Black screen after scraping

BernoO

So, i upgrade to 5.21. On previous versions (5.18 to 5.20 /both x86 and x86_64) i get "batocera.linux" black screen after exit a random game. Sometimes the system it comes back to ES by itself. Else, i have to press ALT+CTRL+F3 and "startx" from command line.

The solution was delete all "gamelist.xml" (generated with Skraper) from roms subfolders, reinstall batocera (let the system redone SHARE partition), set all roms again in SHARE folder, and let ES scan all games.

Until there, everything is smooth.

I try to scrape with Skraper and the black screen is back.
Any advice? Maybe trying with another scraper? What's the issue behind this?

Thanks for this awesome system and for the devs behind all the hard work.

Here are files generated from support script.

This is before the black screen, at power on:

This is after, when enter a game (atari2600) and after exit game, black screen:

Now, this third file is something new. After reboot, i enter file explorer with F1, connect a HDD for extract the support-created files, cut the files, paste on HDD, and press the unmount button...and...BLACK SCREEN.

Please help. I don't want to move almost 400 GB of files again u_u

Luckly, i realized that i have a (smaller but same) backup, so i'll try this program on the same machine. i'll see if i got the issue related.
Thanks!

So far so good with ARRM. I'm using the old pictures from my first scrap (and that's already awesome!)
Downside: Skraper is a multi-task scraper (depending of your account), on screenscraper i got 2 threads...this is one thread program. BUT! I can use the old pictures...

By the way, i can help with the spanish translations. I'm from Chile, and already the spanish translate is a mess. Let me know if i can help, @nexusone13

BernoO ARRM is mono thread unfortunaly. Multi thread is beyond my skill 🙁
Thanks for your proposal, it's very nice, I'll go back to you for the spanish translation in a while 😉
