Game systems not working.

[heksesang 10]

I can't decide if this problem belongs with Server or Theater, so here goes. I get a blank menu under Game System when trying to add an external player.

 

It seems this route on the server returns an empty JSON array: /Games/SystemSummaries

And I assume this is the route that should have returned that list for the Theater app. I haven't figured out why it doesn't return anything yet.

 

I have added a folder with Wii ISOs to a library, I have added Nintendo Wii as system, pointing to that folder in Gamebrowser, and the server shows the games like it should. But I still get no system to choose from when trying to set up the external player, meaning I cannot actually launch the games. :S

If anyone know an answer that lets me avoid debugging a lot, it would be cool.

make sure the user logged into theater has access to the games. to verify this, try logging in with that same user to built-in web app

Yes. I only have one user, so I know it's the same being used everywhere. And I can see the games listed. I just can't set up an external player.

 

Where does the server define what game systems should be available in that list? What are the criteria for a system showing up in the list?

Okay, so the method seems to look through the database for GameSystem objects. But there are none in my library.db at least. Have I forgot to set something up on the server, as it seems to lack the objects? Or are they in another db file?

Did you install the GameBrowser plug-in?

Did you install the GameBrowser plug-in?

Yes. I have installed Gamebrowser on the server, I have added the folder with games (as Wii platform) in the config of the plugin. Just as I said in the first post.
