and causes the above error. there' got be someway of possibly closing each process. or possibly opening only up one cmd/bash process. then throwing the command needed to mame. then close that cmd/bash.. i'll play around.

lsof|grep xbmc.bin will show number of files open.
We could try to close them like this :
Code:
def _test_mame_name( app, filename ):
    if ( app.lower().find('mame') > 0 ):
        try:
            page = subprocess.Popen(app+' -listfull '+filename, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
            output, errors = page.communicate()
            pclose(page)
        except :
            page = subprocess.Popen(app+' -listfull '+filename, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
            output = page.stdout.read()
            pclose(page)
        name = ''.join(re.findall('"(.*?)"', output.replace('\n', '')))
        romname = re.sub(' \(.*?\)', '', name).replace('/','-')
        return romname
    else:
        return filename

ok. i will try that... i added this in the code to try and its still going..

Quote:def _test_mame_name( app, filename ):
if ( app.lower().find('mame') > 0 ):
try:
page = subprocess.Popen(app+' -listfull '+filename, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE,close_fds=True)
output, errors = page.communicate()
except :
page = subprocess.Popen(app+' -listfull '+filename, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE,close_fds=True)
output = page.stdout.read()
name = ''.join(re.findall('"(.*?)"', output.replace('\n', '')))
romname = re.sub(' \(.*?\)', '', name).replace('/','-')
page.stdout.close()
return romname
else:
return filename

but i'm not sure if that's the proper way of doing it.

Never mind it just failed after Posting...err. lol. I'll try your code.

This seems to be working good.. so far. still scanning. i added the polling . then killing the pid with os. Only problem i see with my code is. which i'm far from a expert on python. is i'm expecting the process to terminate properly. if for some reason it doesn't it might build up again. maybe something if poll doesnt return -1 then go into a waiting loop. then possibly kill the pid in a certain amount of time... just thinking out loud.

Ok... I give up the -listfull command line approach. I think I will add a specific scraper for MAME roms. Nod

any idea? thx for any help!

It is strange that you have "\\" on your thumbs paths :
Code:
D:\\Games\\Need For Speed Underground\\Need for Speed: Underground_thumb.jpg
. It seems to create an error into the refresh thumb cache function. Could you please pastebin your launchers.xml file. It may be will help me to identify the error source. Thank you.

Version 0.7.8
This new version of the Advanced Launcher bring the support for MAME roms with MAWS data and images scrapers. Because MAME roms files cannot be renamed as for the other game emulators, the MAWS scrapers use the rom filename for the search instead of the rom title name.

Image Image Image Image

Changelog:
  • add MAME support
  • add mameworld data and images scrapers
  • fix all scrapers exeption errors

@Angelscry

Looks Like you did it!!!! its Scanning My collection Still. But it doesn't look like its missed to many!!

Does it remember what scraper you choose? for each Launcher? or you just switch it up for certain emulators?

Thank You for getting this working!

John

Just installed your launcher for the first time and I'm having a problem.

When I try to add a launcher for ZSNES or MAME when I get to the "Select your game system" menu, the only option I get is 3DO

I have just discover it also. I'm actually working on this error !!!! Sorry for the inconvenience.


- argus - 2010-12-12

Well I deleted the first line from the game systems file in the addon directory and now it works. since I don't intend on emulating 3DO I'm fine with that Smile


- Death-Axe - 2010-12-12

Cool man, I'll have a go at the new version with mame. There is a mame front end addon, but whomever made it forgot to have the emulator path name in " " so if your path has spaces, you're screwed.
