RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - Odigo - 2015-03-11

I'm having a issue with Kodi returning as a small window. I've even tried running the emulators in "standalone" mode. Any suggestions? I've did a little search online and found others having this issue however found no solution.

@Soujirou Seta try pointing directly to the emulator exe file and not a link.

@Odigo have you tried rcb's 'solo mode' ? It will quit kodi then relaunch it so it will open full screen.

Sorry by standalone I meant Solo mode. It didn't make a difference Sad


RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - teeedubb - 2015-03-11

Are you sure kodi was quit?

Hmm it doesn't work in cmd. It say liberetro_path not set even though the path is set to the ":\cores" directory

During setting the paths up I navigated to "C:\RetroArch\cores" to tell it where they are.

When I open up my retroarch.cfg it also shows a path as being selected.

Anyone got any ideas??

This is my launch command

"C:\RetroArch\retroarch.exe" "-f -L C:\RetroArch\cores\picodrive
_libretro.dll" "%ROM%"

Sorry for my English ^^

Gotham---Aeon MQ5 -- RCB 2.0.17 --OK

Impossible "Save Config"
Touch C / Edit Rom Collection / Finish / Save Config does no work

Thanks

The category titles are out of alignment on my screen, is this a known issue?


RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - geopgin - 2015-03-12

Hi malte,

Having issues with views, If i leave rcb open and unengaged every 10 minutes or so the view switches from showcase (52) to files (50).

Link to screenshot

This maybe the same as issue but there isn't enough details to tell. Either way it seems that there is a job running that seems to be interferring with RCB.

[env]
AFTV -> SPMC 14.1 -> CCM Helix (skin) -> RCB 2.1.2 -> Night: Showcase

As for the RCB logging, there isn't anything that helps.

13:06:28 T:1661813128 NOTICE: RCB_DEBUG: onFocus: 52
13:06:28 T:1661813128 NOTICE: RCB_INFO: End showGameInfo
.
.
13:09:35 T:1661813128 NOTICE: RCB_DEBUG: onFocus: 50

So I originally thought it had to do with screensaver but using this grep found that there are several instances that screensaver is not invoked. This is the grep i used

RCB_DEBUG: onFocus: 52|RCB_DEBUG: onFocus: 50|message OnScreensaverActivated

Briefly looking around surrounding logs i see a few consistencies but having very little experience with xbmc/rcb/android i'm not real sure what i'm looking at or for. Here are some of the things i see regularly.


RCB_DEBUG: onFocus: 52|RCB_DEBUG: onFocus: 50|DEBUG: CGUIMediaWindow::GetDirectory \(\)|DEBUG: ParentPath = \[\]

This seems consistent

spmc.log.rcb8(95666): 13:06:28 T:1661813128 NOTICE: RCB_DEBUG: onFocus: 52
spmc.log.rcb8(96262): 13:09:35 T:1529454192 DEBUG: CGUIMediaWindow::GetDirectory ()
spmc.log.rcb8(96263): 13:09:35 T:1529454192 DEBUG: ParentPath = []
spmc.log.rcb8(96264): 13:09:35 T:1661813128 NOTICE: RCB_DEBUG: onFocus: 50

RCB_DEBUG: onFocus: 52|RCB_DEBUG: onFocus: 50|libImageLib

There seems to always be either a loading or unloading of libImageLib-arm.so but never seems to be placed in logs in the same pattern

spmc.log.rcb8(95666): 13:06:28 T:1661813128 NOTICE: RCB_DEBUG: onFocus: 52
spmc.log.rcb8(95942): 13:06:56 T:1529454192 DEBUG: SECTION:UnloadDelayed(DLL: libImageLib-arm.so)
spmc.log.rcb8(95943): 13:06:56 T:1529454192 DEBUG: Unloading: /libImageLib-arm.so
spmc.log.rcb8(96264): 13:09:35 T:1661813128 NOTICE: RCB_DEBUG: onFocus: 50
spmc.log.rcb8(96265): 13:09:35 T:1529454192 DEBUG: SECTION:LoadDLL(libImageLib-arm.so)
spmc.log.rcb8(96266): 13:09:35 T:1529454192 DEBUG: Loading: /data/app-lib/com.semperpax.spmc-1/libImageLib-arm.so

And this is very consistent as well

RCB_DEBUG: onFocus: 52|RCB_DEBUG: onFocus: 50|DEBUG: Checking repositories for updates

There are various issues that occur within the job from above.


I'm going to trying and resolve some of the issues with the repo.


Anyway I have tons of logs let me know if you want them


RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - geopgin - 2015-03-12

Okay so after disabling "Pulsar Unofficial Repo", I haven't had a recurrence, mind you it has only 40+ minutes. Still it was pretty consistent on timing.

[log snip]
DEBUG: Checking repositories for updates (triggered by Pulsar Unofficial Repo)

I'll give 24hrs and report back


RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - methos1 - 2015-03-12

Hello I'm having trouble adding a collection of PC games

I followed the wiki guide it seem pretty straightforward but no games were added

I'm hoping I just did something wrong.

I created a folder with all of my game launcher shortcuts the .exe
I used the mask *.Ink and created a artwork folder
When I go to import the collection nothing happens

Is this correct?

frankfurts Wrote:This is my launch command

Your launch command should look like this (look at the position of "):
Code:
"C:\RetroArch\retroarch.exe" -f -L "C:\RetroArch\cores\picodrive_libretro.dll" "%ROM%"
If this does not work either you could try with placing "%ROM%" at the beginning and/or specifying the path to your config file. My command looks like this:
Code:
"%ROM%" -c "C:\Program Files\Emulatoren\retroarch-win32-0.9.8-beta2\retroarch.cfg" -f -D -L libretro-git-genplus-x86.dll

This is an issue of your skin. There have been changes in new RCB releases that have not been reflected in all skin files. (The skinners are not to blame, I just informed them yesterday)
As a workaround you need to switch to Confluence to save your changes and then go back to your original skin.

Did you try it via command line with the exact command that RCB uses? See here.

Not sure what titles you are talking about. Can you go into detail?

I will check this too. Looks like you have found the reason for a long annoying issue: link

It must *.lnk not *.Ink. (L vs I)

I"ll move the discussion to that thread, maybe we can bring it back when/if cause is found.
