Kodi 17.6 on Win 10.

Thanks for reporting. I will have a look ASAP. In the mean time use the offline scraper and local artwork.

I used the xbmc launcher to and still no luck, this can be solved with some tweaks on my end but I think these are basic features that should be addressed.

Also another issue I noticed is when I run steam games via steam.exe e.g. using steam.exe as the launcher and adding the steam app id via arguments, AEL waits for steam to close which it doesn't and I can't run other games except if I log out and relog

To be honest I haven't used AEL in about 6 months, I was focusing on AML. Some months ago the GameFAQs scraper didn't work because changes in their web site and should be broken now. If TGDB have made changes in the API then the scraper is likely to be broken as well. Is MobyGames scraper also broken?

You need to create a wrapper BAT/CMD file and then download an utility that allows you to maximize/minimize/give focus to Windows applications. Search in the thread, the solution is here (although I don't remember where). In google put at the end of the search site:forum.kodi.tv to restrict your searches to the Kodi forum only.

That should never happen. Can you please explain a bit what you do? You use the ROM scanner or the context menu to scrape ROM by ROM? Can you reproduce the bug? If so, please post a debug log as instructed in the first post.

Seems like you are using the master branch version, which is still under development.
Download the 0.9.8 version from https://github.com/Wintermute0110/plugin.program.advanced.emulator.launcher/tree/release-0.9.8

 Okay, that seems like it has been some kind of one-time hickup of sorts... Information gets saved properly and is still present after restart, I wasn't able to reproduce it...

Is there any chance that you can get these scrapers up and running again? TGDB has always been awesome!
