Drexyl 4 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hi all, Had been a while since I had NESBox and SNESBox plugins installed, so I installed them the other night, but I don't seem to be getting any links in the web interface to play the game anymore. MB-Server: 3.0.5171.19958 GameBrowser: 2.9.5165.23954 NESBox: 1.0.5165.30038 SNESBox: 1.0.5165.30043 Not sure if this has come about after the latest server release or not. Otherwise, everything else in the new server seems to be working great. Looooove being able to watch LiveTV at work. As always, awesome job. Cheers, Drexyl.

Drexyl 4 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 *bump* 53 views, not one reply. Maybe I need to add a pic to my profile so I get noticed. Not up to server version 3.0.5202.39823 and still missing the play buttons.I anyone able to at least confirm they have this working still? So I at least know it's an issue with my setup or more wide spread?Cheers Drexyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36878 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 try refreshing some titles to see if it comes back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drexyl 4 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Hey Luke, Thanks for replying.I've refreshed titles, setup brand new clean server, setup new libraries on different servers, still the same unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36878 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 well the identification is purely name based. there's no nes box id or search feature. so it's possible it's just not matching them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drexyl 4 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 It was working at one stage, but unfortunately, I didn't notice what broke it.The filenames and directory structures haven't changed. Do these new red circles with warning symbols have anything to do with it? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36878 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 probably not, but you can use the identify feature to fix those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drexyl 4 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Identify doesn't seem to want to do anything. Even when I put in TheGamesDB id the metadata page doesn't show the ID. I'll keep playing and see if I can find anything else.I'll assume it works for you though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drexyl 4 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Yet another clean install of server, and setup a new server share for games, gave everyone full control of file permissions and full control of the share (for testing) and still nothing. Indentify still fails to populate anything that's missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36878 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 ok well you need to check out the pinned topic about how to report an issue because you're not telling us anything that can lead to us being able to help you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drexyl 4 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 All good.. I think I've got it sorted. Started clean again, then started by adding one game at a time. On initial scan of new roms, no GamesDB ID or NES/SNESBox links show in the meta data. If I do a refresh, then identify, save, and then refresh, GamesDB and NES/SNESBox link id's are displaying, and my play button is back. Thanks for your help Luke.

dotnetzero 5 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Hey Guys- I've got my NES and SNES catalogs all configured and working well in MBT. It took forever but I've got both collections identified and have box art for everything. I was just browsing the plugins and saw NesBox / SnesBox. Mind...blown. Unfortunately I installed the plugins and have no PLAY buttons in the web client. I wasn't exactly sure where the play button was supposed to be so I did some google image searching. It's definitely no where to be found. Is there something that i'm missing?Server version: 3.0.5340.21263GameBrowser 2.9.5324.26435NESBox: 1.0.5321.43172SNESBox: 1.0.5321.43175 Edited August 21, 2014 by dotnetzero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotnetzero 5 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 In case anyone was having the same problem, I figured it out. Even though I had all of my roms identified, they weren't identified for nesBox/SnesBox. When i went into the meta data editor I noticed that there was now an NesBoxId field, along with an NesRomId field which were blank. When I re-identified the game, now that the plugins were installed, it pulled in the appropriate ids for each field. So, i guess a little advice would be to install the plugins BEFORE going in and identifying all of your games. I'm not really sure how the plugin works though. Even though the game is identified by NesBox, and I now have the PLAY button, it sends me over to the NES box site with some querystring parameters, but then just redirects me back to the nesbox homepage. Oh well, was cool in theory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
