Skyscraper help

[jadams]

Everything seems to be working ok with it except for descriptions. When I tell it to download all the images/videos the description is always blank and then when generating the gamelist I can see in the xml the desc field is blank.

Am I missing something? The only thing I've done is add my user/pass for screenscraper and then told it to ignore wheel images.

@jadams what platform and source (nvm I see screenscraper -- what platform and game(s)?) do you use? I just tested arcade frogger.zip on screenscraper and got a description:

$ /opt/retropie/supplementary/skyscraper/Skyscraper -p arcade -s screenscraper ~/RetroPie/roms/arcade/frogger.zip

Description: ()
'Frogger is a one or two-player game in which players must overcome a number of hazards to safely guide the green amphibian from the bottom of the screen to one of five home bases situated at the top of the screen.

A round is completed once five frogs have been guided safely home, after which the next round begins with an increased level of difficulty. This includes faster-moving vehicles on the road section and new, deadly hazards on the river section, including crocodiles, otters and snakes.'
