scraper not working

Post by eyefire » Wed Jul 04, 2018 6:57 pm

I am getting the error when I exit to the command line from emulation station:

TheGamesDBRequest - Error parsing XML.
Start-end tag mismatch

This is a totally fresh install of retropie / emulation station from Kite's image for the circuit sword.

Any idea whats going on?

Thanks.

Whew! I was going crazy thinking a file got corrupted... but I have 3 Pis that are all doing that exact same thing.

I'd say something along the lines of a server problem with thegamesdb.. not your system.

Most we can do at this point is wait it out and keep trying. Its been a few days now.

Yup. With same results. sselphs is my go-to. It seems to be a problem with thegamesdb.

Here is some info I found from google.

I can’t confirm this is concrete or speculation so take it as you will.
