I don't fully understand what you are trying to do. Do you want to add new games or do you want to update games that you already imported?

I can't see anything relevant in your log file. Please enable debug logging in Kodi so I can see all output of RCB.

I will like both, add and scrap new ones.
also have the logos that do not update when I change them in the clearlogo folder, it keeps the old ones when they are no longer there.

Yor log ends somewhere in the middle.

Some things that might help:

If logos do not update when you replace them this might be due to kodis thumbnail cache. You will need to wait some time until kodi refreshes its cache. But I do not know how often this happens or if you can force it.
If you add new artwork files for an existing game, you need to run "Scan Artwork directories" in RCB
If you want to update games that you already imported make sure you use the following settings:
- Edit Rom Collection/Import Games/Ignore On Scan = False
- Edit Rom Collection/Import Games/Allow Update = True
- Addon Settings/Import Games/Rescrape already imported Games = True
- Addon Settings/Import Games/Prefer local nfo file if available = False

RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - malte - 2020-04-20

One more thing: In your log it looks like you added games to your Genesis and N64 collection manually via config.xml. Is there any reason for this?

So the logo is good it works.
By cons still does not want to add me game on genesis for now.
No reason for config XML, does that have an impact?

I put you a photo of my settings

Big thx

*.bin ist the "correct" way to do it. Otherwise you have to add every single game to your config.

The game names and other info etc is stored in a database outside your config.xml. So, no need to add every single game to your config file.

Hi @malte could you add the view type @Kupo91 is using?

It looks good.

Edit. Oh, you said you will, didnt saw that. Cool.

If you don't want to wait put this into \addons\script.games.rom.collection.browser\resources\skins

and replace

Code:
values="Arctic.Zephyr|Confluence|Embuary|Estuary"

with

Code:
values="Arctic.Zephyr|Confluence|Embuary|Estuary|Aeon MQ7"

in \addons\script.games.rom.collection.browser\resources\settings.xml

Then open RCB's addon settings and change the skin to Aeon MQ7. The panel view is the only one which is new. The other views in this skin are just copies from Confluence I guess.

But here are two things which I noticed lately when I made a fresh install of Kodi 19 and RCB:
1) It always show clearlogos as list titles. Disabling this option in settings doesn't work.
I didn't notice this before because I deactivated the clearlogo path in my rom collections. So it doesn't show clearlogos anyway.
2) There is just one background for all games. I never tried to use fanarts as background because I prefer a single background for everything.

Ah and the border from the screenshot area might be blue instead of white at the first start. But this gets fixed after one or two restarts.

RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - trihy - 2020-04-22

Thanks. Will try first option.

In which file should I replace thos values?

Hi there
Trying to set up simple launching of PC standalone games on my Windows based Kodi install.
Have set up a folder of shortcuts, set the platform as Windows and set the path and the file mask as *.lnk
The games are imported ok but when I go to launch them nothing happens. Am I missing a command or additional config?

In the kodi log I see that the script is throwing an error:

2020-05-08 10:48:12.065 T:11444 ERROR: EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<--

Any clues?

RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - trihy - 2020-05-10

I have some windows games added time ago. Tried and they launch fine.

I only had set files to *.lnk (LNK)

And parameters "%ROM%"

With only that they launch fine.

I tested this feature with the current code base and it still works. The part of the log that you posted does not contain any info about launching the game. Can you upload the complete log file somewhere and post the link here?
