I want to use Retroplayer only, and have the latest Retroplayer Android test build for Kodi. As soon as I try to open IRAL, i get an error.
Here is the full log: http://jed.one/Other%20stuff/retrokodi.log

ImportError: No module named dateutil ??

Please tell me whats going wrong, driving me mad, lol. Thank you!!

***Edit, opens fine on Stock Krypton nightly. Must be an issue with the Android Retroplayer test build.

How did you install the addon? The error you got is due to dependencies that did not install for some reason (which should auto install if you install by zip or by my repo).

To fix you can manually install the dependencies by searching for them:
plugin.video.youtube (needed for game trailers)
script.module.dateutil (needed for game release date formatting)
script.module.requests (needed for downloading)

and if you're on LibreElec:
virtual.system-tools (needed for 7zip extraction)

I have all my roms on a network share at home, ive previously used used Rom Collection Browser but this seems to integrate better with various skins. However the one thing I cant work out is how to scrape my games into it.

I can change the Download path etc but the list still shows all the games and I only want it to show mine. I Know I can create my list but that seems quite time consuming and not sure what happens if I add a new rom to the Download path whether it gets picked up or not... any suggestions welcome

Some info on that here.

Although, from the sound of it, you're probably going to have better luck with the AEL addon. IARL isn't really setup for scraping, all the scraping is done automagically for the default lists. If you want to create your own games list, then manually editing the xml files is currently the only way.

AEL, which is also awesome, will scrape metadata for you and create a launcher.

Given the archive's special, legal position in terms of gaming, we've decided to take the stance that so long as the archive makes content freely available in a way that appears to be perfectly legal, then there doesn't seem to be any reason to prevent accessing that content using Kodi. And if, at some point, the Archive loses the right to make freely available this content, then they, themselves, should likely remove the ability to access the content, as they work very hard to stay on the right side of the law.

Is there a way to upload the rom to the archive to fix it?? The oother question is in the rom search feature, its coming up blank where you would select the archive to search??

Some games aren't in the archives. The specific example you gave I checked, it's not there (not sure why). A lot of these can be fixed by switching archives though, so this one I can fix and will add to an update. I'd appreciate people opening git issues if they find specific ones not working, that way I have something to trigger me to go look - I can add a note on the first post about this

The search thing appears to be wrong on your system for some reason. I can't reproduce this. Care to post a debug log when you open the search window?

Thank you, I will get a log. Another question. Is the error converting 7z archive a known issue? (Playstation roms, Android)

Yes, 7z doesn't work on Android. Android is the nemesis of IARL. It's a walled garden of suck for the amateur programmer.
