[SOFT] Arrm (Another Recalbox Roms Manager)

[mYSt]

@virus-man merci ça fait plaisir!
@nexusone13 ok alors du coup tu utilises la version 1080p du mix et ça ira très bien pour les pc et odroid mais ceux qui ont un raspberry vont rapidement se plaindre de pb mémoire je pense. Y a t'il une option dans ARRM pour resizre les mix généré? sinon il faudra décliner le mix pour chaque package, en fait actuellement suivant le package que tu télécharges 1080/720/480/crt/crt_small le xml du mix est adapté à sa taille.
A voir si on peut trouver une solution sur ce point à l'avenir.

@nexusone13 :
je viens de tester en suivant tes indications pour le template ( copier +coller) mais les snap video ne fonctionne pas pour moi.
ps: super boulot a tous les 2, bosser en colab pour nous pondre un RB d'enfer!

[nexusone13]

Bonjour @lecureuil38
As-tu bien coché la case 'Récupérer la video (Video Tag)' dans l'onglet 'Images options' lorsque tu as scrapé ?

[nexusone13]

@myst les mix générés font un peu moins de 300 ko en 1260x1080

[ViRuS-MaN]

chez moi tout fonctionne nickel , je peux le dire car j ai fait pas mal de test pour nexusone13 et même en 720p ca fonctionne nickel

[mYSt]

@nexusone13 Allors attention je parle de pb memoire GPU et pas de pb de stockage, du coup c'est une histoire de resolution et pas de poid de fichier.

[nexusone13]

@myst je vais ajouter, dans la prochaine version, dans les xml, une indication pour le resizing.

[mYSt]

ok merci!

[lecureuil38]

@nexusone13 : bien coché. mais j'ai trouver l'erreur :
dans la zone nom répertoire vidéos ( onglet option général) j'avais indiqué "media\videos" au lieu de "media/videos" ce qui fait toute la différence, même si les vidéos étaient bien téléchargées dans le répertoire vidéo.

Hi All,

New version of ARRM available :

1.8.5.0 (04/16/2020)

• The bezels / overlays now follow the rules of prioritization by country
• If user doesn't have windows media player, application will not crash anymore, but video will not display
• Addition of the maximum speed according to the number of participation on Screenscraper in the form 'Login Screenscraper'
• Adding a button 'Force MD5 before scraping' in the tab 'Scrap Options' allows to calculate the MD5 (if not already present), before the scrap. The research of information will be done in priority via the MD5 of the Rom
• if MD5 is used, search doesn't use systemeID anymore, nor the filename. This makes it possible to recover the visuals and textual info of identical Rom but belonging to another platform.
• If the preset media order = "** manual **" is selected, the order information entered manually will be taken into account.
• If speedup is activated (Tools tab) the TheGamesDB tables are not loaded at launch. Faster launch

Hi All,

New version of ARRM available :

1.8.6.2 (05/09/2020)

• Add a button 'Use ARRM gamelist' which allows you to use the gamelist_ARRM.xml file (created when saving a gamelist) instead of the gamelist.xml which could have been modified by the frontend and thus was able to delete the custom tags used by ARRM.
• Addition of a checkbox 'ZIP gamelist.xml' in the tab 'Gamelist Options' which allows to zip the gamelist.xml
• Addition of a button 'Create M3U' to create .M3U files used for the multi-disc. See Wiki: http://jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=create_m3u_en
• Addition of a checkbox 'Pad to Keyboard cfg' in the tab 'Scrap Options', allowing to recover, on Screenscraper, for a Rom the configuration file .p2k.cfg. This file allows to assign keyboard keys to a gamepad. Useful for computers on Recalbox. Usable in the next version of Recalbox. For more information see: https://recalbox.gitbook.io/documentation/v/francais/user-avance/configurations/pad-to-keyboard
• Addition of a 'Pad 2 Keyb' button for systems and Roms allowing to edit the .p2k.cfg file
• Addition of the tag <genreid> (numeric id) in the gamelist.xml. It allows you to normalize the genre (only 1 genre) and can be used in a future version of Recalbox to make filters on this <genreid>. The <genreid> is recovered during the scrape. The <gender> tag remains present.
• Addition of the tag <adult> in the gamelist (set to true if one of the genres contains adult otherwise to false) which will be used in a future version of recalbox
• Fixed a bug that caused the Mix'Me module to crash after a template change (thank you Nordicpower)
• Ability to capitalize textual info when saving the gamelist.xml (button: 'XML in uppercase' under the gamelist.xml creation button) Request from Pegoncology. Please note: you can only go back to lower case by rewriting the texts.
• Export test of the gamelist.xml in hyperspin format (button: 'Export as Hyperspin XML' under the create button of the gamelist.xml)
• Correction of a sorting problem when clicking on the columns of the database
• Correction of a bug on the Dev preview overlay when a priority overlay was present
• Various bug fixes
