Quote:1. I known that thumb search is stuck for some images, don't know why. I didn't see any error messages in the log files - only a message "script stopped". I'm pretty sure it's a bug in the usock.read() function. don't know how to solve it.I know we have already talked about this, but the recent changes seem to be worse on the xbox. Last month when I would search for thumbnails, only some would not work and they would not lock the xbox, they would just fail to get written and saved. Now it seems that every image from the Yahoo! search is effected and now if I choose one, the xbox locks up with the "saving progress" dialog box up.
Perhaps it's just my xbox that has gotten worse. I noticed a bunch of memory leaks in my logs that didn't use to be there (those are bad right?) and I'm thinking that might be why the xbox is freezing up.
I understand if this problem is going to have to wait. Personally I already have all of the thumbnails and being able to manually set them in the .xml file is nice. I'm still having trouble getting the thumbnails to show up automatically. They are named the same as the ROMs with a .png extension. After putting them all in the thumbnail folder before I scan for ROMs, I now get blank/missing thumbnail images where as before I was getting the default icon for my skin.
If I edit Launchers.xml by hand and specify the path to the thumbnails within the <thumb> field (which are all blank to start with) then it shows up. Are the <thumb> fields inside Launchers.xml suppose to be blank? I'm currently investigating how to get them to write the paths like the <filename> field does.
