Scraping no longer working due to old api
-
@quicksilver Something definitely changed on the API side, I've sent an inquiry to their forums and I have a fixed version that I'm testing.
-
I've added a fix and - it seems - the API code was also fixed for an error. It's not in the stable branch, yet.
-
@quicksilver can you give it another test with ScreenScraper when you have the time (no updates should be necessary) ?
-
@quicksilver where is that option that makes the disappeared images show up again?
-
@naddel81 Change the Gamelist View Style in the UI options.
-
thanks, good to know. so the internal scraper is back for good and I should fire up my retropie to update?
-
@naddel81 Pretty much yes. Now you'll have the option to use either TheGamesDB or ScreenScraper in the internal scraper.
-
just updated to the latest build, but the internal gamesDB scraper cannot be changed to screenscraper in the UI (ES). what am I doing wrong? I just want to add covers to the games that gamesDB cannot find.
-
@naddel81 what version of retropie are you on?
-
4.4.7? the latest commit.
-
@naddel81 and you updated emulation station from binary? When you press start and go to scraper you can't arrow over and change to screenscraper?
-
I updated all internals through retropie-setup script. EmulationStation is now 2.8.x and no there is no screenscraper to choose. only gamesDB in the ES UI.
-
@mitu it appears screenscraper is working properly now. Thanks!
-
@quicksilver where can I choose screenscraper for the internal scraper? I only have gamesDB to select unfortunately.
-
@naddel81 Can you show a screenshot of the scraper settings ? You should be able to push left/right (or
A) to toggle between them. -
I guess a restart fixed it. the second scraper is now available, but unfortunately he does not find the missing covers just as gamesDB didn't.
for example "metroid 2 - the return of samus" on GB. I cannot add it's cover. even if I search for only "metroid". -
@naddel81 What's the name of the ROM file ?
EDIT: you have the wrong ROM name, it's METROID 2 - RETURN OF SAMUS, there's no the. -
but when I click on INPUT and enter only "metroid", it should show me results. but it doesn't.
-
@naddel81 I'm not sure about the TGDB scraper, but using ScreenScraper will search by the ROM name.
-

it's not as intuitive as a google search. for example if you type pacman, it doesn't come up with ms pacman as a result, just pacman.
