toddwv Wrote:So I've loaded my large rom folder, there's over 9,000 roms. It took about 14 hours to scrape artwork and wow does it bog browsing down a bit. I'm going to put more ram in the box because my HTPC is only running with 1gb and it gets eaten up pretty frequently so I'll drop 4gb in and see if that helps move things along. I've been meaning to do it anyways but it just kind slipped off my list.

Quote:So with my 14 hour or so scrape I would like to suggest that the rom loading process be multithreaded to hit several databases at once to speed things along.

malte Wrote:@mhd:
I still would guess that there is something blocked in your environment, maybe security settings in your router or the connection settings on your htpc.

Some ideas to come closer (just to hunt down the problem):
- Did you try to run the script on another pc in your network?
- Can you launch this url in a browser on your htpc: http://maws.mameworld.info/maws/romset/1942 ? Is there a window popping up when you try this? Maybe try it with different browsers if you have more than one on your system.

dozy Wrote:Love your plugin, and it appears to work just fine on Mac OSX (10.6.6) for some emulators and all the scraping of metadata works like a charm.

dozy Wrote:With many emulators on mac, however, it is impossible to turn off the first dialog box that opens with the emulator (asking which rom to open). However, by simply launching a rom file from finder (.smc, .nes, etc) the correct emulator will open the rom and run in full screen by default.

The problem is that if I set up Rom Collection browser to point at my emulators (nestopia, bsnses, etc) it will open a new instance of that emulator (and the accompanying dialog box) without actually executing the selected rom.

Starting emulators is great and works well but when it comes to switch back to xbmc after leaving a game xbmc freezes or is crashing.
I'm not sure if this is an RCB related problem, but dont know where to start searching.

rcb-config: http://pastebin.com/Vb8Eke1S

I've tried using RCB with "rcb_useEmulatorSolo" true || false both not working as expected.

1)

Code:

rcb_useEmulatorSolo = false;

In "most cases" XBMC does not switch back to fullscreen and remains as a black empty window
and i have to kill the xbmc task and restart it manually.

xbmc-log: http://pastebin.com/SrHtnr2Z

2)

Code:

rcb_useEmulatorSolo = true;

When exiting the emulator and the Batch file is starting xbmc again
i get an Windows error dialog saying "CApplication::Create() check log file and that it is writeable"
I also already set up a litte sleep time between closing emulator and (re)starting xbmc in the batch file as recommended. But even after a 10s sleep i get the error mentioned above.

Would be great to get this thing working

Only problem is that I'm having the exact problem as schoresches, I read on how he fixed the issuse, but I'm not sure what files he was editing to fix the autobatch file and the default.py files? Can someone direct me in the right direction? Using his same exact environment and getting the crashes/black screen on rom/emu close as well!

TheCookieAddict Wrote:I recently moved all my emulator roms to a PC that I use for storage, and I wanted to reconfigure RCB but now when I take the exact same steps as before and I select 'Import Games' after selecting "No" when RBC asks me if I want to add another Rom Library, it very briefly shows the importing game window (like 0.5 sec) and it goes into Library mode without displaying ANY games. Could it maybe be the fact that my roms are now on another PC?
