Hal_Emmerich Wrote:C) Bug: Interface Lockup when rapidly switching consoles
This is one I've noticed when switching between consoles with large databases quickly. If I flick from my NES to my SNES collection before the NES has finished loading, I -surmise- the SNES encounters a read error since the file is still in use. No log entries occur in the log, but the interface hangs until I restart the computer or sometimes wrestle control back with Control + Alt + Delete.

Never noticed this. But I will test in detail. Maybe my collections just aren't big enough.

Darkcloud Wrote:I have the same issue. It happens more often with bigger collections but I think none of them is really big. Around 300 or 400 max. Most times it doesn't lock up but the menu to apply different filters doesn't work. I can use it and scroll through the options but it doesn't change what is displayed. When I exit RCB i get a services.py error popup. The problem started since I used a Eden.

Hal_Emmerich Wrote:I've had it since whatever 10 was. I SUSPECT what might be happening is it's still reading from the database when the next call is made, which would result in a read error. Without knowing Python I can't really know for sure.

Hal_Emmerich Wrote:Solved my problem Malte and I can report that I found the reason for the error. Based on your suggestion, I went into the database, realizing the problem was occurring only on a few genre's. I also realized you had to be right, as on those three entries, the publisher filter did not populate. I cross referenced games that involved the genres 'Stealth' and 'Action', and tracked the problem to Syphon Filter 1, a PSX game by 989 studio's. The scraper however only retrieved '989', which I suspect was being interpreted as an integer, not a string. Including text that would force it to string (IE: 989 Studios Inc) corrected the issue.

Everytime I try to import a game with multiple . or -, it errors out. Like WCW v. NWO - world tour.

cowhead Wrote:been having some trouble getting rom collection browser to work. I've been trying to add zsnes but with no luck... first I was getting an error message saying "could not create directory" (or something along those lines) when rcb was trying to scrape artwork online. I fixed that by manually creating the necessary directories but now I'm getting a message "could not create artwork files." I am truly stumped...been googling the best I can to try and fix this but no luck. Any ideas?

I have a pc and a mac and the pc version works great for all emulators but on my mac It seems to open the emulators but does not launch any rom. I have tried multiple emulators. If anyone has made it work, can someone point me to a tutorial or help me out I'm not sure what is going wrong? I know this is a generic quesiton but im stuck. Also when I try to select the executable (.app) it doesn't let met select the .app but I am selecting the content/mac os/"sne9x" for example. I dunno.

boblablah Wrote:From an XBMCBuntu standpoint, and per reading at AngelsCry's site, i believe the solo mode execution doesnt work in my case.
I use Dolphin as a wii emulator in XBMCBuntu and it works fine in the lxde desktop evironment. I found a need to toggle the "esc emulator cmd" to the off position as the default hotkeys are to use esc to stop the emulator itself. Once a change is made to the emulator to the hotkey to stop from esc to something else, the emu loads, but I lose the abilty to have any input to the emulator.

boblablah Wrote:the command line I am using is something like "/usr/games/dolphin-emu" with the arguements of " -e -b %ROM%"

It loads, and I can play, but i essentially need to ssh into the box and restart xbmc when I am done playing, since the inputs seem to stick with xbmc rather than the current window focus... any ideas to make this cleaner?
