if the game has a video url in the metadata it will download that instead and not search. not sure if all videos are from youtube still.

not sure about the game name thing, it never really happens to me. its itended for windows games mainly and those generally get found quite well. ill think about it but not sure ill come up with a solution.

Its not the first time someone mentions the quality issue. previous versions only downloaded the best quality but video sizes would be large,but I think it may be best to go back to that? if you are trimming videos as well that could also maybe have an effect, i think it may be re encoded. I will have to relook at the code as well as yt-dlp and ffmpeg updates.

Are you saying that all your videos are in 480p?

Yes, yes I know.

From time to time it happens that the video (name) downloads incorrectly, but it's not a big problem, it's more the resolution, maybe that's why it doesn't download well since the plugin is intended for Win games, although it works for other systems
I'll try to capture it on video if it doesn't download properly again.

I was looking through the comments and in fact some people have a similar problem with resolution, unfortunately if you want to have good quality, you have to pay more weight (something for something)

It's a pity that the creators of LB did not implement the possibility of playing video directly from a link, Cloud, etc., or adding a link from NASA, etc., then the problem of quality and space would no longer be a problem, but I suspect that it has its drawbacks and is not easy to implement

I wonder how many people would be interested in a paid server where people would upload media, videos from gaming systems and after adding, for example, a url link, the media and videos would be displayed, but how:

-I see that most of them have their own big, huge drives, NAS drives of several dozen TB, so I think that few people would be interested.
   
- It probably wouldn't be that easy to implement, otherwise there would have been such a solution a long time ago, but maybe I'm wrong.

No, I don't use trim after downloading, I trim it myself in programs.

Unfortunately, most of the videos are downloaded with poor quality, even steam trailers, etc., so if I can't find the video or download it with poor quality, I go to YT etc. and download it with a separate program in the quality I want

@KRI$85 I uploaded a new version, which I believe corrects the quality issue, but I think you're right: I will implement a simple resolution selection in the future.

Still not sure about the search or video name thing, though. Could be videoURL in launchbox but not quite sure.

WooW Express Thank you. I'll test it  

It would be nice and it would definitely help 
people who don't have disks in XXX Tb

It is also possible to add a url with the choice of quality if you find a video on YT that suits a given person, but a faster and simpler solution will probably be the choice of resolution itself

Maybe this is true, I don't have a premium account on Emumovies yet, first I want to build a collection and finally buy premium and download everything in one go, if space allows, and if there is media, video on the server

Hello, the update helped again, so far the download is in the highest quality, but a new problem has appeared, I don't know if it also affects you and others, the so-called no sound in the downloaded files, as in the video. I would like to point out that other videos not downloaded using this plugin have sound as well as the entire system and Lb, etc.

Sorry for the messy video 😕

Edit: Unless you changed the codecs ?

Interesting, I'll have a loook at this. I overlooked the audio as my desktop has no audio besides headphones. Some videos I tested have audio and some don't.

I need to do some reading on yt-dlp formats, LB supported codec and maybe ffmeg conversion as well.

I think, ffmeg may be more integral than I previously thought. you can try downloading ffmpeg and placing it in the plugin folder where yt-dlp is. I think this will combine the video and audio streams for higher quality videos.

you can either download it manually, ytdlp have custom versions, or check the trim videos checkbox for an older version, both i think will work.

Im still planning an updated version of vidsnap scraper but I think the new version may require ffmpeg as default.
