Hey Morikaweb, I tried to PM you this a few times but my forum CP still says I have 0 sent items, so I'll just post it in here instead. (Sorry if the PMs went through as well)
I'm a novice C++ programmer working on the next version of my project
Source Media Arcade.
SM Arcade is setup to read info from XBMC NFO files (specifically for movies) and extract all needed information such as Title, Description, and Screenshot/Marquee urls.
I have your addon installed into XBMC and was pleasantly surprised when I saw that SM Arcade automatically extracted the information from the NFO files created by Rom Collection Browser as well.
RCB is great at downloading artwork, but it does not store the download URLs of these images in the NFO files like XBMC movie NFO files do.
I am messaging you to request that you add the download URLs of the ROM artwork images to the NFO files that RCB creates so that SM Arcade will be able to fully utilize the RCB "library" that a user might have.
I understand that it's impossible to do
every request that you get and thank you for taking the time to consider mine.
The reason that the download URLs are so important to SM Arcade is due to the Multiplayer servers. If there are no HTTP download URLs specified for the artwork of a game, the artwork images are transferred directly from the host to the clients. The servers are peer hosted, so poor residential upload rates makes it take AGES to transfer the images to clients. If the host is able to supply download URLs for the artwork images, clients are able to connect immediately and silently download the artwork images in the background.
These artwork download URLs are extracted automatically from XBMC movie NFO files and it would be fantastic if SM Arcade was able to extract them from Rom Collection Browser NFO files as well.
Thanks again for your consideration of my request.
