i actually managed to get further on frodo... it was the damned apple metadata files being interpreted as roms.

i'm going back to frodo and going to try to get that working. eden was lacking some features i wanted to take advantage of and wasn't any easier to get the emulator working.

14:48:11 T:3832  NOTICE: RCB_INFO: End addRomCollection
Usually if there is any error writing the file you should see it in your log. But on next load of config.xml the mame collection is not available. Sorry, atm I have no idea what is happening. But adding new collections with offline scrapers is working here, so I don't think it is a bug.

The link to your config.xml is broken. Can you upload it once more? Maybe I have to try to reproduce this with your configuration. But this may take some days as I am on a trip atm. Not sure if I will find the time to test.

Thanks for your help malte. Yeah its definitely a problem on my end but I cant nut it out. A re-uploaded config.xml. I dont have a problem editing the config file by hand, is there any chance some one could post their working config.xml files with a mame collection so I can copy that?

Thanks in advance.

I had another try at adding my mame collection afer upgrading from Frodo RC2 -> RC3, to no avail. I noticed that my /users/.../AppData/roaming/xbmc/ folder was read only for some strange reason but changing that hasnt helped - in the folder properties it keeps on going back to read only, even if I change it, although I am able to edit files within that directory.

Here is the log file from this try. It looks the same as the last, with no indication of anything going wrong. I also had a look in the 'Deete Rom Collection' option to see if maybe remnants of mame were still lingering in the system, but found no mention of mame. Cleaning the database now to see if that helps.

Im stumped... Anyone have any suggestions as what I could do? Its looking like I may need to delete RCB and start again...


EDIT: Cleaning the database hasnt helped

RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - rob hodge - 2013-01-06

finally managed to get sound working with the help of this page:

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=90221

now, if i could just get the focus to go to the emulator that RCB launches instead of staying in xbmc i'd be well on my way. i might have to try advanced launcher.

so, anyone have any suggestions there?

also, solo mode is not working for me. the emulator starts up and xbmc fires right back up with it running in the background. xbmc puts up an error message that the remote communications server failed to start.

WoSaK Wrote:Thanks for that. Is there anyway to rename it? I've edited the .NFO file, but RCB doesnt seem to pick up any of my changes, and when I Import again, and change the scraper to local NFO it just says done, but nothing changes. It is also not importing my Pokemon Gold, when it was before automatically or locally.
Just rename the rom file itself. That should help.

Here's my log

Do the roms show up when you change some filter settings? E.g. changing the console?

What do you mean with reopen? It does not get the focus back or do you use solo mode and get an error message?

atgm Wrote:Edit: rob hodge, if you want to try Frodo again, this is how I got it working: http://www.corporate-sellout.com/index.p...bmc-frodo/
This issue is fixed with the latest test releases. Current release 1.1.1 is also marked as "stable" version for Eden and Frodo. I just did not add it to the XBMC repo yet.

I can reproduce this issue with your config.xml. I will check if this is an error in your config or a bug in the script.

RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - malte - 2013-01-06

@teeedubb: Ok, found it. It is a mixture of a bug in RCB and your configuration. There was an error in updating an old config.xml structure to a new one and because of that there are some MAME specific infos missing in your config.xml file.

You should add these lines to your ImagePlacing options in config.xml:
Code:
    <fileTypeFor name="gameinfomamecabinet">
      <fileTypeForGameList>cabinet</fileTypeForGameList>
      <fileTypeForGameList>boxfront</fileTypeForGameList>
      <fileTypeForGameList>title</fileTypeForGameList>
      <fileTypeForGameListSelected>cabinet</fileTypeForGameListSelected>
      <fileTypeForGameListSelected>boxfront</fileTypeForGameListSelected>
      <fileTypeForGameListSelected>title</fileTypeForGameListSelected>
      <fileTypeForMainViewBackground>boxfront</fileTypeForMainViewBackground>
      <fileTypeForMainViewBackground>title</fileTypeForMainViewBackground>
      <fileTypeForMainViewBackground>action</fileTypeForMainViewBackground>
      <fileTypeForMainViewGameInfoUpperLeft>title</fileTypeForMainViewGameInfoUpperLeft>
      <fileTypeForMainViewGameInfoUpperRight>action</fileTypeForMainViewGameInfoUpperRight>
      <fileTypeForMainViewGameInfoLower>marquee</fileTypeForMainViewGameInfoLower>
    </fileTypeFor>
    <fileTypeFor name="gameinfomamemarquee">
      <fileTypeForGameList>marquee</fileTypeForGameList>
      <fileTypeForGameList>boxfront</fileTypeForGameList>
      <fileTypeForGameList>title</fileTypeForGameList>
      <fileTypeForGameListSelected>marquee</fileTypeForGameListSelected>
      <fileTypeForGameListSelected>boxfront</fileTypeForGameListSelected>
      <fileTypeForGameListSelected>title</fileTypeForGameListSelected>
      <fileTypeForMainViewBackground>boxfront</fileTypeForMainViewBackground>
      <fileTypeForMainViewBackground>title</fileTypeForMainViewBackground>
      <fileTypeForMainViewBackground>action</fileTypeForMainViewBackground>
      <fileTypeForMainViewGameInfoLeft>cabinet</fileTypeForMainViewGameInfoLeft>
      <fileTypeForMainViewGameInfoUpperRight>action</fileTypeForMainViewGameInfoUpperRight>
      <fileTypeForMainViewGameInfoLowerRight>title</fileTypeForMainViewGameInfoLowerRight>
    </fileTypeFor>

