Fuzzy Retroarch thumbnail downloader
In Retroarch, when you use the manual scanner to get non-standard games or hacks, thumbnails often fail to download.
This program, for each game label on a playlist, downloads the 'most similar' image, and creates a symlink (linux) or copy (windows) to display the image in retroarch.
It has several options to fit unusual game names, but you can just run it. It will ask for the CFG, playlist and system if they're not provided.
Example: the Retroplay WHDLoad set has names like MonkeyIsland2_v1.3_0020 after a manual scan.
These names don't have subtitles, don't have spaces, and all the metadata is not separated from the name by parenthesis.
- To get a good number of hits in this set you could call:
-
libretrofuzz --no-subtitle --rmspaces --before '_' - Or with probably more false positives (--no-meta is needed because it's applied to server thumbnail names too):
-
libretrofuzz --no-subtitle --rmspaces --no-meta --no-fail
Usage: fuzzythumbnails.py [OPTIONS] [CFG]
- Arguments:
-
- [CFG] Path to the retroarch cfg file. [default:
- ~/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg]
- Options:
-
--playlist TEXT Playlist name to download thumbnails for. If not provided, asked from the user. --system TEXT Directory in the server to download thumbnails from. If not provided, asked from the user. --fail no-fail Fail if the similarity score is under 100, --no- fail may cause false positives, but can increase matches in sets with nonstandard names. [default: fail] --meta no-meta Match name () delimited metadata, --no-meta may cause false positives, but can increase matches in sets with nonstandard names. [default: meta] --dump no-dump Match name [] delimited metadata, --dump may cause false positives, but can increase matches for hacks, if the hack has thumbnails. [default: no-dump] --subtitle no-subtitle Match name before the last hyphen, --no-subtitle may cause false positives, but can increase matches in sets with incomplete names. [default: subtitle] --rmspaces no-rmspaces Instead of uniquifying spaces in normalization, remove them, --rmspaces may cause false negatives, but some sets do not have spaces in the title. Best used with --no-dump --no-meta --no-subtitle. [default: no-rmspaces] --before TEXT Use only the part of the name before TEXT to match. TEXT may not be inside of a parenthesis of any kind. This operates only on the playlist names, implies --nodump and --no-meta and may cause false positives but some sets do not have traditional separators. --install-completion Install completion for the current shell. --show-completion Show completion for the current shell, to copy it or customize the installation. --help Show this message and exit. - To install the program, type on the cmd line
