    Strange, I think I got it to run now. Not really sure what the problem was before. It closed pretty quick after running through the script. I looked on emulation and don't see any covers or metadata

    I scraped mine long time ago and I just keep backups now but from what I can remember to do it from windows I had to first browse from windows networks to the roms folder and map network roms folder...

    On line 17 of script you choose what you want to scrape...for 3d boxarts and screenshots you enter

    Code
    set consoleImg=-console_img="3b,s"

    You can also set the paths in the script but I prefer to edit games.xml with notepad after..

    Then you go to the roms folder from mapped drive and you place the script in the main roms folder..

    Run script and it should download sselph.exe on first run..

    when you r asked which system do you want to scrape you enter the name of the roms subfolder ex nes or snes..

    and it should start scraping.

    Tonight tried to update LE to 9.1.001 but had few issues with RO latest version not starting and older version no audio out.

    Command aplay -L is not working

    Code
    aplay: device_list:272: no soundcards found..

    error in log is

    Code
    error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.0.0

    Adding this to config.txt fixes the audio issue and brings back ALSA options in LE audio output options

    Code
    dtparam=audio=on

    But with this line RA even old version doesn't start,gives same error as latest one..

    Code
    error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.0.0

    I m not sure if removing ALSA from listed audio devices was intended or it's a bug hence the errors from RA

    Now I m back to LE 9.0.2 and everything is working as expected..

    Hopefully this will help bite_your_idols

    With my rpi I use system.d to mount network folders..I assume it s the same with nuc

    see here

    So you mount ip_of_your_nas/emulators to storage/emulators and you should see the content of your nas emulators folder in storage/emulators on Libreelec..then you browse to storage/emulators/roms from ES addon settings...you can just mount the roms folder only but I think its better to mount main emulators folder so you can leave everything on your nas.bioses and assets...artwork etc

    Thanks for this, got the sound working. A few other things now. I want to pull my roms from my synology nas for emulation station. Is there a way to do this? My guess is that I would have to do something like mount each network folder somehow. Also, I'm not getting any scraper information from emulation station

    I have all my roms and artwork on a connected hdd so not sure about that but my first guess is that you should mount the folder on your nas which has your roms to storage/emulators/roms

    Regarding scraping I don't use the built in scraper.I use sselph scraper with fastscraper and then mass edit with notepad++ where needed.

    All you have to do is create an account at screenscraper.fr

    Then get the script from here and insert your account user and psword and edit the script to get your artwork...I got mine set to download 3d boxart and screenshots but you can set it up how you like..

    Lesson learned make sure you always keep backups of your setup as you save loads of time and work...

    If I remember well by default roms folder should be in storage/emulators although I never used that myself as I have my roms on hdd. So probably you won't have to set path if they are in default folder..The important thing is that you make a folder for each emulator and name it exactly like the ES gamelists folder

    Code
    /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/game.emulationstation/gamelists

    So the roms folders will look like this

    Code
    /storage/emulators/roms/nes
/storage/emulators/roms/snes
/storage/emulators/roms/psx
/storage/emulators/roms/megadrive

...etc

    I'm having a really hard time getting retroarch and emulation station to work. Emulation station won't launch and keeps giving me an error of "No systems found". I have an xbox one controller for retroarch, but I can't get it to map in retroarch. I don't see an option to bind the controller. I am running version librelec version 9.0.2. How do I generate some log files so that I can download with you guys to get some help?

    No systems found normally means ES is not finding your roms folder...you have to set path in ES addon settings
