Would be better if it didnt download videos with commentary.  They are useless. 

Well obviously there is no way for the plugin to know if there is commentary or not.

Thanks for this awesome plugin.

Is there anyway to force a certain quality? I would like to download all 4k trailers for my game if there is one... I would like it to try 4k,1080p,720,480, in that order if one was to fail...

I type 4k in the search terms but it still wont work properly and downloads a lower quality video. I have made an alternative script to do it with just a game name having to be manually input but I have no clue how to build a plugin for launchbox lol.

Thanks

there's no point to download 4K videos for such small resolution window even for bigbox, it's a waste of HDD

That's OK, everyone has their own reasons and opinions, if it doesn't work for you or seems wasteful then I guess you're right and everyone else that asks otherwise must be wrong. I will just use my script I made for the 4k videos. I play it on a 65" 4k TV with friends and if they haven't heard of the game, I show them the trailer full screen, which looks meh in 1080p not horrible but meh (looking for a "wow" not a "meh"). Thanks for the comment though. I also have 32TB on my pc so I'm not tight for space and will continue with my 4k trailers, it was just a request. Have a great day.

Hi @srxz. I am an user since it was released. I love it!

I am sorry to bother you again. Since at least a week is failing again. I paste the error below:

I tested it with a few videos like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX1W710uA3Y

I updated Youtube Scraper but it won't load LB and I don't get the option to Unblock the DLL it in Properties. I'm on a Windows 10 x64 with latest OS updates as of 10/2020. Any suggestions?

I just tried version 0.1.9 and when I right-click on the game the options for youtube scraper are not there. ?

I'm having the same problem. I deleted the old files, extracted the contents of the zip file to the folder. Made sure that the dll files didn't need to be unblocked (the option wasn't there). Loaded up Launch Box, and when I right click on a game, the option for YouTube Scraper isn't there. Even tried deleting the entire folder & remaking it, just to make sure I didn't do something wrong. 

Did you happen to get it working, Zoratsu? Anyone have any ideas? This is one of the most handy plugins, so I want to see if I can get it working.
