking.

But, it moves me forward. Thanks a ton!

@xwons hi you could try arrm http://www.jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=start-en
It's working on windows

Many thanks for this, I will read through the material and then give it a go. Steve

I have found this thread by search.
Apparently i have a similar issue but on my case i have put my current username and password to the right section but when try to launch skyscraper it's not be usage the corrent 20.000 limit but it's ever use "only" 10.000 so the login it's not work.

It's someone have a similar issue ?

EDIT
Sorry for editing this reply.. previously i have quoted a old reply.
Now my reply it's general :)

@Clyde thanks.

@muldjord I will give this a go to see if I can find out what is going on.
Either that or I will manually edit the files with the correct revision names from my previous scrapes.

Appreciate the help @muldjord and @mitu

Thanks

Jimi

@muldjord ok, I got it to work! What I had to do was go into the Skyscraper menu, select cache options, select purge specific system. Then I rescanned for sources and generated a list. Woo! Other threads on this site helped me put the pieces together. Thanks all!

@mitu Excellent! Thanks for the help! I will try this in the next few days. And thanks for your help in this community!

@timmay No idea about that. I love the default theme and have only ever tried a few others before going back to the default one. It has everything I want.

@muldjord said in Skyscraper: problem with re-naming rom names without bracket info:

Do you perhaps sometimes run Skyscraper from command-line and sometimes from the RetroPie script? And do you then maybe have two different versions?

Maybe I misunderstood and by two versions you meant two different scrapes for a system instead two versions of Skyscraper?
In this case I'm pretty sure I only used Skyscraper from terminal for CPS systems as those were the only ones that originally didn't scrape from RP-script.

@showstopper Yes, you can scrape a single file by adding it to the end of the command-line. And you can set a temporary region with with the --region option. Check the region documentation. Check it all here: https://github.com/muldjord/skyscraper/tree/master/docs

Remember to regenerate the game list afterewards and be aware that not all sources have regional support.

Totally understood.
Thank you very much for your help, I really appreciate it a lot.

Skyscraper has an import module, use it to add your own info to the cache so your information doesn't get overwritten in the resulting gamelist.xml. Runtime logs can be found in $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/logs, timestamped and compressed.

@jodiefoster I don't know what app you are referring to. I use a Raspberry Pi.

@mitu Hi thanks for your help , I have worked out what the issue was.
When I put in username and password and deleted the # in front of userCreds I deleted the 'u' and
then changed it to UserCreds.

Linux is case sensitive so it did not like the change.

Put it back to userCreds and working fine

I also put [screenscraper] just above.

thanks
Jimi

@mitu That is correct. If you have enabled video scraping while gathering the resources with Skyscraper, it will show up if your theme supports it. If you also want to make use of other resources in theme, such as the wheel or boxart by itself, you need to add it to the artwork compositor. This is all documented here.

@muldjord ok. Thank you for a great application!

Could be a throttling issue. I have decided to move the amiga games one folder at a time into the roms folder.
So I will scrape all games beginning with A in the roms folder.
I'll then do the same with B etc and create a number of gamelist.xmls
I'l then do a merge of the gamelist.xmls and edit it to point to the correct folders.

A bit of work but it should hopefully do the trick rather than scraping all at once in different folders.

Regards
Jimi
