    Yes Yes I know I have been gone for a while. 

     

    I have been focusing on my band. I am going to be coming back to fix some of my plugins and maybe update some stuff. I cant put as many hours in as I used to but I will try my best to keep my projects updated. I will also be updating my source on github so other people can fork my projects.

    LaunchBox Plugin Repository

    View File

    Description

    this program is a repository of all all my plugins. Simply extract the 2 files to your root LaunchBox directory.

    Close LaunchBox before running this program.

    simply click download and the program will download the desired plugin and extract it to the correct folder.

    you are able to add other repositorys from other developers by add the repo url to the Repositorys.txt

     

    This is the first build more functions will be added later.

    +1 for the window re-sizeing!

    I have been doing the manual updates with this tool and it is working great! 

    Just a few suggestions.

    1.  I can resize the main window, but the content with the scroll bar does not grow to match the window size.  Would be nice to be able to resize the window and have the game selection area grow to the window size.

    2.   The app shows the bios rom files that I have marked hidden.  Could the app honor the hide rule and not display the hidden files?

    3.  This is more of a question.  After I have matched some games to the database, does the database matcher update all the missing fields to match what it found besides the database ID?  Can it also download the additional images that the database has that might be missing?

     

    Added a new update.

    Windows is not able to be resized, and it will not show hidden games.

    At the moment the database matcher only links them to the correct Games Database Id. to populate the metadata you would need to update metadata and images for the platform and select do not replace any existing fields. Launchbox will download all missing information. I will put a messagebox about this in the next build, I could probably download the information but I dont want to confuse launchbox with what was downloaded from the games database.

    Yep, that fixed the ones that were messed up and new ones work too.  I do have a request though. Can you please make an Unset All button so you don't have to go through and unset each individual game?  I have tons of incorrect matches because the games don't exist in the database yet. I'm going to use your plugin not only to find matches, but also to find the games that aren't in the database yet and enter them, it'll be an invaluable tool for that too.  Thanks for all the great and fast work BTW. :)

    added a checkbox for automatch. you will be able to disable the automatching feature. 

     

    added a log file to show you games in your library vs games in the gamesdatabase.

    Just tried out the new version, and I let a couple of DOS games stay autodetected and set the rest to Unset, just to check things out.  Now, the ones that I let be corrected are still set to their previous Wiki entry and the "disassociate " button in LaunchBox doesn't work anymore, so I can't correct them manually. Tried restarting LB too.  Seems to have messed up the entry somehow.

     

    thank you for this bug report. I had no idea that the wiki entries needed to be removed. give me 2 minutes to fix this.

    Great idea for a plugin and it's looking good so far. The one issue i'm having with it at the momemt is that that the listbox is too small so I can't read all of the game titles. Going full screen with the window doesn't make a difference as nothing resizes with it. If you can get that sorted, I can see me using this all the time. :)

    Just uploaded an Update, Fixed size and sorted games alphabetically.

    LaunchBox Games Database Matcher

    View File

    DESCRIPTION

     

    One of the biggest problems with my games collection was missing artwork, So I decided to build numerous tools to scrape for missing media.

    the problem I found was not the fact that the LaunchBox database didn't have the game I was trying to get the artwork for but, the fact that the Title didn't match the Title on the Games Database.

    So I decided to build a plugin that will allow you to link the games that are missing a database Id.

    this plugin is not perfect, this will not work for Arcade at the moment.

    the Id can be reset by selecting unset but will not allow you to do so after clicking DONE.

     

    WARNINGS

     

    please check that games are matched correctly as the auto matching links the game before displaying the GUI so it is matched even if you don't click done. Auto matching uses regex to strip non letter and number characters from the game title then compares it with the same expression in the games database. it uses string contains which means if you have a game called A or the games Database contains a game called A, it will match it to a game that has the letter A in the title. for example GameTitle is Alien 2, Games Database Name is Aliens these will get matched together or vice versa.

     

    HOW IT WORKS

     

    after selecting your desired platform to match the plugin will scan all the games in that platform to get all the games missing a LaunchBox Database ID.

    the plugin will then scan the Metadata.xml and find all the games in that platform that have not been linked to a game in your collection.

     

    HOW TO

     

    1. unzip and extract to plugins folder

    2. open LaunchBox

    3. Click Tools> Games Database Match

    4. Select your platform

    5. Match your games

    Hi dude! 

