Is there a way to manually update thegamesdb.net API in sselph scraper? Or, what else scrapes videos?

[njscorpio]

I had no issue scraping videos for Mame/FBA/Neo Geo, but then I encountered the issue that Sselph scraper isn't updated to the newest API at thegamesdb.net, so it just won't work for any consoles.

My goal is to get videos scraped for consoles/portables, is/was sselph my only option?

Thanks!

@njscorpio You can use other scrapers - Skyscraper (available in RetroPie directly, just as SSelph's scraper) or other external scrapers like UXML, Skraper or ARRM. They all support videos, though I'm not sure if from TGDB (does TGDB support videos ?).

@mitu Thank you, I'll give Skyscraper a shot, its in the optional packages like sselph? I tried earlier today using the built in scraper in the main menu (with TGDB), and it seems to have only pulled cover art. I'd love to have videos for all systems, for use with the Nostalgic theme.

@njscorpio Skyscraper is in the experimental section - make sure you give the Docs a read, it operates a bit differently has more options.

@mitu Thank you again, Skyscraper has been very effective.
