Game cannot be scraped after submitting to db

[Pr0FiT]

I submitted several games to the game db and after their approval still cannot be scraped. It's been well over 24 hours now so one would assume that it should be available.

The games are all find-able through the website search

I tried adding them to my collection via the site then syncing i the app but that didn't work either.

I tried manually inputting the id into the xml files but it appears the id in the url is not the same as the id the scraper used (all the games I checked get 302'd to another url)

 

What do?

Every day there is an updated that gets pushed out to LaunchBox users about the Metadata.xml, this is what holds the entire databases info. So as you know, games need to get approved to show up, but then also the update needs to get pushed out and then users then need to run a check against the database. LaunchBox will see the outdated file and update it before you try to scan for a games media and metadata. If that update didn't happen then LaunchBox doesn't know the game exists.

I found that metadata file after posting this and figured that was the actual scrape source (less images) and not the site's 'game db'. Thanks for confirming and detailing how to update it. Interesting choice. I assume because the games db did not exist (looks new being in alpha) this was the best way to deliver the data? Are there future plans to translate to scraping the 'game db' once it's more mature?

 

Not a big deal really but I take that 'obsess over your collection' part to heart and having to wait a whole day for refreshed data might literally kill me.
