Any ideas why thegamesdb does not scarp any meta data? I've checked the actual website and can see games like fallout 4 are on there but it won't scrape anything at all for it 9r another steam game?

Consoles (Category) -> Nintendo (Subcategory L1) -> NES (Subcategory L2) -> US Games (Launcher)

Working now I forgot I had the games named weird as I was modding the theme on my phone and just using random .ink files to populate the view.
Please post a debug log, following the instructions of the first post, doing a couple of the problematic scrapes. Then I can see exactly what is going on.

Without some basic instructions some users will get completely lost. In the table I like to link to the skin thread in a forum so users can ask questions if needed. Also, in the "Estuary Mod v2" thread I cannot see the link to the skin Github repo. Are you sure that is the skin thread?Ahahah
EDIT: My German knowledge is basically non-existant but at least I can understand it better than Japanese

Note that AEL is a Kodi addon and what you propose implies making changes on Kodi itself.

Would it be possible to add the option to create subcategories? So that we could have, for example:
Consoles (Category) -> Nintendo (Subcategory L1) -> NES (Subcategory L2) -> US Games (Launcher)
Many thanks.

If I add gzdoom as a standalone application, it still launches in the background.
All other emulators work perfectly - any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Many thanks

Sorry for my late reply. Yeah, I know it's not very comfortable. Maybe I'll risk myself mit meine Paar Worte I know in german so they can provide a better description. About the screenshots, here there are: https://ibb.co/CJwbgb3 and https://ibb.co/kXbCWwK. As you can, the result is quite ok!

But if AEL can launch a pc game from the hard drive via script wouldn't it be possible to to add code after that to show fan art from the hard drive in full screen wait 60 seconds then close it?

AEL can launch any executable or script. You can create a BAT/CMD script that calls an app to display the fanart and then launch the emulator/game. However, the effect won't be as nice as a dedicated application to do that. For example, recently Retroarch included such effect. When launching an emulator the screen turns black and the name of the core and the ROM is displayed. After a few seconds this image, kind of an autogenerated fanart, fades out to the ROM running. This is possible because the feature was coded inside Retroarch.
