[Feature] Scraping by filename
I added Mame roms to collection, many of them are not recognized by scrapers
Describe the solution you'd like As I can see on Manual math screen, scraping is done by id or game title. It should be done also with filename (screenscraper supports it)
What did you name the platform folder? MAME ROMs should be stored under (or mapped to) arcade, as that'll match against our internal mame.xml file by filename.
I mapped it to arcade, the name is correctly resolved but the assets scraping fails (i.e. a random game: woodpeck.zip -> Woodpecker, scraping failed)
Everything is working as expected, it's just that IGDB and SSFR don't have entries for Woodpecker (but Mobygames does), so you won't get any results for it. We do have that specific game in our MAME list: "woodpeck": {"@name": "woodpeck", "@index": "", "@image": "", "description": "Woodpecker (set 1)", "cloneof": null, "crc": null, "manufacturer": "Amenip (Palcom Queen River)", "year": "1981", "genre": "Platform", "rating": null, "enabled": "Yes"},.
Ah I see what's happening here, can you try the "Refresh metadata" option and see if that matches the game? FWIW the filename needs to be woodpeck.zip.
Same. Looks like search is done by name only. Same is with almost all CPS3 games
Looks like search is done by name only
@zurdi15 does the search endpoint for SSRF only accept file names?
SSFR seems to accept a file name (with extension) in a different endpoint we are currently using with the params romtype and romnom.
endpoint: jeuInfos.php
I managed to get the correct API response to identify that MAME title:
It seems to return the same response with the systemeid of any arcade platform.
We would need to add that endpoint to the SSFR handler
