      @quicksilver they sell this tv at target. I bought it because of the look. It is overpriced and only has one hdmi. So i have to use an hdmi switch box.

            One thing sadly the scraper still give me some odd error resizing image, not the disk full error message, it exit to terminal and should reboot via SSH, seems some roms image could trigger this obnoxious process.

                  Yes, there was a bug in ES for folder scraping that was fixed a few months back, but can't recall if the changes have been commited to the stable branch or only on the dev branch. Since you didn't specify what version of ES/RetroPie you have installed, you should first try to update your installation and see if you can reproduce the error.

                      Ok, this means you already have the latest stable ES version.
                      I have checked and the folder scraping fix seems to be only on the development branch.
                      If you want to get rid of the scraping error and not wait for the next stable version, then you can install the emulationstation-dev package from the Experimental section of the RetroPie setup. This will compile it from source, so the installation will take some time, but it will get you the version with the fix.
