Issues with new install of My Emulators 2 (1 Viewer)

[alexanderfoti]

Hi all

I am having a few issues with My Emulators 2.

It would seem the online scraping/searching system is not working correctly. When I add an an emulator, it is unable to search for the profile online, instead giving a drop down that is blank.

Then, when I import games, I get "Waiting for approvals 0/21" but have no way to approve any of the results. The title drop down is blank:

I have this in the logs as well:

I am running MP 1.21 on Windows 10.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Site http://maws.mameworld.info return:

Some forum message:

That explains that one

However all the scrapers have issues. Some give errors in the logs such as:

[2019-03-22 19:13:08,222] [Error  ] [Importer Thread] [ERROR] - Emulators2 Cornerstone: Connection failed: URL=http://thegamesdb.net/api/GetGamesList.php?name=super%20mario%2064&platform=Nintendo 64, Status=NotFound, Description=Not Found.
[2019-03-22 19:13:08,226] [Error  ] [Importer Thread] [ERROR] - Emulators2 Cornerstone: Scraper Script XPATH parsing failed: Root element is missing

Some give nothing in the logs. I have tried all scrapers one by one and they are all the same.

so, is the issue with the scapers, or is the issue with My Emulators 2 plugin having outdated API config?

thegamesdb.net/api

API for thegamesdb changed ... Swagger UI

@alexanderfoti @ajs Exactly 1 day short of 6 years since I last updated this plugin, I've pushed a fix for TheGamesDb, you can get it from here, or from the extensions installer.

 

[alexanderfoti]

Thanks very much. I am giving it a go now.

Much appreciated.

With just thegamesdb.net set, I get the following error:

[2019-06-12 08:42:10,746] [Config ] [Importer Thread] [ERROR] - Emulators 2: Unhandled error in Importer - Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

I wonder what dependency is missing?

I do have Netwonsoft.Json.dll in my plugins/windows directory, but its version 12.0.2.23222 and the plugin appears to be referencing an older version?

 

[Brownard]

Thanks, I wondered whether that reference might cause some issues, I'll check it this evening. Can you tell me what other plugins you have installed?

 

[alexanderfoti]

No probs.

Plugins installed are:
Moving pictures
MP-TV Series
My Emulators 2
OnlineVideos
Trailers
Trakt

otherwise standard

 

[Brownard]

@alexanderfoti I think I've pushed a fix, let me know. It was caused by the Trakt plugin referencing/installing a different version of Newtonsoft.Json, I've changed it so that the plugin now uses the same version in the same place.
