I can see these lines in your log: I had another try at adding my mame collection afer upgrading from Frodo RC2 -> RC3, to no avail. I noticed that my /users/.../AppData/roaming/xbmc/ folder was read only for some strange reason but changing that hasnt helped - in the folder properties it keeps on going back to read only, even if I change it, although I am able to edit files within that directory. Here is the log file from this try. It looks the same as the last, with no indication of anything going wrong. I also had a look in the 'Deete Rom Collection' option to see if maybe remnants of mame were still lingering in the system, but found no mention of mame. Cleaning the database now to see if that helps. Im stumped... Anyone have any suggestions as what I could do? Its looking like I may need to delete RCB and start again... EDIT: Cleaning the database hasnt helped RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - rob hodge - 2013-01-06 finally managed to get sound working with the help of this page: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=90221 now, if i could just get the focus to go to the emulator that RCB launches instead of staying in xbmc i'd be well on my way. i might have to try advanced launcher. so, anyone have any suggestions there? also, solo mode is not working for me. the emulator starts up and xbmc fires right back up with it running in the background. xbmc puts up an error message that the remote communications server failed to start. RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - malte - 2013-01-06 WoSaK Wrote:Thanks for that. Is there anyway to rename it? I've edited the .NFO file, but RCB doesnt seem to pick up any of my changes, and when I Import again, and change the scraper to local NFO it just says done, but nothing changes. It is also not importing my Pokemon Gold, when it was before automatically or locally.Just rename the rom file itself. That should help. ron975 Wrote:RCB isn't working for me. It scrapes the images and info, but no ROMs are shown in the browser.Do the roms show up when you change some filter settings? E.g. changing the console? atgm Wrote:Now my problem is that XBMC won't reopen after I close an emulator. Is there a way to fix that?What do you mean with reopen? It does not get the focus back or do you use solo mode and get an error message? atgm Wrote:Edit: rob hodge, if you want to try Frodo again, this is how I got it working: http://www.corporate-sellout.com/index.p...bmc-frodo/This issue is fixed with the latest test releases. Current release 1.1.1 is also marked as "stable" version for Eden and Frodo. I just did not add it to the XBMC repo yet. teeedubb Wrote:I had another try at adding my mame collection afer upgrading from Frodo RC2 -> RC3, to no avail.

I will check if this is an error in your config or a bug in the script. rob hodge Wrote:now, if i could just get the focus to go to the emulator that RCB launches instead of staying in xbmc i'd be well on my way. i might have to try advanced launcher.What OS are you using? Can you show me a log file of launching the game (solo and non-solo mode)? RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - malte - 2013-01-06 @teeedubb: Ok, found it. It is a mixture of a bug in RCB and your configuration. There was an error in updating an old config.xml structure to a new one and because of that there are some MAME specific infos missing in your config.xml file. You should add these lines to your ImagePlacing options in config.xml: Code: <fileTypeFor name="gameinfomamecabinet"> I also fixed the bug in RCB but as this is a really special one I guess it is ok to put it in one of the next releases. If you have issues adding these line just let me know.

If I start a game, it goes to desktop and starts the emu. Then when I close the emu, it just sits at the desktop.

RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - KingTomaHawk - 2013-01-06 Hi, thanks for your answer. Yes RCB runs on the Rpi and it can launch the emu, but i runs in the background. Yes i think, the Rpi has no Window-manager, that might be the problem. Is there a terminal command to switch between processes, this could be my solution. RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - malte - 2013-01-06 rob hodge Wrote:here's the tail end of the log when launched solo modeLooks ok so far. Just make sure that applaunch.sh is executable and maybe try to disable "Escape emulator cmd" in addon settings. rob hodge Wrote:and, non solo modeAlso looks good. I have to set up my own ubuntu box again to do some more testing. There are several users complaining about focus issues on XBMCbuntu. atgm Wrote:It doesn't give the focus to xbmc. If I start a game, it goes to desktop and starts the emu. Then when I close the emu, it just sits at the desktop.You could try to change the "Use fullscreen window" option in XBMC Settings (Settings -> System -> Video output) and see if this changes anything. atgm Wrote:I'm using 1.1.1 from Google Code and it wasn't fixed...The things that are explained on the site that you linked to have been fixed with version 1.0.6. 100%, believe me . Yes, there is still the line "self.addItem(item, False)" in gui.py, but this is just a comment that will not be executed. The correct line is just next to it.

I checked all changes that I made with 1.1.1 (just two bugfixes) and nothing would explain this behaviour. Well, thats what happened But I did the config in 1.1.0 and it worked after upgrading to 1.1.1 e2zippo Wrote:I just browsed around alot, in Confluence, and suddenly, once in a while, I get this mate Wrote:I could reproduce this now. That's great, I'm sure you'll figure it out! e2zippo Wrote:Since i started from scratch, I have tried importing my videos again, and I got it working for GBA, but when I try to scrape local artwork for my SNES & NES collection i get malte Wrote:This error was fixed with release 1.1.1. As I think your issue above is not related to release 1.1.1 you should update again and see if it will work with this one. It worked with 1.1.1, great! There's just a couple of issues left now (damn frodo, everything worked great in Eden ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In Aeon Nox 4.0.6 (repo version) I can't get any games to load, it just stays at "loading" I get this in the log Code: 19:05:57 T:3044 NOTICE: RCB_INFO: onAction: 7 Also, I seem unable to return to XBMC after i quit a game, I just stay on desktop, I've tried locating any interfering programs, but my setup looks exactly the same since Eden, and it all worked good there. Full screen setting is set to "true fullscreen" not a window, since that causes tearing in movies, so it's not really an option. I also tried solo mode and I recieve this error when XBMC is about to launch again. "CApplication::Create() failed - check log file and that it is writable" Cheers malte and thanks again for you impeccable support!

I hope somebody else has an idea what is going on. e2zippo Wrote:In Aeon Nox 4.0.6 (repo version) I can't get any games to load, it just stays at "loading"Same here. Already found the reason and have to talk to the Aeon Nox guys who should fix this. e2zippo Wrote:Also, I seem unable to return to XBMC after i quit a game, I just stay on desktop, I've tried locating any interfering programs, but my setup looks exactly the same since Eden, and it all worked good there.Ok, same here when I use true fullscreen. I have to check why this does not work anymore. e2zippo Wrote:I also tried solo mode and I recieve this error when XBMC is about to launch again.In some cases this could be fixed with just writing "explorer" at the beginning of the XBMC launch command in applaunch.bat. If this does not help, you could try to replace the applaunch.bat with the scripts from RCBs google code page: link. |
