One question, though:

I'm using an XBox 360 controller to control XBMC and RCB. When I fire up a rom and I'm ready to quit the emulator and return to XBMC, is there a way I can close the emulator with my controller? I did some research into using the guide button (big X button), but that seems like a dead end since the driver doesn't work too well and makes my XBMC go crazy scrolling. I don't have a keyboard accessible either. Do you have any advice/suggestions?

It may be possible but as it stands you have to use a remote or a keyboard.

hmmmm, I have no idea why no description was scrapped for it, artwork was now scrapped but no description.

And since i have dont import games without description enabled, i thought that was the problem. But then i disabled it and re-imported it so games without descriptions could be imported and still it would not show up.

Im confused.

Yeah I don't understand why games aren't appearing that have been properly scraped. Time to devote the next few hours trying to find out!

Just to clarify: if you re-import games via "import games", rcb will not scrape games that are already in your database. Unless you enable this in addon settings. If you select "rescrape game/selection", rcb will always rescrape the selected games. No matter what you configured in addon settings. Maybe this caused some confusion.
Also, if you encounter misbehaviour during scraping, please upload your xbmc.log for me. Maybe there is a bug that i could fix when i am in the game again.

Once I get above 1000 roms RCB will crash when loading the list maybe 40% of the time. Here is the log info pertaining to the time it crashed if this helps at all.

One question, though:

I'm using an XBox 360 controller to control XBMC and RCB. When I fire up a rom and I'm ready to quit the emulator and return to XBMC, is there a way I can close the emulator with my controller? I did some research into using the guide button (big X button), but that seems like a dead end since the driver doesn't work too well and makes my XBMC go crazy scrolling. I don't have a keyboard accessible either. Do you have any advice/suggestions?

I'm currently doing this and it works for me in linux. Instead of using the kernel space driver, i use the user space drive xboxdrv. I launch it with the following to allow 4 controls and to properly control the lights on them...

Code:
sudo xboxdrv --daemon --wid 0 -l 2 --ui-buttonmap guide=KEY_ESC --dpad-as-button --trigger-as-button --deadzone 12000 --next-controller --wid 1 -l 3 --ui-buttonmap guide=KEY_ESC --dpad-as-button --trigger-as-button --deadzone 12000 --next-controller --wid 2 -l 4 --ui-buttonmap guide=KEY_ESC --dpad-as-button --trigger-as-button --deadzone 12000 --next-controller --wid 3 -l 5 --ui-buttonmap guide=KEY_ESC --dpad-as-button --trigger-as-button --deadzone 12000 >/dev/null 2>/dev/null &

There is alot going on here I know but I built the command to press esc when the X is pressed. I then launch the emulators to exit upon esc. I also stop lirc so keys dont get queued during a game and I pause the thread xbmc runs on so the xbox control doesnt keep controlling xbmc while in the emulator. For example with gens...

Code:
#!/bin/bash

xbmc-send -a "LIRC.Stop"

sudo killall -STOP xbmc.bin

gens --fs --quickexit "$1"

sudo killall -CONT xbmc.bin

xbmc-send -a "LIRC.Start"

Using the above plus my recommendation from a few posts ago to stop the alsa sink before launch and to restart on exit (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1434251) I have a perfectly working setup with four xbox 360 controls that will quit an emulator on the X being pressed. Additionally I dont have to use solo mode so when I press the X i am instantly dropped back to the games list to pick another. Cut on the ability to control xbmc from gamepads too and then you can navigate and control xbmc with the 360 control. Here's my keymap xml for the 360 remote...

See, it is actually not a dead end at all. Enjoy!

(2013-06-01, 22:21)malte Wrote: [ -> ]Just to clarify: if you re-import games via "import games", rcb will not scrape games that are already in your database. Unless you enable this in addon settings. If you select "rescrape game/selection", rcb will always rescrape the selected games. No matter what you configured in addon settings. Maybe this caused some confusion.
Also, if you encounter misbehaviour during scraping, please upload your xbmc.log for me. Maybe there is a bug that i could fix when i am in the game again.

Im not sure how to really give a helpful log because its like rcb just does not even recognize f-zero or frogger, I tried to import them doing manual matches and it would not even pick these games up. Yet it did scrape them, it just wont let me import them.

I looked inside the nfo and there is no description for the game scrapped...

edit

Just wanted to share the layout I have been working on (well not layout, just custom images and using Aeon MQ4 skin) for my RCB Smile

Ignore the ONE game in the collection as that was a fake collection for testing.

Nice look! That's going to take a while for any decent sized collection though :S

I use automated scripts in Photoshop so it does it all for me..just finished the SNES ones in about 20 mins Smile

Great view, i am trying to convince marcos to put video snaps back into his ace skin, i love the skin, but am crushed my favorite view and video clips were removed Sad

For malte, I cant find any log why f-zero and frogger wont import, or why rcb acts like it does not see those games.

But here is 1080 snowboarding issue, i have to scrape this one manually all the time.

Trying to import it manually i wonder if the 1080 with the degree symbol is causing this issue. I dont know how to make a degree symbol (that tiny circle after 1080) but i would hope rcb would not be this picky.

One question, though:

I'm using an XBox 360 controller to control XBMC and RCB. When I fire up a rom and I'm ready to quit the emulator and return to XBMC, is there a way I can close the emulator with my controller?

I don't have a keyboard accessible either. Do you have any advice/suggestions?

It may be possible but as it stands you have to use a remote or a keyboard.

it IS possible just to use the controller if you install eventghost, choose a key on controller to be the one to "kill" the emulators, personally i use the click on right top hat (joystick.button10), here's how my eventghost config looks like:

and the python script goes like this:

the only 2 emulators i use right now Wink

but you can add more to kill any emu you want

Event ghost gave me a headache for a novice user when i tried last time Sad

I might give it a try, right now im using mce controller which simply allows me to close windows.

If its to much of a headache i might just skip it for now since this may become useless if emulators are included in xbmc late this year as i would not want to be closing xbmc to exit.

This was a great idea! I ended up adding all of my emulator exe's to the script and performing the quit using the same button. Thanks so much for the help!

Although, I ended up not liking the multitude of cmd prompts that would display, so I modified the code you had to hide the taskkill windows:

Code:
import subprocess

startupinfo = subprocess.STARTUPINFO()

startupinfo.dwFlags |= subprocess.STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW

subprocess.call('taskkill /IM Dolphin.exe', startupinfo=startupinfo)

@Aubrien
Thanks so much for that detailed approach for Linux. Unfortunately, I'm using Windows, but I very much appreciate reading how you accomplished this! Great stuff!

thanks for your code, i will try that too Wink

btw. i found out that eventghost does NOT react on controller if it's turned on after eventghost is started (fx. after a reboot and controller is off)

so i did a little extra for the configuration to disable/enable the joystick plugin WHEN the controller is turned on and it seems to work great Smile
