But I did not plan to rework the mechanism in general, I think it is quite easy to understand. Of course there are a lot of methods (online, local, nfo), modes (accurate, interactive, ...) and options (addon settings or rom collection configuration). But I needed all these features myself or they have been requested by users.
If you missed these five games several times maybe there have been some options that prevented RCB from importing them. If you want to find out whats going on just try to import these five games and check why they failed. RCB is writing much to the xbmc.log so it should be possible to find out whats missing. You could also just leave it as it is because it is working now
Lets see how it feels when I have done the changes. General plan: Atm RCB skips games if it does not find enough information or artwork. In next releases I want RCB to always import all games and add more options to decide which games you want to see while browsing the list instead. With this mechanism it will be easier to implement rescrape mechanisms and to see the current state of your Rom Collection (how many games are available, how many info is missing, ...).
Thanks for listening to my moaning :-)
Regarding the 5 games, I don't know which ones they were. Don't know how to find this out in such a big list.
About the scraping ... I think you are right Malte, I just need more practice. RCB seems like a very powerfull tool ...
Anyway, like you said I will not remove this collection now.
What I plan to do is now try to implement the game movies I have from emumovies. Than I will check all the scraped data. Once everything is complete in XBMC for this collection, I will copy the setup.xml (forgot the name now, but I mean the xml with all the selections you have made in RCB) and then I will remove the complete collection.
Than I want to re-install this collection again using the saved xml. It might sound weird to you, but I just want to have all my game data stored on my HD and I want to see if I'm able to install a collection again in a matter of minutes once they are completed, just like with the movies or tv shows. In case I have a system crash or whatever. That would be my main goal.
I'll test more and keep you'll informed.
Thanks again,
