RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - Duimon - 2019-08-08 (2019-08-05, 08:10)malte Wrote:When I tested it before I pointed it to real description file and it worked. I also tried a description XML with just a header (as was suggested somewhere) and it failed. I haven't tried to point it to a dummy file that is not an XML file. I will do so.(2019-08-05, 00:07)Duimon Wrote: I think you are misunderstanding me. The way it is in my current setup, I have all my artwork (much of it custom) in predefined folders. I have my ROMs where I want them. I have an NFO folder configured. If I want to add a new smaller System to the line-up I can manually create NFO files and quickly import everything into RCB by selecting the local NFO file method. (No addition files are needed, only the proper settings) I can without very much trouble (Only time) even re-import all 8000 ROMs and 37 systems. With the new method RCB asks for an additional xml games list to actually import games, then it does indeed pull game descriptions from my NFO files. I have found the instructions to obtain these XML files but they are using scene naming standards, I am not. I see no benefit in the new xml requirement. I suppose I could come up with an automatic way to create an XML in the proper format based on my ROMs but please, why should I have to? You obviously wrote the code requiring the new XML. I am having a hard time understanding why you seemingly don't understand the change I am referencing.If you have your nfo files and artwork in place there is no need for any additional files. Just choose any scraper in the import or config dialog (online or offline does not matter as it isn't used anyway). If you choose offline you will be asked to point RCB to an additional description file (I think this is the point that we are talking about). But in this dialog you can point to any file, it can even be a picture or anything else. This file won't be used during import process if you import your games with nfo files. On a side note. I have been having trouble convincing the developer of Aeon MQ8 that some problems I have been having are a skin bug. In case they really aren't... do you have any idea why RCB wont play gameplay videos or remember view settings in MQ8? RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - malte - 2019-08-08 Make sure that you enable the setting "prefer local nfo files if available" before you import the games. I will look into the mq8 issue.

Cant get proper names list on most games after scanning Mame roms. Id sent you some pictures some time ago about mame problem. Most games just get the rom filename instead of proper name. I will configure mame on rcb again and send you some pictures. Only a few get the proper name. Problem atm is I have invisible items ui on rcb on kodi 19, it will be a little hard to add a rom collection. Will see what can I do.

I did as you recommended. I installed 2.2.3, went through the setup process, selected the "artwork and info are both local" setting, pointed to all my artwork, and when asked for "GAME-DATABASE-INFO" selected a dummy.png, and no games were found. This is the problem I had before that could only be resolved with a database.xml. I have my NFO folder defined and "prefer local nfo files if available".

I tested exactly this and it worked as expected. Can you show me a log file after you tried to import your games? Please make sure that you enable Kodi debug logging. Otherwise I won't see any RCB data in the log.

Edit: seems the new build this feature works, must have missed that. Also the fix that was posted for view mode works. All I need now is the gameplay videos working. Actually... the only artwork that is being shown is the poster icons at the bottom (Multiplex View) no fanart, screenshots, video or anything else. I am convinced that this is an MQ8 Issue and can get everything to work with the MQ7 Mod and confluence RCB skin but miss the consistent interface setting of MQ7 before Leia. I have put another request in at the MQ8 thread. Maybe someone who knows someone can ask the right person to take a look. Please.

Thank you for your help, it was invaluable. Well. It turns out MQ8 works almost fine with the version of RBC in the official repository. (I guess I can't really fault them for not updating the MQ8 RCB skin files) The only problem I have left is it still won't play gameplay videos. Any suggestions?

I posted the solution in the MQ8 thread... here Everything works using RCB 2.1.3 as it used to in MQ7. Edit: Seems the additional artwork doesn't display on the info screen :-( Not perfect but I think I can live with it if I have to. I really have no idea where to start looking to fix that.
