RomM server plugin 0.2.1

I'm so happy to see this!

I'm the one who made the PR for the LaunchBox importer in romm.

Wish I knew you were working on something like this before spending days on it xD. I think a plugin using romm's api is much better so props to you for doing this. I'll test it eventually and report back any issues on GH if there's any.

In the meantime I was wondering how you're managing save syncing between LaunchBox and Romm?

Last question, is it only metadata or it's also syncing images, videos and manuals?

Thank you a lot!

At moment you can sync metadata and cover only.

About the save sync I can't do that beacuse save from emulatorJS are different from local Retroarch, but I'm working on a save sync for Retroarch between PCs, using a network driver or cloud drive like Onedrive or Google Drive.

Hey! Haven't got the time to test your plugin since I've been coding a BigBox theme for the past 3 months but will soon. In the meantime were you aware of this :

https://grout.romm.app/usage/save-sync/#supported-save-formats

And more importantly this :

https://github.com/rommapp/romm/discussions/2199

And they've got the idea merged in a PR not so long ago :

https://github.com/rommapp/romm/pull/2917

So I think it's very well possible to sync saves between Romm and Launchbox!

Continue the good work!

Hey, it look amazing, I'll check, the save sync is a good idea.

@ByakkoKa Hey! I was about to try your plugin but while reading the instructions, I noticed it's actually working the other way around. For my use case, LB is my source of truth and I want to send my LB data to Romm. Do you plan on adding support for 2 way syncing depending on user preferences?

Hello, today it have this option, but you need import roms in RomM first, because it work like server so, import roms on it and syncronize LaunchBox and then use the LaunchBox get metadata and update on RomM using the plugin... Sorry about delay to answer @Light Sock
