      Linux 5.10.103+ arkv61 on Rpi Zero W.

      I'm not sure if they're related or not but..

      I had noticed I had an error when shutting down that was along the lines of "unable to resolve host." so I Googled around, moved my device right next to the router and changed my hosts file. I don't think im getting the issue anymore, but for some reason when trying to scrape, it stops around 10 - which leads me to believe the wifi crashed again (but may not be the case, I'll admit)

      So it scrapes about 10ish times out of 4,900 and just keeps skipping over ones it can't download (presumably because no internet). I shut down emustation and notice a new error: ScreenScraperRequest - Error parsing XML. No document Element found. I Googled again and found a post on here but the guys sd card was maxed out, mine is at 66%, so its not a solution for me.

      Ah BTW on my router I added the pie's ip to make sure it always gets the same ip and has no conflicts with others. I just looked at my router and it's not connected to the wifi.... Again

      Edit:

      Now that I'm no longer on my phone. The following is what I changed/added in my hosts file:

      127.0.0.1	localhost
      ::1		localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
      ff02::1		ip6-allnodes
      ff02::2		ip6-allrouters
      
      127.0.1.1	retropie

        @jumpy There are numerous reports on the Reddit subs about people having difficulties right now scraping from ScreenScraper. I think the site is very over-loaded at all times of the days.

        So it's not just you :-)

            @ByteThis it's definitely not the scraper. When i'm connected to the internet it runs great. But my pi won't stay connected longer than like 15 minutes. I was told to disable ipv6. Which I thought I did...But I got kicked off again. Reinstalling.
