Ridle commented 9 years ago

Hey I installed the gamelauncher numerous times with he following:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CamHenlin/PlexGameLauncher/master/autoinstall.rb)"

and all goes well, until I restart plex, and I want to select a console. Nothing shows up, allso when I look for Roms, nothing shows up.

Please advice / help me out. Kind regards Dennis de Groot

Hi Dennis, are you putting your ROMs into the correct system directory in your Documents? The path should be ~/Documents/ROMs/

After that, you need to go to the maintenance menu in Plex Game Launcher inside of Plex, and have it scan for new ROMs. Then you can go under systems and your games should show up. Please let me know if that's more clear

Ridle commented 9 years ago

Yeah that is where my roms are. I have: Documents/ROMs/console/super_mario.7z

I deinstalled everything last night and will try to reinstall it tonight, run the Ruby code to install the game launcher and will report back to you.

Hope you can help me out to get this working.

Kind regards Dennis de Groot

Hi Dennis, I'm sorry but the game launcher is not built to handle 7zip files. You'll need to unzip the ROMs first

Ridle commented 9 years ago

Ok, but how do you explain that I don't see any consoles under "Consoles" in the gamelauncher?

CamHenlin commented 9 years ago

That's correct, it will only show consoles that it has found ROMs for, and the scanning system would not consider a 7zip file to be a ROM.

Ridle commented 9 years ago

Ahh ok, and what extension should my SNES roms be?

Ridle commented 9 years ago

Is the extension .sfc good or should i be .smc?

CamHenlin commented 9 years ago

SMC and SFC are the most common, your 7zip file will probably unzip to one of those edit yes sorry I didn't see your last answer

Ridle commented 9 years ago

Ok will try this tonight, it it works, next step: get my PS3 controller to work with the games :)

CamHenlin commented 9 years ago

That's what I use! Good luck!

Ridle commented 9 years ago

Hey CamHelin,

It worked, i can see roms now but now I have the following issue:

When i select the rom i want to play (Super Mario) it says "Can't connect to the selected server or the content is no longer available".

I have the latest Plex Server installed and I have Plex App installed on my Samsung smart TV (UE46D6500 is a D-Series (2011) model). Plex App version: 1.016

Please advice.

Kind regards Dennis de Groot

Sorry, since there are so many controller options, we decided that we really can't help people get those setup. The easiest way is to use a program such as GamePad Companion (from the App Store) and map your controller's keys to keyboard buttons, I believe that's what many users do.

Also, you must be running Plex Home Theater or Plex Media Center on your Macintosh, not your SmartTV. This is Macintosh-only and unsupported on all other Plex systems. What it does is it makes an emulator open outside of Plex, in an emulator built for Mac.

Ridle commented 9 years ago

Ok, than I don't see the use for this. You can just install the emulator instead of plex server + plex app.

Seems a bit weird to me. Thought this would be the system for me.

Ah well too bad.
