Solved screenscraper.fr is back to work, but Internal Skraper no - RB 7.0.1 - RPI 3B+

You need to register user.
Create account user and edit recalbox.conf

@acris Hi, same problem here.
I created a account on https://screenscraper.fr/ and edit the recalbox.conf file.

### ScreenScraper account
;scraper.screenscraper.user=******
;scraper.screenscraper.password=*******

But it wont work for me.

[acris]

you need to delete symbol : ;

### ScreenScraper account
scraper.screenscraper.user=******
scraper.screenscraper.password=*******

I tried and work for me,

the servers are overloaded on weekends.
Scrape your romsets during the week.

I got it to work a few days ago using user and pass, but it crashes very often, if I'm lucky, scraps a couple of hundreads, but eventually I get "Error saving resized image. Out of memory? Disk full?". I still have plenty of gigs on my disk. Running 6.1.1 Dragonblaze on a PI3B+. Is anybody else having this issue? Thanks in advance!

@edubois said in screenscraper.fr is back to work, but Internal Skraper no - RB 7.0.1 - RPI 3B+:

Running 6.1.1 Dragonblaze on a PI3B+

no support for 6.1.1, upgrade or user external software like : skraper or arrm.

Hey...

I can't register on screenscraper.fr..... I never recive a mail from them.... Any solution ?

[neo207]

it doesn't work for me, it says scrape finished, completed... but all games are not found... hmm

[edubois]

@FoLeY emails are no longer sent. I registered and got an account working without the email step. Login with the credentials you registered with, and will work.

[edubois]

@acris no support because 7.0.1 is out? I tried it, and honestly, I felt performance issues on my 3b+, and some games (like Marvel vs Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes in Neo Geo) stopped working, that's why I went back to 6.1.1.

[FoLeY]

Thanks edubois... I will give it a try...

Hi all,

same problem here! What I know, screenscraper.fr and its API is blocked for non-registered users up to now.

The hint with the recalbox.conf to add user credentials (from registration at screenscraper.fr) helps a lot in order to call the API as registrated user, which I will try. Thanks!

The status update to the API on screenscraper.fr says:

"The API is closed to all anonymous users (not registered for free on ScreenScraper) for now.
The CPU occupancy rate of the main server seems very high."

I think, that their new setup with loadbalancing still does not work, since CPU1 = 84% and CPU2 = 12%... (ideally it should be 50%/50%) but I don't know their internals.
