Gamebrowser - Will not scrape metadata for N64

[hattrick10 1]

As the title of this post states, MB server refuses to pull metadata for my entire Nintendo 64 collection.  I can manually identify the game through the editor and then all meta is pulled correctly.  This is going to take me forever to do this to every game I have for the N64.  Other systems seem to function as expected.  The majority of the ROMS are identified correctly with only roughly 20% of them needing manual identification from me.  The only thing that is different in my N64 setup is that all ROMS have been left in the .zip format.  Could this be causing the issue?

Im having issues with some of my titles not being found, how do you manually search for the titles? (sorry to thread jack just seems you know what your doing)

I think what he means by manually searching is editing the metadata in the web client, specifically changing the GamesDb Id: so it will pull the metadata.

 

Just visit http://thegamesdb.net/ and search for the game, in the url box it will have something like http://thegamesdb.net/game/216/ where 216 is the id you want to use. Just an example with Super Mario 64.

I've been having the same problem and I think the metadata provider might be the reason for it: http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/31227-gamebrowser-metadata/
