The document outlines updates and corrections made to a scraping tool, detailing changes across various versions. Key improvements include bug fixes for SSH functionality, enhanced error handling, new progress bars, and additional configuration options for different platforms. Upcoming features and requests for translations in multiple languages are also mentioned.

1. 2.2.0.3
Corrected :
- Random Error making UXS crash. (Changing a part of MAIN <-> ENGINE
communication system)
- Changing color progressbar is now only green (Maybe a raison of random crash)
- SSH finally will work (sorry for that)
- Apostrophes in filename now works... (Thanks Marblemad)
Added :
- ProgressBar when creating the XML File
2.2.0.2
Corrected :
- Full Scrape don't neverend anymore.
- SSH kill works now on scrape demande.
- Date with only a 'Year' will work now (the date will be 'Year/01/01')
- When adding Missing Rom, Name were "(Clone, Beta, Demo, ...)". It's OK now ;)
- When you force JPG or PNG, Video stay in MP4.
Modification :
- New ProgressBar changing color (Green = OK, Red = Timeout or error download,
Yellow = Not found)
Added :
- New, in case UXS Hang (it never happen ^^), when you re-launch a Scrape, it
will ask you if you want to generate a gamelist.xml with the temporary file
found.
- New Shortcut was created at the first launch : 'Silent_UXS'. You can now run
UXS silently ;)
- New Visual info about Engine Use. Some check box corresponding to the Thread
Number will tell you if the Engine is used or not.
- 2 New Advanced Menu : Reset Autoconfiguration Path and Alt Autoconfiguration
Path (only for Retropie, it put the Rom's Folder Path)
- New Element Type : RomExcluded
Exemple :
<Element Type="RomExcluded">
<Source_Type>Variable_Value</Source_Type>
<Source_Value>%AutoExclude%</Source_Value>
<AutoExcludeEXT>bin|img|iso|ccd|sub</AutoExcludeEXT>
<AutoExcludeValue>(Track |[Bios]|(Bios)</AutoExcludeValue>
</Element>
Mean :
When a duplicate name file (without extension) is found:
- it check the extension. If in list (bin|img|iso|ccd|sub) it won't scrape
it
- it check if the file contain a value ("(Track ","[Bios]","(Bios)"). If
yes, it won't scrape it
