Launchbox Auto Import - Problem with Images

Open Dunkler2Engel opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Hi! I have launchbox with the names of the media to be de same as the rom files, for use the same media in other frontends. And with Launchbox works without any problem. I try to config Pegasus to use "Other data Source" with the directory of launchbox, and metadata works well, but the media is not recognized. I think is because the frontend only search for the default name in launchbox with the game name and -01, and not by the rom name. Any way to fix it? Or add support for both name/rom formats?

For rename the media in launchbox i was use this plugin https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/file/4197-rename-media-imagesvideos-as-rom-name-or-game-name-format/

Hi! There's built-in support for LaunchBox (enabled by default under "Enable/disable data sources") which might have better support for assets and data coming from LaunchBox. There's no UI for configuring the installation directory of LaunchBox yet, but you can set it manually, see https://pegasus-frontend.org/docs/user-guide/meta-sources/#launchbox

I know, i do that, as a say the problem is the support for launchbox in pegasus, only show the media if the name of the files are "Tittle of the game", and i have the media with the name of the files "Name of the rom", in launchbox both work well, but in pegasus only is recognized the first. An example

If the rom name is Super Mario 3 (USA).zip.

Pegasus only see the media if is called: Super Mario 3-01.png (Game Tittle)

But in Launchbox media can be: Super Mario 3-01.png (Game Tittle) Super Mario 3 (USA).png (Rom Name)

Any news about this? I think that making it compatible with both formats might not be that difficult, unfortunately I don't know how to do it.
