EmulationStation removes non-default metadata tags in gamelist.xml
-
I've created my own scrapper for Godot games and I'm adding some extra metadata of my own, like
game-source
,id
, andapi-source
.When I play the game, everything that's not on this list https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/blob/master/es-app/src/MetaData.cpp gets wiped out.
Here's an example:
Before:
<game game-source="https://securas.itch.io/daemon-vs-demon"> <id>197731</id> <api-source>itchio-godot-scraper.now.sh</api-source> <desc>A hack and slash roguelike winner of the 2017 Github Game Off Jam</desc> <developer>securas</developer> <genre>Role Playing</genre> <image>./images/Daemon vs Demon.jpg</image> <name>Daemon vs Demon</name> <publisher>securas</publisher> <rating>4.4</rating> <video>./videos/Daemon vs Demon.mp4</video> <path>./daemon_vs_demon_linux.pck</path> </game>
After:
<game> <path>./daemon_vs_demon_linux.pck</path> <name>Daemon vs Demon</name> <desc>A hack and slash roguelike winner of the 2017 Github Game Off Jam</desc> <image>./images/Daemon vs Demon.jpg</image> <video>./videos/Daemon vs Demon.mp4</video> <rating>4.4</rating> <developer>securas</developer> <publisher>securas</publisher> <genre>Role Playing</genre> <playcount>1</playcount> <lastplayed>20200806T180018</lastplayed> </game>
Is there any way to keep those extra tags?
