Multi-disc PSX games won't scan

[tycannon]

Scanner doesn't recognize multi-disc games. I assume because it's a playlist .m3u and hidden folder with multiple .chd. Is this something that can get added?

hm yeah i will try to address this in the next release

thanks. for a workaround I just made empty text files and called them gamename.chd, rescanned, got the art, then deleted those files.

so i took a look into this issue. I think what caused this behavior is the fact you have a hidden dir and i ignore hidden dirs because of other systems e.g., MAME etc.. You could have simply removed the . before the dir momentarily and it would have probably worked. I could add a per system setting to ignore hidden dirs but i think it would be overkill just to support a case where .m3u playlist are used instead. Could you maybe try by Unhidding the directory and check if it worked (instead of creating tmp files for each rom and then deleting them)

Hi, I was having this same issue, I read the code and found that the '.m3u' extension is flagged as an invalid rom extension in the function is_valid_rom(self, rom) from the app.py file , this might be the issue (I say might because I'm not familiar with the rest of the code hence why I havent made a request)

Removing that extension there should (as I understand) make m3u files valid for scrapping. Please look into this. Thanks!

@milouk how would one go about compiling artie and checking whether making that change would actually allow for multi disc games to have their art be scraped for or not?
