If I just wait a couple days then maybe xbmc.rcb will pick up my new jpg's?As explained before. This is the only way I know of. I guess XBMC will check from time to time but I have no idea how this works. Maybe you search again in the general area of this forum. I am sure that this is a quite common issue for other users, too.
But: You deleted all the files and your XBMC artwork was lost and RCBs artwork is still present? I was sure XBMC caches the addons artwork at the same place with its own.
MovieBird Wrote:1. Please add an option to clean remove a system configuration from the database, without deleting the game files. I currently only have two options showing, delete games, and delete games and configuration.I guess this will not be possible. There is no configuration data stored in database, only in config.xml and settings.xml. But in config.xml you have a Rom Collection id that is used as reference when adding games. So, when you delete a configuration and add a new Rom Collection, you will not be sure that it will get the same id as before.
I could add something like a "clean config" option that resets all config values of one rom collection. But I don't see a sense in this feature. If you leave your games in db you will at least need to keep the rom path and all artwork paths. Otherwise it will not match together anymore. And you can change and edit everything via "Edit Rom Collection" dialog. So, what is the benefit of this feature?
MovieBird Wrote:2. When using the automatic:accurate scraping option, it automatically matches the first file, and ignores the next two similarly named files. So, in this case, the (Beta) file becomes the file called from the RCB launcher. Could you please add a little bit of intelligence to the scraping, so that if there are similarly named files, a priority is given to some keywords within the parenthesis? Maybe by popping up a window asking the user to pick which file they want to use for that game association. Possibly predicated on a toggle in the configuration?I can try to do. But it will be quite difficult. Especially together with your next request. I have to find good ways to let the user tell RCB how his/her games are named (e.g. differentiate between tags that should lead to new entries (Beta) and tags that are used as disk separators (Disc 1)).
MovieBird Wrote:3. Lastly, for optical media, there are often different discs, or files, associated with the same game. Could there be some intelligence added to the automatic scraper to handle separate discs showing in the RCB list?This feature was requested several times and I will add it for sure. Just waiting for the next big bang update of the complete scraping and importing process. But I hope this will happen soon.
BTW: What do you expect RCB to do with entries like:
Code:
Final Fantasy IX (USA) (Disc 1) (v1.0).cue
Final Fantasy IX (USA) (Disc 1) (v1.1).cue
Code:
Final Fantasy IX (v1.0)
Final Fantasy IX (v1.1)

Changed the folder location in "edit your roms" to a different one and that sort of worked, but new problem is that only some of my games will show the correctly updated fan art. Can't figure out how to get the games to refresh even if I delete them and re-add it.
Did you change an existing artwork path or did you add a new one? Best way would be to add a new path. Otherwise you will mess up your different artwork types and RCB does not know what it should display.
