Glad to hear…erhm…read!
What folder do you put Roms in if not running them from usb or sd card?
/storage/roms
I noticed that the built in scraper of emulationstation does not find anything. Did this work for you @shanti? I wonder if I maybe have to set up inet connection in emulationstation again to make it work, because based on the search words it should find sth.
The built in scraper has been broken for a while in ES, its a hit and miss, I never use it and at one point I even removed the menu option completely, but for some reason some people wanted it back, so its there again.
The one I use is sselph’s scraper, unfortunately needs to be accessed from SSH.
if you just want to scrape all the folders just do
cd /storage/roms
scraper
it also has a LOT of options you can check them by running
scraper --help
Unfortunately I can’t remember if I included it in the add-on 
but if its not there it will be in the next version for sure or you can just put the binary in the add-on bin folder.

I’ve been trying to adapt it to the ES menu itself, but I am not that good at C++ to be able to accomplish it yet 
It might now even be possible/easier to do in Kodi

This is kind of off topic but maybe sb here also uses the kodi backup addon.
With Sx05RE addon installed, the backup takes forever, I guess because also the roms folder is backed up. Unfortunatly the backup addon only has the option to exclude all addons and addon data in its backup.
Can anyone think of a way to just exclude the Sx05RE Addon + its data from the automatic backups? Maybe there’s another backup addon that has such option?
I currently use this “standard” one: https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Backup
scraper works, so it’s included in the addon 
However it tells me that thegamedb.net is down. Running it with no checks option doesn’t work either.
My guess is that for some reason the addon or maybe emulation station cannot establish a internet connection.
I also noticed that restart emulationstation does not seem to work. I thought it would be handy if I add new roms while in the addon. Or is there some reload option I missed?
The site is down, it’s not the addons fault.
lol, you’re right, now it’s down. Of course earlier after I got the response from scraper command I checked and it was up…Ok, gotta check if there are alternatives and if and how I could change the scraping site so scraper command gets the stuff from a different site.
Which scraper are you using? If it’s the one that is on the emulationstation menu it has been broken for a while.
I tried cd into roms folder and scraper.
Another question: Is there a list of all contained emulators in this addon? Like for example is there also dolphin emulator included? I see it here on github:
https://github.com/shantigilbert/CoreELEC/tree/Sx05RE/packages/emulation
Dolphin for the s905? Not going to happen it’s just not powerful enough. The included emulators you can see in retroarch. But I will list all of the included cores when I release a new version in the next following days.

Hello, my name is Kifen(szkifen) and mine is PHICOMM T1(S912). I use LibreELEC-S912. aarch 64-9.1. After I add your plugin, the boot plugin jumps back to the KODI desktop. Unable to start Sx05RE Kodi Addon 2.2（S912）. Is there a solution? PHICOMM T1 can’t use CoreELEC.HELP。
Sorry I have not tested this on LibreELEC, but maybe you can provide logs?

The add-on is made to work on a 32bit user-space, you are using 64bit. why can’t you use CoreELEC ?