     

    Last night I was fighting hard to watch those trailers on kodi but no luck.......:(

    ( I have changed theme/skin: Titan, Estuari, Aeon Nox...)

     

    What sort of View are you using men?  what is the name of the view in kodi? there are a lot of, but none of then works trailers.

     

    Last thing I did. Reinstall Kodi to nghly build but nothing happened.

     

    You said something about how to get the key on Aeon nox tooo dificult. 

    Do you know any theme that plays the trailer inmediatly on select?

     

    Thank you

    hey I think you are misunderstanding. this program does not replace any theme elements. this will provide the theme with the data it needs. so in short, the video snap will not automatically play unless it is build that way by the theme. to access the trailer you would do it the same way you play trailers on movies.

    right click on the game or press c on your keyboard (this will bring up a context menu)

    go to information

    sorry in recent versions ok kodi information is not available in the context menu. you need to press i on your keyboard or the button that corresponds to information on your controller.

     

    click on trailer.

    Cheers, I love this man!

     

    I am using this within kodi but I cannot see Trailers, i have only fanarts instead. So my killing joke question is:

    Trailers are only for Beta=android Versions  

    oR THERE is a beta version for windows Lads? 

    I am on Kodi 17

    Skin Titan mainly... and testing estuari beta? 17

     

    Forgive my not understanding cos not english spoke person at all.

     

    Love for you all.

    Trailers are available for all platforms. please make sure you are running the latest version by downloading my repository, also it looks for video snaps under LaunchBox\videos\platform name\game name.mp4 so also make sure there are video snaps available and they are in the standard LaunchBox naming structure.

     

    the other thing you need to check is if your theme actually supports this. funny enough i could not find the trailer button on the aeon nox theme.

    OK @slipsystem, well i just gave your plugin a whirl and it seems to work, however i do have a couple of issues, sorry. :) I set up my portable Kodi in the launchbox/emulators folder and added 6 movies to it to test. It said it was downloading images and then finished so i hit exit. However it didn't create a movies platform, so i deleted the image folder, then manually created a movies platform and imported again it downloaded images again but still no movie platform, so i am not sure what i did wrong there?? Secondly as i didn't have the platform i went to delete the launchbox/image/movie folder and noticed that i had a lot of images in there, so what i am assuming is the plugin searched for the portable kodi install and then "ALSO"  C: drive/roaming folder, when in my particular case i would want it to use the portable data "ONLY". The reason for this is my portable kodi will probably have a much smaller library (due to hdd space) than my main PC library. So ideally i would like it to search for the portable kodi and if it finds that to stop the search and not add anything from the kodi/roaming folder, because as i said i added 6 films to test but had the images for my entire collection in the image folder so about 750 films. I hope this all makes sense and i don't sound to demanding. Thanks again for all your hard work. :) 

    Edit,

    I closed and reopened launchbox for a second time and the movie platform appeared, i guess it just took a while. :) 

    I added a new version, it now looks for emulators in lowercase aswell(i think that was the problem). if that didnt solve it please send me the full location of the kodi database (ie C:\LaunchBox\Emulators\Kodi\portable_data\userdata\Databases\MyVideos.db) i also added music as well as the option to import TV Show Seasons Seperatly.

    Ok, would you be able to check the portable folder as well as the roaming? It's just that i have my Launchbox all self contained on a external HDD. If i could then also install a Portable Kodi (say in my emulators folder) and store all my movie/TV Shows all within the LaunchBox folder i would have a fully portable gaming emulator front end, and tv/movie watching HDD that i could plug into any PC and it would all "just work". Sorry to be a pest, you are doing awesome work. :) 

    ok I think I have accomplished what you were looking for. I added logic to look for a portable version under

    LaunchBoxFolder\Emulators\Kodi

    then The LaunchBoxDriveLetter:\Kodi

    the AppData\Roaming\Kodi

     

    I also fixed some bugs with file locations and added some details to the games menu item like release date and description.

    The Kodi location is always that roaming folder regardless of what drive you install to, it will always try to store stuff to your C drive. The only exception is when you make kodi portable (which is very easy to do) then the data is in the same folder as your Kodi instal. Also i assume this works on all versions of Kodi?? I am using the Leia nightlies, but of course folder structure is still maintained there i believe.

    yes it will check the roaming folder. i would assume it would work with all version but im just not 100% sure about how the store data. if its in the same structure it will be fine.
