Gamebrowser

[Luke 37022]

Okay, I had NES all finished with artwork and metadata. It took me several hours to complete it manually since the scraping from TGDB doesn't work very well and accurate.  All of that has disappeared after the last server update. Not sure how. Just very disappointed how it got all lost.

 

Is there away that these artwork and metadata to be saved as nfo files that this could not happen again?

 

Also, any chance someone able to see the issue why the external players not working on the different platforms other than just NES?

 

Thank you.

 

Can you help diagnose the issue? Find the ET install folder, then locate the main.js file by searching within. Then find a line that is something like

// mainWindow.openDevTools();

Remove the two // from the beginning, save and start the app. Now it will run with a debugger console embedded. Try to play and see if it produces any errors. Thanks !

Not a problem.

Okay, I looked into it and not really good at trying to find the cause would be but here's a start.

 

When I play under NES platform, it will do a shellstart command electronapphost://shellstart?path

 

Under SNES platform, it will not show a shellstart command.

 

If this not enough, could you point me into the right spot. I know in the Audit, it shows quite a lot of errors if that helps with what you need.

 

 

Thanks

Can you grab a screenshot of the errors? thanks.

[cash84 4]

This is part of the list. If you want all of it, I can take more screenshots.

[Luke 37022]

What about the console tab? that is where the actual application problems would be.

[cash84 4]

I'm getting a hang of this now

 

I found the error it's showing. hope this helps

 

 

[Luke 37022]

do you have game.xml metadata files for those games? If so, do they contain a GameSystem value?

[cash84 4]

the only metadata that I would have would be coming from default. So I didn't add anything like that.

[Luke 37022]

Ok but i'm still asking the same question.

[cash84 4]

Okay I'm trying to find it and not having any luck. Would you know what folder structure it would be in if I had one?

[Luke 37022]

it would be in the same folder as your game. it's not required to work i was just curious.

[cash84 4]

Ahh okay, Yeah there's nothing there in any of the games

Please help me

If it's getting replaced automatically, it's probably due to being invalid xml.

@@cash84 @@Luke sorry i had a bunch of work since my last question and haven't been able to mess around with getting my games working. I am still having the loading wheel issue with all of my Roms

If you are still willing to help me out, focusing on the genesis emulator would be helpful. I feel like once i get one of them working i will have more of an understanding and be able to get the others working as well. I am using Fusion364 emulator and this is what my external player setting looks like in Emby Theater 2.5.32
Thank you

[Luke 37022]

Have you researched line arguments required by fusion?

[frankmomma 2]

I have been looking for a while now and pretty much everything i am finding looks like this:  -gen -auto -fullscreen
 

Which still doesnt work.
