Skyscraper Not scraping some folders for Amiga games
-
Hi
I am having a current issue with Skyscraper 3.2.8 scraping amiga games.
I am using Retropie 4.4.14I have current amiga games in folders in alphabetical order eg A B C D E etc
I run skyscraper and it appears to detect all the files and starts scraping ok.
When it is finished it appears to have missed whole folders eg it will scrape A folder and B but not C folder.
I performed a test where i moved all C file to a separate folder called amiga under C.
I edited the input folder in config.ini and ran skyscraper.
It then detected the C files and ran ok.My question is can I scrape a single folder without having to create an amiga folder under it?
So can I specify the exact folder to scrape.Also has anyone come across this issue.
Regards
Jimi

Hm, looks more like a throttling issue - the scraping is somehow interrupted by the source site somewhere and the rest of the games are not scraped.
What happens if you re-run the scraper ? Are you using the--refresh
option all the time ? this would make Skyscraper re-scrape your already scraped games, ignoring its cached data. -
@mitu Hi I have not tried the --refresh option.
Do you know if this is available in the config.ini? I am running skyscraper through retropie through the UI.
I am currently doing a full scrape again and will try this option after this completes.Regards Jimi

@Jimi007 Actually I'm suggesting to not use this option, since it makes Skyscraper re-scrape already scraped games. What source of scraping are you using ?
-
@mitu I am using Screenscraper as the source and have an account.
I heard open retro database is good for amiga games but I prefer the images in screenscraper. -
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.
