Ran Skraper and converted game list to metadata file. I have the thumbs but not the background art. I did not see documentation that says which art type this theme needs.

Hi! For the large image, it uses screenshot, while for the grid icon it uses the first valid one from the following list:

banner
steam
marquee
tile
boxFront
poster
cartridge

Hmm I have many of those. Is there a setting when skraping (Skraper) that needs to be checked to ensure the additional images are added to the metadata file?

mmatyas commented 1 year ago

As far as I know, no, but it's been a while since I last used Skraper. As long as you have screenshot selected, it should be present in the files Skraper generates.

So I think I see the issue. When I use the concert tool it does not convert all of the assets from the game list file to the metadata file. Attached you can see that only two lines show on the right.

Do you happen to know how this theme looks for the art in the file? As mentioned even though I have the art in the folder and the line in Gamelist the art isn't showing. Once converted to metadata I lose the thumbnail, image etc.

The thumbnail asset was traditionally either not used in ES, or was assumed to be a smaller version of image, so it's not converted to anything. The theme uses a screenshot for the main image, so it's not too much a problem either.

On the other hand, it seems you have a standard Skraper media directory next to your games. I don't see the full filename, but if you have the screenshots downloaded, you might be able to just autodetect the images without any manual asset definitions.
