This software was created to download missing videos from your games and which are among other things missing from emumovies. What it does: 📥 Clips YouTube Downloader – Creates 40-second gameplay clips directly from YouTube URLs stored in your LaunchBox platform XML files. Perfect for building a consistent library of preview videos. 40-second clips are created from half of the video or the first 40 seconds if it is too short. 🧹 Remove URL from XML – Cleans up dead or broken YouTube links in your XML so LaunchBox won’t try to download them again. 🔧 Fix Missing Video – Scans your video folders, compares them with your XML entries, and corrects the missing status if a clip is already present but incorrectly marked as absent. How to use it: Download the required Youtube downloader and FFmpeg via the button or browse for the path to use. Select the platform XML file you want to work with. Choose what you want to do: Download videos from YouTube and create clips with the Start button, Create only video clips, useful if ffmpeg freezes during a video, even if the software tries to detect problems at this level. Move the downloaded clips into the correct LaunchBox Videos folder for that platform. Use the button Remove URL from XML, to remove dead links and Fix missing videos to fix the platform file with the newly created clips. Use the "update metadata" tool if some errors persist in the platform file; video present, but not seen by launchbox. Select all games on a platform, Tools -> Downloads -> Update metadata and media for Selected Games. Choose not to download any media and "Yes, but do not replace any existing fields of media (recommended)". That’s it — you’ll have a cleaner, more accurate library with proper 40-second preview videos for your games. -

Thanks, i found a way to do it correctly.

Hello, I've developed an application that downloads video clips from games and renames the files according to the game. After moving the games to the corresponding Video folder, Launchbox sees that there's a video, but the XML file isn't corrected on this line: <MissingVideo>true</MissingVideo> How do I update the XML file? Does Launchbox update it automatically after a certain amount of time? Manually, it updates by editing a game and then clicking OK, but I can't do this for every game. Any ideas?

You could check it the plugin done by Joe are able to see your platform; I don't know why the auto detect does not work, maybe there is a wrong setup in lauchbox. If you Edit your platform "Atari 5200", does the title is "atari 5200" and the scrape as is "atari 5200"? The checkbox need to match with the title, for this case it's "Atari 5200", but auto detect, doesn't use the title. -

Hi, when installing this update, i get many files with this error "the source file is corrupted" all on thirdparty\chromium folder. I disabled bitdefender, only windows defender is running. Also, when installing the update, the accent on the "e" or "a" with à and other symbol.

While we're on the topic of missing items, can those be included in the translations? Everything in the right window.

Do you know why some word can't be translated? Like these one; In Tools -> Import -> rom files -> single platform and multiples plaforms In game details, under metadata -> Games Saves Strings.fr-FR13-23.zip

It's in the section "Third-party Apps and Plugins", this one is a apps not a plugin 😉 -

Hi, this is not a plugin, software is standalone, don't put it in your launchbox folder, just run "missing titles.exe". -

Hi everyone, I’d like to share a small utility I created called M3U Generator. It’s designed to automatically generate .m3u files for multi-disc games, commonly used with emulators like RetroArch and others that support playlist-style disc switching. 💡 What it does: Scans a selected folder for game files (.cue, .iso, .img, .bin). Groups discs belonging to the same game (based on filenames). Creates .m3u playlist files in a subfolder named m3u. Optionally includes single-disc games as well. 📦 Features: ✅ Supports subfolder-style or flat playlist paths (..\\ or current folder). 🔍 Filter results based on a keyword (e.g., "Disc" or "CD") to process only relevant files. 📝 Displays a log of the generated .m3u content directly in the software. 🧠 Automatically names playlists based on the first disc. 🕹 Example use case: Let’s say you have these files: Game Title (Disc 1).cue Game Title (Disc 2).cue The software will create: m3u/Game Title (Disc 1).m3u With content: ..\Game Title (Disc 1).cue ..\Game Title (Disc 2).cue 📥 How to use it: Launch the application. Click "Select Folder" and choose the directory where your ROMs are located. Optionally enter a filter term like Disc to process only multi-disc games. Choose path mode (relative or current folder). Check the "Include single-disc games" option if needed. Click "Start" – the .m3u files will be generated in a m3u subfolder. The output will be shown in the result textbox and also saved to 1-m3u_results.txt.
