emongev Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 I just started using launchbox and i love the metadata getting feature since i can organize a bunch of collections i have, however im getting lots of 404's when doing so, is this normal? Hasnt finished yet but its showing around 17 thousand errors so far, here is a screenshot: http://imgur.com/g5B3znZ Am i doing something wrong?

SentaiBrad Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 No, unfortunately that is normal, it means you've hit your EmuMovies daily limit. They have a daily limit for free users to download media so it results in the 404 error. You can safely wait it out and press ok to keep all imported games when it is done.

Lordmonkus Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Could be the server is down at that moment. I doubt you did anything wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Could be, but that error always pops up for free accounts, it's designed from their API that way. Now if OP has an EmuMovies premium account, then the server could be down, but they're actually not down all that often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emongev Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 Oh i see, thanks! Ill consider getting a paid subscription to download everything then :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Well you don't have to, yea they would like it, but we're not forcing anyone on our end to use their service if they don't want to. You're more then welcome to keep using the daily limit by re-running the scraper under Tools. Granted, if you want video that's the only way we offer it is through them. However, music and images are provided to free members just obviously at a limit per day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Ahh, I was thinking it was just looking for screenshots and box art from thegamesdb in the screenshot, it didn't look like any emumovies stuff in the errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 It's deceiving, but our server is up. I am on it right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emongev Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 Yup thats what i thought too, the api.gamesdbase.com didnt seem to be emumovies related xD Deceiving indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 It's all their API, unless we want to get rid of that service we've gotta put up with it. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emongev Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 Haha yeah, anyways, thanks SentaiBrad! Dunno if its possible, but maybe it would be a good idea for the error window to parse a single 404 response and clarify that theres a free member limit on emumovies, because i think its possible im not the first one to encounter this dilemma xD ooooor maybe there already is something of the sort, but i just skipped over it, in that case ignore my suggestion haha Thanks again! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I'll pass that along to Jason, but I am unsure how their API works it's all him. My assumption was they didn't specify, they just throw the error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Oh also, no problem I like helping. If you have more questions feel free to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzeroceania Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Hey SentaiBrad, out of curiosity, how do you become a non free member on emumovies? I'm not seeing anywhere obvious in their control panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 You just go to their site and sign up. Non paying members are automatically Free Users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzeroceania Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Right, I've already created an account, but I'm not seeing a "pay here for premium" option anywhere. EDIT: never mind, found it under the donate menu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Ah you wanted to pay, I am sorry I misread that. Glad you found it, sorry about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmilyard Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Last night I let run to get all my Arcade artwork. I have lifetime membership at Emumovies and still got error about 117 times. Today when just doing NES system I am getting a lot of the same errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromlostdays Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Screenshot those errors. Keep in mind not all artwork exists for all systems, and unless I'm wrong you can get an error if the artwork doesn't exist, or if you're rom is named too oddly for it to be recognized correctly by the database. Its not uncommon for me to get a few errors. Sometimes I have to go into launchbox and edit the rom info so the database recognizes it.

Jason Carr Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Thanks for reporting this, guys. It seems like EmuMovies might be having some trouble. We use their API, so those 404 errors aren't really anything we can do anything about. I know sometimes they're caused by download limits, which we really should have a better error message for. That said, if it's happening for premium members then it's probably just caused by a temporary issue on their end, or there moving media around or something of that nature. If you're getting lots of EmuMovies errors then I'd say it would be probably best to just give it a day and try the next day. Sorry I don't have a better solution for you guys.
