A way to find missing Artwork inside folders
-
Hi guys, I am using Skyscraper, great tool, but I like to use my own resized artwork downloaded from the internet, my question is, is there a way to "audit" my artwork folders to know if there is something missing like videos, logos, boxart, etc (like the HyperDetective tool for Hyperspin) ? the artwork I found sometimes has a different name compared with the rom's name, and there are systems with hundreds of games, checking in ES if each game has video/logo/boxart is a very time consuming job, thanks in advance my friends !!!!!

Ex.:
Skyscraper -p snes --cache report:missing=video -
@sleve_mcdichael Thanks for the quick answer, I have a basic question, where can I execute that command? all I obtain in CLI is a error message
pi@retropie:~ $ Skyscraper -p snes --cache report:missing=video -bash: Skyscraper: command not found pi@retropie:~ $ pi@retropie:~ $ sudo Skyscraper -p snes --cache report:missing=video sudo: Skyscraper: command not found pi@retropie:~ $ cd /opt/retropie/supplementary/skyscraper/ pi@retropie:/opt/retropie/supplementary/skyscraper $ Skyscraper -p snes --cache report:missing=video -bash: Skyscraper: command not found pi@retropie:/opt/retropie/supplementary/skyscraper $ sudo Skyscraper -p snes --cache report:missing=video sudo: Skyscraper: command not found pi@retropie:/opt/retropie/supplementary/skyscraper $I assume that I can't use Skyscraper via CLI for some reason, but I can use it calling retropie-setup via cli first:
sudo ./RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.shThen I go to - C Configuration Tools -> 230 Skyscraper and thats it, I don't know why I cant use it via CLI, help me please

According to the documentation page:
https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Scraper/#using-skyscraper
The path should be/opt/retropie/supplementary/skyscraper/Skyscraper
so you were really close.The reason it wouldn't work is because the operating system is only configured to look in certain folders for executable scripts/programs. So you either have to launch them from the folder where they actually are, reference them with an absolute path, or add a new location to your configuration.

@YFZdude is right, you need to use the full path to
Skyscraper. Also, do not usesudowithSkyscraper, it will not work correctly. -
See:
NOTE! If you've installed Skyscraper through the RetroPie-Setup script, it is recommended to create a symbolic link to the executable. Do this by running
sudo ln -s /opt/retropie/supplementary/skyscraper/Skyscraper /usr/local/bin/Skyscraper. This will allow you to just typeSkyscraperwhen running it from command line.As mentioned, don't run it as
sudo, that will make everything it does be owned by super-user "root," and then regular user "pi" is going to have a hard time. (If you already have done this, you can probably fix the permissions with asudo chown -R pi:pi <directory>on the~/.skyscraper/cacheand~/.emulationstationdirectories. If you have set it to use theromsdir for gamelists or media files, do thechowncommand on~/RetroPie/romstoo.) -

According to the documentation page:
https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Scraper/#using-skyscraper
The path should be/opt/retropie/supplementary/skyscraper/Skyscraper
so you were really close.Skyscraper(big "S") is the executable./opt/retropie/supplementary/skyscraper(little "s") is the right directory, where the executable livesThe only reason it didn't work when they tried it from there is because executables in Linux (unless they are in the system path) need to be prefaced by a full or relative path, including
./if it's in the current directory.pi@retropie:~ $ cat test.sh #! /bin/bash echo It Works!! pi@retropie:~ $ test.sh -bash: test.sh: command not found pi@retropie:~ $ ./test.sh It Works!! pi@retropie:~ $So you either have to launch them from the folder where they actually are, reference them with an absolute path, or add a new location to your configuration.
(Or symlink the executable in your system path, as recommended in Skyscraper's help docs.)

@sleve_mcdichael @mitu @YFZdude Thank you guys for all your kindly help, check this out:
I don't have a skyscraper folder inside /opt/retropie/supplementary/skyscraper folder:

Thats a little weird, but then I saw the las post from @sleve_mcdichael about execute the command with "./" and worked like a charm:
