Add To Games DB AddToGamesDb v.Next

I tried it with chrome (with that issue) and moved over to Firefox.

I try to work with it.

is it possible to get an information from the script what I have to do then instead of looking into a browser where nothing happens anymore :-P

@UnderwoodNC with last update it works really good!!.

Do you planning to develope massive updating?, so you can select a few games and the plugin batch multiple operations to create or update games in DB?

i have a problem with the login when I want to add a game. Chrome, Firefox and all the others doesn't want to save and auto-login to the database because of the unsafe connection to the page. does this something to do with the plug in? because when I normally go to the games db, everything works smoothly.

Sounds like it's referring to SSL.  What's it saying about an unsafe connection?  This is with Remember Me checked?

yes.

Can you copy/paste or do a screenshot of the message that comes up?

Hi @wirtual82, it's currently set up for one game at a time so that we're not all putting too much of a burden on the server.

@flores9, @polocatfan Hi all, I've re-written the part of the code that checks for whether or not it's an existing game, and in my tests it is working consistently.  Please download the latest version and let me know if you run into any issues.

Sorry I've been busy, I shall try it now. 

 

I cannot add a game to the database. I'm having issues with an error as shown in the picture I've included.

I am using Windows 10 with the latest Creator's Update. Also I'm using Chrome Beta which I suspect
is confusing the searching for a Browser for this plugin and it's set as the default Web Browser.

I still need to take a look at this.  It looks like you don't have Chrome installed, which is the default browser it uses.  Do you have Firefox installed?  It should pick up Firefox and use that, but I haven't tested thoroughly tested that functionality yet.  I'll uninstall Chrome hopefully sometime this weekend so I can test this out and get a fix for everyone.  

Since some days, i cant "Add Games", he stops at image upload...what can i do?
The error message does not match, i´ve add a new game not an available one

pls help

I think the coordinates are hardcoded ... i can not change them myself :-(
The webpage zo add a game must have changed?!

I have Chrome Beta installed. I'd prefer not install another browser just for this. 

Hi I'm trying to use this plugin with firefox and i have an error... it says something related with parent.lock is being used by other process.

Hi all, work has kept me away for too long, but I'll look into these asap.

@Expello - Agreed, it sounds like something may have changed with the form to add games, maybe an ID or class name change, I'll check it out.

@Xirious - It may be an incompatible driver.  The automation tool, Selenium, uses a driver to load Chrome and interact with the browser.  The latest version of chromedriver.exe can be found here:  https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads  Please try updating that driver and replacing the existing chromedriver.exe in the AddToGamesDb folder.  It sounds like that will fix it, but let me know if it doesn't and I'll keep it on the list when I can make a batch of updates.

@Juan-K - Hi Juan-K, other users have also mentioned Firefox issues.  This may also be an outdated driver.  Firefox has gone through some major updates recently, so I wouldn't be surprised if the driver to control Firefox needs to be updated as well.  The Firefox driver in the AddToGamesDb folder is called geckodriver.exe and the latest version can be found here:  https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases  Please try updating to the latest driver and let me know if you run into any issues.

Thanks everyone for your patience!

 

I just installed the new 2.4 version of the plugin. When I try to use it nothing seemingly happens. When I check the log, I see the following:

Firefox is my default browser. I am running Windows 10 x64, build 1709 and the latest beta of LaunchBox (7.15 Beta 11). Please let me know if I can provide any further info.

Hi, how do i fix this problem?

 

 

Hi @UnderwoodNC, I don't use the plugin myself but am a daily moderator. I saw someone uploading a whole lot of new japanese games for the DS but everytime the 3D Boxes are tripled if not 4 times a duplication. I do think this person is using your plugin as before uploading the new games he used your plugin for adding 3D Box images where the duplicate entries also happened but only twice instead of 3 to 4 times. Just thought I mention it, see screenshots for example of one game, there are many many DS games that are being uploaded as we speak with 3 to 4 times the same image, its weird.

 

Are there any plans to update this to work with Launchbox.Next?  I enjoy using this addon, but the standard Launchbox interface will be going away soon and the option is always grayed out in Launchbox.Next.

The creator of this plugin hasn't been on the forums since May 22nd so unless he updates the plugin to work with Next things don't look good for it.

Hey gang, I didn't see these messages, sorry for the delay.  I'll take a look at Next this weekend and see what I need to do to update it.  I also need to go ahead and open source the code on GitHub, I keep meaning to do that.

Thanks guys, hope you've all been well!

Sorry for the long delay, all -- moving, new job, lots of changes, but thankfully positive. 

I've updated this plugin to work for the new LaunchBox v.Next -- I haven't made all the changes I want to yet, and I have only tested a few games, but the plugin ran successfully throughout the submission process.  I hope this works for everyone, but if you have any issues, please let me know.

One update I still need to make is regarding duplicate images, as @Mr. RetroLust mentioned above.  I'm still getting caught up on everything essentially over the last year and a half, but that's one issue I want to tackle sooner rather than later.

Great jobs, now it is working great!

I get this error every time i try to add a game which includes a RELEASE DATE. THIS ERROR ONLY HAPPENS on games which date is set to anything 1/1/XXXX so basically January 1st of any year. 

 

(Also on a side note it would be great if Compilation could be added to the list of genres because any game which i have listed as such messes up as well because its not currently an option on the website. Not really sure where to post that though)

Hi, i'm trying to use the latest version of the plugin for Launchbox v.next, and I just noticed on the page it says that this only works in Chrome. I have both Chrome and Firefox installed, but Firefox is set as my default browser, so when I try to use it won't work. Is there any way to force the plugin to use Chrome without having to go through the faff of changing my default browser?

Also, despite the game (Tower Unite) not being in the database, for some reason the context menu option reads "Add New Images" rather than "Add Game".
