List of changes:

General

• Edit Rom Collection: workaround to update button labels with empty strings
  

Import Games

• update moby scraper: reflect changes on page
  

Launch Games

• add option to suspend audio before launching games
  
• add option to toggle screen mode before launching games
  

This release should fix the mobygames scraper again. It may happen that it will break again as there are still some changes on the site.

The Edit Rom Collection fix is also meant to be a temporary one. There are some issues with deleting text in the Edit Rom Collection dialog. This is due to the behaviour of XBMCs Button Control as I posted here. I hope that this can be fixed in XBMC some day. For the time being I hope my workaround will suffice.

The new options in Launch Games have been added as some users reported issues with RCBs default behaviour. So, if you have trouble with launching games, these two options could be worth to play with.

There are still some fixes in my pipeline. I hope that there will be another release soon.

Note: I can't provide new RCB releases on Google Codes download page anymore. You should use the direct link above to download RCBs latest version or you can use RCBs repository to get latest test releases: link to repository


@trnzaddict: this release should fix you issues as well.

Previous version: 2.0.11

Thank you!

Looks like the games have been imported already and RCB won't do it again. Can you try to enable the option "Rescrape already imported games" in Addon settings?

It seems that there is only 96 different games being imported, while i have over 700 in the folder. I recognizes the 96 just fine, but it just won't pick up the ones it hasn't scraped already.

However, when I try to change the rom collection to edit, all the option remain fixed on the first rom collection. Does that make sense?

I can reproduce this. This happens only on "Launch Games" tab. Others seem to work. I will see how to fix this.

Strange. For some reason I cannot reproduce this issue anymore. Can you show me a log when this happens again to you? I will also test some more but right now it does not happen to me.

ok Malte, sorry it took a while to get back to you.

The games I tried scraping are Gyruss, Koffi Yellow Copter and Castle Crisis for the Atari 5200 I think. I read the log myself, it is coming up with many errors and warning when trying to
parse info from Moby Games on these titles. Like I said it finds them but can't suck it off the site.

there's the log.

I just realised that it only happens when I use "Aeon MQ5", not "Confluence". Did something change that would have broken it in 3rd party skins?

Ok, it looks like there is some misbehaviour with the max folder depth parameter. Can you try to set it to 999 in Edit Rom Collection dialog?

2) is there a way, once setup and all is good to backup RCB and restore it on another device (currently looking into 3 android devices)

Solid One Wrote:However, I have a question: Is there any option to add a delay for playing videos after focusing a game in the list? I mean, the videos are played right away, and sometimes this can make game browsing experience slow when I press "Left" or "Right" key a lot of times in a row. If there's a little video delay, this slowdown will decrease.

But the delay is not configurable right now. Maybe it is too short for slower systems?

I'm using Confluence. Tested Aeon Nox too, but I got some issues (such as no video playback support).

Now that you said that there's already a delay for this, I checked and confirmed there's really a delay between game focus and video showing. However, it's very short.

I guess that the delay is of approximately 250ms (or less), and for slower systems it can make a pain to navigate on interface.

You said that it's not configurable right now, but can I increase this delay by editing a few files? I don't mind editing python or XML files for that.

1) Android support is still being worked on. The thread that you mentioned shows one way to get it working on the Ouya and it still needs some manual modification on RCBs source files to get it working. I never tested this myself as I don't own an Ouya.

Right now I am trying to get it working on my Android phone and if I will be able to do it I will try to get it done without the need to change any source files by the user. But atm I am not very confident that I will succeed. I am not that deep into Android and right now I guess I am struggling with very basic stuff. Maybe I can tell you more some days/weeks later.

2) If you use the exact same locations for your rom files, artwork and emulators you should be able to copy your config.xml and MyGames.db to another device. You should also copy all artwork that RCB downloaded to the other devices.
