Problem connecting to the database

Open jagiella opened this issue 5 years ago • 6 comments

Since yesterday UXS can not connect anymore to the database. Is the server down?

Not sure if you're still having an issue. I had the same error, I ran as Admin and I was able to connect.

Use Skraper, is a good soft and is possible to connect screenscraper acount.

Thanks, but Skraper is flawed as well. Even when logged into my account (which I was logged in on Universal XML scraper too fyi), Skraper wanted NINE HOURS to scrape my roms....literally 30 seconds to a full minute EACH. I'm on a 150mbps connection too...and RP3B+ is hooked up via ethernet...horrible.

Hi, I just pass like the wind ;) As already said, I have no more time to keep an eye on UXS. Really sorry for that. Normally it will still working exept maybe some Week End because of server overload.

I sincerly recommand you to use Skraper, it's an UXS++ ;) made by a friend.

If you need 9h with skraper, I think it will be horrible to scrape with UXS...

Some advice :

  • Try to skrape your roms on an USB3 Key (it's really the best way to avoid Network problem with the RPI)
  • Check the numerous options on Skraper, some are very usefull to Fast Scrape.
  • The main advantage is the "Media Cache" on Skraper, it may be long the first time, but quick like a rocket when you need to rescrape.
  • Don't forget to subscribe on Screenscraper website to put your info on Skraper (like UXS)

Thanks again for your effort to still using UXS. But UXS is pretty dead ;) and even if it was one of the first Scraper with a GUI, some have done a relly nice job to make new wonderfull Scraper like "Skraper". don't hesitate to try it ;)

Bye Bye
