Spaceboy 2557 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 As the title says, everything has been set up correctly. .gbwin files in place, library has been refreshed many times, all paths are correctly set but the windows and dos games are not showing in MBC Configurator to be assigned to the actual executable. I see many people reporting this on the old forum and no proper solution seems to have been given Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 15186 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Do you mean the configuration of GameBrowser Classic? A screen shot of these issues is usually worth more than 1000 words. Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy 2557 Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 hi, its difficult to know what to show you a screen shot of. yes, i'm trying to set up gamebrowser in the configurator of mb classic. everything seems to be on the latest versions. all games have been scanned into the library and show up fine in the web client and also in mb classic. but i understand the next step is to put a file such as game.gbwin in the game folder where i used to have a .lnk file with mb2. i'm then supposed to setup the plugin in mbc configurator, i should see the games showing up in the window on the left of the Windows tab and then link this to the real game .exe. but i cannot see the games to link to the .exe. it seems mb3 is not detecting the .gbwin files but i have refreshed the library several times and tried it from a mbc install on two different pc's. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 15186 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 A screen shot of the screen you are talking about would probably be what would help @@Redshirt figure out what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy 2557 Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 i'm expecting to see all games on the listed on the left that have a game.gbwin file in the folder. there are 19 that should be shown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordy 284 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Hey, just a thought. Have you tried entering the path to your executable first? that might trigger the showing of files/games that it can play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshirt 1487 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Are the emulator games showing up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 15186 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I wonder if this is a display issue as everything looks a bit screwed up in that shot. Do you have your DPI setting bumped up? If so, try taking it down to 100% and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swhitmore 781 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Silly question, have you guys run a refresh after adding the gbwin files? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psmc 8 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 not silly at all..yup, refreshing has been checked by me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshirt 1487 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 There is a potential issue if the MB server has multiple profiles that would stop windows/dos games from showing up in the client plugin. I just need a user on a dev build of server, who is affected, to test. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution Spaceboy 2557 Posted November 11, 2013 Author Solution Share Posted November 11, 2013 hi, this is now fixed. i don't think it was the dpi setting although that did fix another problem i was having! i've been on hols so difficult to know if the recent server update fixed it? i did have the situation redshirt describes, 2 users thanks anyway! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenvalor7 3 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Sorry to bump an old topic but I searched the forums before asking my question (imagine that!) and found this thread. I'm having the same problem as the original poster. game.gbwin files are in each game folder under C:/games/PC/NameofGame, library has been refreshed many times and art and game listings show in MediaBrowser Classic. All paths are correctly set but the windows and dos games are not showing in MBC Configurator to be assigned to the actual executable. Everything had been working fine until I went to add a game today and couldn't. Reading a previous post I deleted a couple .db files and now none show up. Any suggestions? (MediaBrowser Classic Version 3.0.129.0 2-12.2, Gamebrowser 3.0.0.30 and MediaBrowser Server 3.0.5171.19958) Pic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshirt 1487 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'd start by removing the link to C:\Games\PC in the media library, it's redundant as you've already got C:\Games there. Can I see a screenshot of your platform config in the dashboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenvalor7 3 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Originally I didn't have c:/games/pc listed and had just c:/games, i added hoping it would help but it didn't. I just removed the entry. Here's my platform config: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshirt 1487 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Underneath that PC directory you have a directory for each game with a .gbwin file in those directories? Try running the scan media library scheduled task now that you've made the changes and see if they show up after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenvalor7 3 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 That's correct. In the first screenshot there's "Alice Madness Returns" as an example. The path is C:/Games/PC/Alice Madness Returns/game.gbwin. I reran the media library scan but the windows games are still not showing up in Gamebrowser Classic Config.

Redshirt 1487 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I need more info so we can determine which plugin is actually the problem. Client or server. So I need you to right-click on the MB Server icon in the system tray. Then navigate to "View Api Documentation->Swagger". A window will open up in your browser. In the list, find the section called GameBrowser and expand it. Then click /GameBrowser/Games/Windows to expand that. Then click "Try it out!". Can you past what it outputs in the response body section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redshirt 1487 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 OK. So something is wrong with the server setup. Do the games show up properly in the web ui? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
