Launchbox-RetroPie-Batocera-Miyoo Export 1.2.2

I had the exact same error. It seems like the save_image function does not create the output_path variable when you are not resizing the images. I could fix it for me by adding these two lines in line 165 (right after the last else statement in the save_image function):

filename = os.path.basename(r'%s' % original_path)
output_path = os.path.join(output_dir, filename)

so the complete else block should read like:

        else:
            filename = os.path.basename(r'%s' % original_path)
            output_path = os.path.join(output_dir, filename)
            copy(r'%s' % original_path, r'%s' % output_dir)
        return os.path.basename(output_path)    

I hope it helps

It works! It's a tad inconsistent with some games not saving video or screenshot. Hardly a big deal. It's very usable now.  

EDIT: Actually, the video path doesn't get added to gamelist.xml. Oh well. LOL

Thank you man!

Hey @dingodan so I tried the Mega Drive / Genesis export for Batocera, I am able to get the files (Roms/images/Videos) exported and then after transferring them to the Roms\megadrive folder in Batocera they are not being displayed in the games list, I reckon the Launchbox naming of the files doesn't work for Batocera? As downloading the box art manually renames it differently with appended text also to identify that it is a box art. Am I missing something in the export process?

Here is my script attached, help would be appreciated.

 

EDIT: Also attaching the generated XML it seems the files are not specified?

 

launchbox_retropie_export.py

gamelist.xml

Actually applied the bit from @marzipant0rte  adding those 2 lines to the script and now everything is populated apart from the video line (Not sure if there's a way to fix this?). You may want to to update the Downloadable script.

In any case thanks for your contribution

Problem ("No video found for"...) 

You have to comment the three lines and than it will work:

false line 131, 132, 133

        if original_path.lower().endswith('mp4'):
            copy(r'%s' % original_path, r'%s' % output_dir)
            return

fixed:

    def save_image(original_path, output_dir):
        if not os.path.isdir(output_dir):
            os.makedirs(output_dir)
        #if original_path.lower().endswith('.mp4'):
            #copy(r'%s' % original_path, r'%s' % output_dir)
            #return
        if reduce_image_size:            
            try:

after that the "gamelist.xml" will include Videos:

        <video>./video/Meteorites-01.mp4</video>

instead of:

        <video/>
 

Thank you @dingodan for writing an sharing this script.
I made some modifications and added some functionality - namely:
- Added Manual exports
- Added 'Players' value from LB (instead of defaulting to "1+")
- Fixed some error handling
- Added functions to rename exported media, for platforms like ES-DE and GarlicOS that rely on the media files matching the ROM names 1:1.

I uploaded my version of the script here, hope you don't mind: https://github.com/thwonp/scripts/blob/main/launchbox-export.py

Thank you for creating it. But I can't run it.Please tell me.

1 . gamelist_dir = f'{output_dir}{'\\'}{'roms'}'   <<The last ' is displayed as an error.
2 . xmlfile = f'{gamelist_dir}{'\\'}{platform}{'\\'}{'gamelist.xml'}'  <<same error.

    gamelist_dir = f'{output_dir}{'\\'}{'roms'}'

@Aki.M My environment is:

I suspect that updating your python version will fix it.

Edit: yep, the f-string syntax used here requires Python 3.12
