Hi,
I would like to thank you for your project. It's awesome and a good alternative to UXS from Screech.
I have one request:
could it be possible not to limit the media link to only image and video in the gamelists?
I explain:
In the Médias tab, you can add many medias to scrap but only the image and video ones are inserted in the gamelist.xml.
You have an option called "Lié à partir du noeud 'aucun'" but it's useless as no new item is inserted.
Could it be possible to configure it?
Thank you for your work!!
Problem with SCUMMVM...and maybe for PC games as well...
When trying to scrape SCUMMVM, it is recognizing all the ROM folders, including SCUMMVM folder, but does not see any games/roms. In my case, each one of my SCUMMVM games and all of their files are in subfolders. I am assuming that Skraper only checks for .scummvm files in the first level directory? Or am I doing something wrong?
@sag508 : Starting from 2018 releases, Recalbox supports ScummVM games being identified by their root folders by adding .scummvm to the folder names.
In Skraper, the ScummVM identification requires both .scummvm extension: root folder + identification file.
This will change in next releases as soon as I have time to work on this.
For now, just add .scummvm to the folder names and it should work properly. Doing so will remove the root folders in EmulationStation and will run the game immediately instead of entering its root folder first.
@cotedeporc : When I started Skraper, the very first interface allowed to enter manually XML nodes for every media. However, most people ignore the structure of gamelist.xml and just want to get their games scraped with 3 clicks. I had to find a more ergonomic way: full automatic, depending of the actual media support of the frontend.
Integrating custom xml nodes is planned anyway in expert mode, but I've a lot of other features to add before.
Skraper Beta7 released.
Awesome!
One question: is it possible to retrieve the pictogram of the game type?
I see in your doc that you can display the nb player, etc.
Thx!
@cotedeporc Not yet, but it can be added easily for the next beta 
@bkg2k
Argh! I can't wait for it!!! ;o)
It's the last thing I need to be able to rewrite my UXS mix....
Do you think it will be possible to obtain the different type? Like Plateform and Action for Aladdin on MegaDrive?
One last request: could it be possible to obtain the company logo?
@cotedeporc I just discovered your two Themes. Very good work, I'll probably test them very soon.
Since I just start adding missing features to the "image composition" system, it's the right time to tell what you need.
Here is what's already planned (including your last requirements):
Just one request! ;o)
Can you make possible to choose, for the Genre, between PictoList and Picto Monochrome?
And the same for the company logo?
The next release is very promising!!
Thank you!
@cotedeporc Yes, available in all versions.
@cotedeporc You can visit the ScreenScraper's IRC channel where I make intermediate IRC-only releases, if you wanna test and help debugging the next Skraper
I will check that! Thx!
Starting from the Beta 7, Skraper silently (almost) adds two features that help the new Recalbox 18.06.27:

Hey there I am a user of Skraper but I use it for LaunchBox and since this is the only forum which had a topic for Skraper I figured it would be better to post here and so @Bkg2k could you assist me to use all 10 Work Engines or at least 2 work engines on Skraper because currently, only 1 is working and so scraping one of my the ROM collections I have takes around 8 Hours and I would honestly love Skraper even more if I were able to get the ROMS scraped in a lower amount of time
Hi @Sam-Saju
if you want more 'thread' you need to help us on ScreenScraper DB
The easy way : give a little of your time filling the hole in the DB (Synopsys, media, info,...)
The money way : give some buck on Tipee or patreon
The soft and DB access is fully free, but to thanks our helper and donnator, we give them more "speed" and ressources from our server
And you can always come to see us here : https://www.screenscraper.fr/ Or on IRC
(there is a forum also where you can talk about Launchbox )
Can you make a platform for Pokemon ROM hacks on screenscraper.fr because I don't see much stuff that you are missing in terms of media because you've done a pretty good job of getting well everything or I guess I could try to get the missing media for some FB Alpha titles and one more thing could you update SKraper to have FB Alpha scraped into FinalBurn Alpha instead of arcade or give us the option to customize where it should go because I just find pain trying to fix things after like it goes in arcade and the last thing I want to say is thank you for creating such a good scraper.
I originally was using Universal XML scraper until I came across Skraper beta (through screenscraper). I used it to supplement UXML, but I finally decided to make the switch to Skraper. Main reason is it scraped more reliable. I would be missing random boxart with UXML for example. I am impressed with the customizability, and the progress Skraper is making. Looking forward to DOS scraping!
Is there a thread dedicated Skraper forum for user contributed mix profiles (or Skraper in general)? I haven't been able to locate any except the small handful that's included with Skraper. I was trying to make one but I was having a very hard time not seeing the changes in real time, and I figured there must be some creative mixes out there.
Hi there, really enjoying this scraper but I have a couple of requests. The first is allowing us to specify a custom gamelist node since it selects 'none' for anything that it doesn't recognise (which is nearly everything).
The other would be to add support for Pegasus Frontend. The details of this frontend's metadata can be found here: http://pegasus-frontend.org/docs/user-guide/meta-assets/
Thanks and keep up the great work!
While I like Skraper, how can I make it recognice a rom it didn't catch by itself?
I have, for example, in psx a rom "Tempest X3.pbp" and "Tempest X3" is also the name on screenscraper.fr, but Skraper doesn't get it.
Can I select this somehow manually?
Sadly, the inbuild scraper on retrobox latest beta (pi 3b+) is broken, so I cannot use this for individual scraping.
