Congrats on RC status! Excellent work!

Well done, good job.

can’t wait to try this out, thanks so much for your hard work and congrats on new implementations.

I just upgraded. Major props to Redshirt and everyone involved with the project. I am strangely fascinated with watching the cover art slowly load and the metadata update on my ROMs; I'm also wasting a disproportionate amount of time doing so, much like a little kid with a shiny toy.

Great work just tried it out! With the template addition alone I think a lot of people will find this more user friendly and much faster to setup! Again great work on everything!

Coming out of comments

With my setup, I have c:\Games\PS\Final Fantasy VII Inside that folder I have the discs named cd1 cd2… etc etc I see the play command when I enter the Final Fantasy VII folder and all the metadata. however the emu always launches cd1 to start. I have to use the emulator’s built in cd swap to move to another disc.

I'm happy with this setup except for games like Gran Turismo 2 which the two discs are two different games. I have not decided what I'm going to do there yet

cheers…

I'm not having much luck only due to user error. I only have games purchased through Steam. So what I have been doing is creating folders of the games such as Call Of Duty WAW into C:\games\PC\WAW. However when opening Mediabrowser there is no download of Metadata etc and the games aren’t seen. What am I doing wrong. There is no exe for my games?? One shortcut example is:– steam://rungameid/10090

Really happy to see banners getting pulled from thegamesdb! everything works and looks great!

Redshirt, I can’t seem to get the publisher and developer logos to show. Is this down to themers. I'm using subdued theme currently. Also do I need to have internet providers ticked to grab info from thegamedb or does it automatically connect within the plugin itself.

Cheers for any pointers

The guys over at thegamesdb.net have made improvements to their name searching. Previously, some games like “F-Zero X” were not retrieving metadata.

If you guys come across a game that isn’t pulling metadata, and you've verified there’s data on the site, post the game name in either this thread, or Smidley’s thread here. While your over there give him the “thumbs up” for his efforts

Great looking plugin!

I have on problem. When I install I do not see a shortcut in my mediabrowser home screen. I looked over your install notes and did not see anything on this. Am I missing something blatantly obvious? Usually is the case for me haha.

Thanks

•Added support for ImagesByName Developer and Publisher logos

Do not work for me , on all theme

Love this plugin so far and can’t wait to see how it progresses.

Are you directly involved with thegamesdb.net site? One thing that I think it could really use is screenshots of the games rather than just box art or promo images.

I don’t know if you're familiar with emumovies.com, but they have compiled a tremendous amount of artwork and videos of games across all platforms. While media browser is sadly not capable of using the animated videos the way the arcade cab front-end hyperspin does, at the very least a screen shot next to the description would be awesome.

I appreciate the hard work and can’t wait for the metadata scraper!

Thanks for this great plugin. Is it possible to put all the games, for example .zip files (roms) in one folder or do every game need to be in it’s own folder. I read in a other thread that it was planned to add support for all the games in one folder, but it didn’t seem to work for me.

My mame games now crash Media browser. for file extension I am usuing .zip and as soon as you move to the “Mame Arcade Games” icon on the EHS it crashes Media Browser.. Help..

Great Plugin. Works well with Dolphin and SNES9x. Keep up the good work.

I had this posted over at thegamesdb.net, but Scott suggested I post it over here.

Ever since the title of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV – Turtles In Time was changed in the database, the game info won’t load in Media Browser. I have the folder named Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV – Turtles In Time, but I also tried Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV Turtles In Time. Neither one worked.

Thanks! Nik

Hi, great plugin, it has rocked my world…and my girlfriend hates the media center more than ever lol!

I am currently using the diamond theme in cover flow view and it works great, but I would love to be able to select a game and have it take me to the details page like it does with the movies. Is this possible already and Im missing something obvious?

Many many thanks for this awsome plugin!

Doc

The Plugin seems to work great, thanks! My only question is (and the may have been answered already somewhere that I've missed…) Is there a way to get SNES9x to auotmatically launch in full screen mode? (ie. no need to hit “alt-enter” to switch it manually.) Or is there a different emulator that might work better? Thanks in advance.

Great! Thanks, I'll give that a try

After toying around with your plugin some more, I've got another question for you haha. I realize this is a “work in progress”, and I'm not really sure how far along you are with getting rid of the bugs and what-not. But anyway, here’s my problem:

So far, it seems all of my ROM’s are working just fine, but any of the PC games I try to play (Haven’t tried all of them yet), seem to just crash as soon as I try to load them. I haven’t seen any posts on here yet related to this, maybe you're already aware of this, I don’t know.

I'm not sure how to save a log file, but if it would help, I could figure out how and then post it here for you.

Wow … amazing work!!!!! Really i'm impressed!!!

thanks for your hard work!

Its a real amazing plugin! I now use media browser on my laptop with gametime to read books.. using foxit and pdf’s as my “roms” And comics with comical and .cbr’s as “roms”

I wonder if I can get mp3’s to work with it using the same method.. and use winamp and playlists and visuals??? hmm… gonna experiment tommorow!

Hey guys, does anyone know how to get saturn iso’s to work with ssf? I can run it fine through the actual emulator but cant get it to work through gametime. Ive pointed media browser to my virtual drive (daemon tools lite), set my rom extention to .iso. any thoughts on this as I cant find any other posts dealing with this problem?

Many thanks

Doc

Ok, Ive encountered another problem! Im using SSF to emulate sega saturn games, I can mount iso images and play them but I dont know how to mount bin images! Any thoughts on this? Doc

There are some changes happening right now with thegamesdb.net code, and it will probably cause GameTime to stop working correctly for a bit when you try to scrape data. We will keep you all updated on the issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Updated to support the api changes. Released as 2.5.0.2

I'm getting a problem with N64 games and Project64 (1.7), when I open any ROM from MC I get the error “Attempt to open file failed”. Opening directly from P64 works fine. Any ideas?

WOW. GameEx, Maximus, Hyperspin- They all have something to learn from Gametime. This is by far the coolest plugin available for MediaBrowser. My library is way too big (several terabytes) for me to move everything into the required folder structure, however using junctions seems to work fine. My newb question: I'm using GameMeta .8. Can/is gametime appending/overwriting these xml files?
