Okay, friend, hopefully it will happen someday. For now, the plugin is fine. Thanks for replying

Do we have an update as I believe the test version has expired now.

I have had no issues, other than we need support for more systems of cours

I can send you a new copy in PM. I am still waiting to hear back from the Emby team on letting me publish it however. Let me ping them.

I see the beta is done and over. and when I go to play a game it says that I need to download it from the catalog. But its not showing up in the catalog.  Any way to get a download that we now can use?

I have decided to extend the beta another 30 days. Grab the new DLL on this Post

ROMote.dll

@digitalironyAny update on this getting in the store as we are getting close to those 30 days....

This is so sweet. Thank you very much. I've only begun playing around with it but it seems to tick all the boxes for my user base of less tech-savy people that would struggle to setup something themselves.

This is now being published to the emby plugin catalog. You can find the 'official' release there, without any of the beta timers. TBH this is my first emby plugin, and I am not entirely sure how long it will take to actually show up once I have published it. But it is on the way. 

I would recommend uninstalling the beta version from this thread before installing the published version.

Thank you for a great plugin

I have some issues below, maybe my setup?

3do - Does not show up at all. I have tried .iso, .chd do they need to be in a different format?

Example below of roms not loading images, the games do work. 

Then one of the above games

 

Atari 2600, Jaguar, Lynx, Neo Geo Pocket, NES, PlayStation, Game Gear, Pc-Engine all have the same issue.

If you need any logs, or a sample rom, let me know

Two things, both fixed in 1.0.1.1 (attached):

3DO: that one's on me - it wasn't actually wired up yet, so nothing you did was wrong. It's in
now. 3DO needs a BIOS though: in ROMote settings hit "Set up BIOS folders", drop a 3DO BIOS
(panafz1.bin / panafz10.bin / goldstar.bin) into the 3DO folder it makes, and the games will
boot. .chd or .iso in a "3DO" folder both work.

Missing box art: good catch flagging it broadly. When you moved from the beta build to the
official one, the library re-processed, and a change I'd made to speed up big scans accidentally
stopped art-less games from ever retrying their images - so anything whose art hiccuped in that
pass got stuck without a cover (the text/ratings stayed because those are stored separately).
1.0.1.1 makes art self-heal: update, run a Scan Library Files, and the covers should come back.

If any are still blank after that, it's likely the "save artwork into media folders" library
setting writing to a read-only ROM folder - let me know and I'll point you at the fix.

I said attached, but really I will update it in the emby portal.
