Gamebrowser 3 classic dll weirdness

[porkbone 38]

This doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but maybe one of you can look at this and see the problem.

 

I have 2 win7 pc's in the house, 1 Emby server with emby classic & gb3 not working & the other just has emby classic & gb3 that completely works (all my emulators and windows games). Both Emby classics are at version 3.0.269.0 & GameBrowser Classic version 3.0.0.42 installed.

I tried to copy the config xml from the working pc to the non working gb3 pc and started Emby classic and entered games. All the emulators would not start after hitting play on any game and would give me a pop up window saying Windows could not launch this game due to an unknown problem. Windows games there was no way to select play - it only would show Cast. I would then shut down Emby & WMC and go into the configuration folder inside the Plugins folder in ProgramData\Mediabrowser-Classic and it had created a new Gamebrowser.xml file and renamed my original one as Gamebrowser.xml.old. If I tried to edit it and try again to play any game it would do the same thing.

So I looked at the Gamebrowser-Classic.dll on both pc's. Both are the same size and version 3.0.0.42, but the dates were different. The working gb3 dll was dated 2.8.15 & the non working one was dated 5.18.15 - I had recently tried uninstalling and reinstalling it to try to fix whatever was wrong. I replaced the non working dll with the working dll from the other computer and now all games are working again.

I was even able to edit and add a new windows game and it works!

 

Super happy now, but confused. I'm uploading both dll's so maybe the pro's can figure this out.

 

Also - if any of you have similar problems with GB3 classic and want to try the old dll, be my guest.

The GameBrowser plugin has been updated with a new configuration screen to match the look and feel of the rest of Emby Server. I think you'll find it much more enjoyable to use and configure now. 

 

We are looking for contributors who might be interested in helping with other GameBrowser development, so if that's something you'd like to help out with then please let us know.

 

Thanks !