I also fixed the bug in RCB but as this is a really special one I guess it is ok to put it in one of the next releases. If you have issues adding these line just let me know.

What do you mean with reopen? It does not get the focus back or do you use solo mode and get an error message?

It doesn't give the focus to xbmc. If I start a game, it goes to desktop and starts the emu. Then when I close the emu, it just sits at the desktop.

RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - KingTomaHawk - 2013-01-06

Hi, thanks for your answer. Yes RCB runs on the Rpi and it can launch the emu, but i runs in the background. Yes i think, the Rpi has no Window-manager, that might be the problem.
Is there a terminal command to switch between processes, this could be my solution.

Looks ok so far. Just make sure that applaunch.sh is executable and maybe try to disable "Escape emulator cmd" in addon settings.

Also looks good. I have to set up my own ubuntu box again to do some more testing. There are several users complaining about focus issues on XBMCbuntu.

You could try to change the "Use fullscreen window" option in XBMC Settings (Settings -> System -> Video output) and see if this changes anything.

atgm Wrote:I'm using 1.1.1 from Google Code and it wasn't fixed...
The things that are explained on the site that you linked to have been fixed with version 1.0.6. 100%, believe me Wink. Yes, there is still the line "self.addItem(item, False)" in gui.py, but this is just a comment that will not be executed. The correct line is just next to it.

Is there a terminal command to switch between processes, this could be my solution.
Ok, this is the situation that I read about several times. Sorry, this has to wait until I get my Pi to play around with myself.

Looks ok so far. Just make sure that applaunch.sh is executable and maybe try to disable "Escape emulator cmd" in addon settings.

it is disabled, and applaunch is executable. when i launch, it does exicute and i can see it running with ps

another quirk, if i try to kill the mednafen process, unless i kill applaunch first when i kil mednafen i get a blank screen. if i kil lapplaunch then mednafen the system stays useable.

i believe xbmcuntu also has no window manager running- could this be related to my problem?

Well, thats what happened Wink But I did the config in 1.1.0 and it worked after upgrading to 1.1.1

This happened twice within maybe 10 minutes, once while I was editing a rom collection, the other time I didn't do anything, I didn't even touch the keyboard, and it changed.

I did not yet find out what is causing the issue.

That's great, I'm sure you'll figure it out!

What am I missing?
malte Wrote:This error was fixed with release 1.1.1. As I think your issue above is not related to release 1.1.1 you should update again and see if it will work with this one.

It worked with 1.1.1, great!

There's just a couple of issues left now (damn frodo, everything worked great in Eden Tongue)

Also, I seem unable to return to XBMC after i quit a game, I just stay on desktop, I've tried locating any interfering programs, but my setup looks exactly the same since Eden, and it all worked good there.
Full screen setting is set to "true fullscreen" not a window, since that causes tearing in movies, so it's not really an option.

I also tried solo mode and I recieve this error when XBMC is about to launch again.

"CApplication::Create() failed - check log file and that it is writable"

Cheers malte and thanks again for you impeccable support!

I am not too confident. But I already asked for help here. I hope somebody else has an idea what is going on.

Same here. Already found the reason and have to talk to the Aeon Nox guys who should fix this.

Ok, same here when I use true fullscreen. I have to check why this does not work anymore.

In some cases this could be fixed with just writing "explorer" at the beginning of the XBMC launch command in applaunch.bat. If this does not help, you could try to replace the applaunch.bat with the scripts from RCBs google code page: link.
