Done, you can now choose what frame you want. Yeah, you can copy-paste the image in the screenshot folder and run a audit of the plateform.

I hadn't thought it was in that folder. Since my software can run from anywhere, I added some code that checks for the presence of ffmpeg when the video folder is selected; if it's in launchbox\videos\platform, it populates the field. I couldn't think of any other way, but it works.

LaunchBox Custom Copier View File Hi, I created a small Windows tool that allows you to build a customized copy of your LaunchBox setup by selecting only the platforms you want to keep. The goal is simple: reduce size, organize your collection, and create portable LaunchBox builds (for external drives, backups, or dedicated setups). How it works: Select your LaunchBox folder (source) Choose a destination folder Pick the platforms you want The tool calculates the total size (games + media) Start the copy process What gets copied: Games Images Videos Manuals Music Only the selected platforms are included. Everything is reorganized automatically into a clean structure. The games are copied to the Launchbox\Games\Platform. The configuration files are modified with the new path. Optimized for emulator games with a single file or with .cue and m3u files. For other types of games (Windows and others), which contain multiple files, you will need to copy them manually. Game handling: Supports single-file formats (ISO, CHD, RVZ, etc.) Supports M3U playlists (multi-disc games) Supports CUE files and their referenced tracks Automatically includes all required files Avoids duplicates during size calculation Additional features: Estimating size before copying Automatic update of ApplicationPath in platform XML files Preserves all other LaunchBox data and configuration Does not modify the original LaunchBox installation The result is a fully independent LaunchBox setup containing only what you selected. This tool is especially useful if you want a smaller, optimized LaunchBox build for emulation setups or storage-limited environments. There is no progress bar, but the 2nd window indicates the folder being copied. Submitter thewhite Submitted 04/07/2026 Category Third-party Apps and Plugins

Clips YouTube Downloader View File 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. Submitter thewhite Submitted 09/21/2025 Category Third-party Apps and Plugins  

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?
