Hi,

  can somedy can explain to me how LB is scraping ans selecting images for a platforms?

 

I've just redone my entire collection on my pc with 12.8 & 12.9 releases, and they are plentyfull of bugs! I've just added (twice) the Sony Playstation platform, by checking and selecting "Sony Playstation" as scraping selection. ON my 1400++ games, around 50% of them use the wrong platform images, like xbox or gameboy! When i check the images foer the title into the metadatas, it has scraped images for the playstation AND for xbox 3650! I don't have xbox 360 platform in my LB!  I have to delete the wrong images and keep the good ones to correct it!

 

Why LB is scraping wrong platform images into another?

 

It's a huge task to correct all those bugged datas...

Sounds like you may have something strange going on with your "scrap as" value for your platform.

Can you right click your Sony Playstation platform, and go into the Edit Window. Check out what the "Scrap As" value is set to.

The "scrap as" value is good, i'm a long time user of LB... It's why i'm not understand...  I'm just ending the rebuiling of my entire pc, and a lot of things are going wrong...

Here, "Assault Rigs" has found the arcade informations only...  and "Atlantis" shows me "pc" images despite it have the PSX images in metadatas...

Now, if i'm looking at one rom's metadata, while LB is downloading images from emumovies, if i try to MOVE the metadata windows, the entire LB is freezing... the oinly way to continue, is to OPEN the windows task manager!  This bug allways appears!

Just so you know, I've identified an issue with the "scrape as" value not always working during import, and it's on the short list to take a look at fixing.

For now, a workaround can be to import your games using the standard naming convention, then change your Platform name after.
