Should be current with the new context menu with both Night and The Carmichael...
- JColks - 2011-01-27
I got this working for me for about a day. As I went to go spruce up my collection and add roms, something went horribly wrong and the script failed. Now, no matter what I do, even if I delete everything in the Appdata folder, etc., it still gives me a "script error". I am a total newbie, but I prefer RCB over ALA or Romulon so so much! Can anyone help a brother out?

Both! I'm afraid I'm still too newbish to know where the log files are, but if indicate where to find em, I'm sure I can copy/paste it. I'm very tech savvy. Thanks in advance for the help!!
- malte - 2011-01-27
You'll find a file "xbmc.log" in your appdata\roaming\xbmc folder. Reproduce the problem with RCB and copy/paste the content of the file to http://pastebin.com/ and post the link here.
If your XBMC is running for a while it would be a good idea to restart it before you reproduce the error. This will start with a clean log file.

Looks like an encoding issue. Could you check if there are files with "unusual" characters under this path: "C:\\Documents and Settings\\The Colkys\\My Documents\\epsxe170\\epsxe\\Roms" ?

Unusual like weird lettering?
like ! and brackets? or like crazy letters and symbols?
- malte - 2011-01-28
No, "!" and brackets will be ok. What sometimes causes problems are characters that only occur in certain languages like "äöü`´°^". If you say it worked before you should double check the roms that you added after it was working.

Tested both skins and it works great! Thanks a lot!
I noticed that there is already video support in Carmichael. Is this also available in Night? Could not find it.
One issue that I noticed in the Night skin: If I change to the Slide view there is no way out. I can't change filter settings or switch to another view.
- cyberdad - 2011-01-29
I accidentally entered the wrong path to my roms during RCB first run. Now RCB starts and is completely empty.
The problem is I can not find a way to fix the wrong path. I can not find config.xml anywhere. I tried reinstalling, deleting the install dir, importing games... nothing works.
Is there a way to force RCB to reinitialize itself?
PS: I am running dharma on win7 32bit

Carmichael must just be how I have things coded by default as I didnt specifically code it, Night I havent really decided how i want to handle video...
Slide view - I put it in, checked that it looked good and positioning of the labels but actually didn't click the options, lol. Just assumed those were fine. Ah, as I type I know what happen, I still have the <onup>/<ondown> coded for Video library...

Delete the config.xml in \XBMCportable\XBMC\portable_data\userdata
for Portable version...
or if you installed dharma C:\Users\WhateverYourNameIs\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\addon_data\script.games.rom.collection.browser
Note that you have in Windows "File and Folder Options" show protected files and show hidden folders marked

Actually, config.xml was inside the active profile folder in addon_data folder. That is why I missed it. Thank you.
Now it doesn't import any of my roms, but that is another story, I ll figure it out soon enough.
- cyberdad - 2011-01-30
ok, I figured it out. Just in case anyone has a similar problem, this is what was wrong with my setup:
My roms collection resides in my windows home server. To access my files from xbmc I have setup various sources.
During the RCB wizard I used these sources as the paths for the various settings that need a path. After running the RCB wizard, the configuration was saved in config.xml.
The paths in config xml were in the form:
smb://Username
assword@FILESERVER/WhateverPathThis path form is not working. The correct path form is
//FILESERVER/WhateverPath
I hope this saves someone the trouble.
Very nice addon, thank you. I suppose it is already mentioned but anyway, you should really try to make the scraping a background process. It is a terribly long process
