dylstew Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 I can''t download the updated Metadata for 6.1, it keeps giving a 404. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Are you on the latest 6.2? It should have hopefully been fixed. If you are on 6.2 then this may still be a bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylstew Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 Whoops, I accidentally typed 6.1, but I'm on 6.2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Oh it looks like the Database is currently down. I can't reset it, so Jason will have to reset it when he wakes up. I apoligize for that. There was a bug earlier about 404's that 6.2 fixed, but these are unrelated it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylstew Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 Ah, yeah. When I look at the error, it's just that I can't connect to the database. Thanks for responding so extremely quickly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Of course, if you've got more questions please feel free to ask! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylstew Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 Sure, I've got one! When it's back up, if I select already imported games and click Download Metadata and Images, will it update to the new Metadata if the new data is different? Or will I have to re-add the games to make sure it's all up to date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 The second option will find any empty spots and fill it in with Metadata if it now exists, but currently there is no easy way to replace existing metadata with new metadata if it exists. This week should be LaunchBox Games Database integration week on a deeper level than it already is. The hope is to have LaunchBox know what date you updated your Metadata, and check the server to see if there is any new metadata and download only the new pieces and not everything.

dylstew Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 Thanks. Do you think he'll put it online today in my timezone (It''s 18:52 over here)? or will I have to wait until tommorow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Hi @dylstew; I fixed this earlier this morning about 4 or 5 hours ago. Sorry for the trouble; I will be looking into this so it doesn't happen again. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylstew Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 Ah, I wanted to say the error was still there but then I restarted again (forgot to this time) and the error seems to be gone! Thanks :D. It''s okay dude, it's really good software and you guys helped very quickly. Was definitely worth my money, it's so much easier to use than alternatives out there and still great. The only things I'd like to see are the map select for the roms you import allowing you to type in a directory, being able to bulk edit the rom file path (I had done it now with search and replace in Notepad ++), on that screen where you select which files to import to make it able to sort by filetype so I can easily remove stuff like .ips files in program, and a way for it to remember to keep certain stuff unticked on the emumovies image selection screen. The database also doesn't really seem to put in game Series but I'll just do that manually with the search feature. It's all pretty small stuff, but I love how I now finally have something to organize my games with. I've always loved ID3 tagging my music so now I can do it with games too.

SentaiBrad Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 You can already filter our the excess file extension. If you add files instead of folder and use the windows search box in the top right hand corner it works great. If you are importing smc and sfc Super Nintendo files, just type ".sfc" or ".smc" and it will filter just those file extension. Click a game then Ctrl + A to highlight all of them, then click add. There are some systems where I had to run the Add Files more than a few times to add all the proper file extensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
