sselph scraper - is it possible to use custom commands via gui
-
Using the scraper via RetroPie GUI doesn't allow any extra commands to be added
Basically I want to add more 'workers' instead of the default 1, but unless I run it directly via the command line it appears the default worker is 1. I'm running on an RPI3 so 4 workers is suggested but not sure if this is automatic in the scraper if its detected what RPI you are running on and auto adjusts the number of workers to suit
Also, if I change the default scraper database and scrape again will it update all images if you change to a different database or just the ones that may be missing if not in one database but found in another
I've scraped my ROMs using the ScreenScraper database instead of the default TheGamesDB, so if I scrape again using TheGamesDB to scan to be absolutely certain all possible artwork is added will it overwrite existing artwork or just fill in the missing ones
Thanks

@steptoe you can specify whatever command flags your want manually from the terminal. The GUI is just a few preconfigured flags.

@steptoe when launched via retropie-setup the scraper will use 4 workers.

Thanks for the advice on workers being 4 from the GUI
But, if I scrape using one game database then scrape again using a different game database will it only replace any missing artwork or replace all artwork with the ones from the new database I choose
Thanks

@steptoe there are flags to specify whether to overwrite or only scrape missing.
