Experiencing a similar issue. Video search comes back with not found, pasting a Youtube URL results in an error dialog.
I unblocked all the DLLs in the directory using powershell:
dir -Path[directory path]-Recurse|Unblock-File
This plugin would be a life saver for my PC game collection, up untill know I keep finding YouTube trailers and downloading them by hand every time.
Hope it can be fixed. ?
In the meantime I have found a somewhat optimized workflow to get video's quickly:
- Open YouTube in browser
- Open 4K Video Download
- Search in YouTube for <game name> gameplay
- Set YouTube filter options to "Short"
- Hoover over videos or open until a nice one is found
- Copy URL
- Switch tab to 4K Video Download, press Paste Link, select quality
- Adapt/default to Launchbox videofolder of choice (will remain set for next time)
- Adjust video name to match game name
- Hit download
- Repeat for next game
Only downside in my opinion is that a lot of these videos features company intro's (Nintendo, IGN etc) and various disclaimers (age restrictions etc) that show up the first 5-15 seconds and these can't be cropped easily. Open to improvements!
