ALIE Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Jason I tested the re scanning of roms. Now it said some games weren't imported for a system that I only have the US roms and European exclusives and strangely enough came up with Japanese titles. All different regions and revisions is in multiple sub folders that I have never pointed LB to. And a suggestion about the theme video's. Could it be possible to have the option to say set all downloads to one creator's set and just hit download instead of having to set each manually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 @ALIE Currently the game folders are recursive, so it will find everything in subfolders as well. It probably should, but that is an interesting scenario that I hadn't thought about. For the theme videos, I just added prioritization in beta 15. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALIE Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Just tried the download everything from one creator. So when I downloaded one set it works flawlessly but I tried to download a second set it said downloading and did the process but nothing was added to the folder. I guess it won't download videos for system's that already has a video. With the old manual way what I did was make a folder for each creator in the videos folder and what I was using would be put into the main folder. Couldn't launchbox make a folder for each set? And maybe you could then pick like the sound sets. And maybe mix and match from within LB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 @ALIE It should overwrite your existing files in that case. Yeah, I am hoping to add support for multiple videos per platform eventually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all you'll need an EmuMovies premium account and the latest LB beta. - Open LaunchBox, go to your Arcade Platform(s) and select all your games with CTRL+A. - Than go to Tools -> Download Metadata and Images. - Click through the wizard and deselect all media types except for "Video - Theme" on the EmuMovies media dialog. - Choose "Yes, but do not replace any existing fields" and let LB download all available themes for you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this work with all themes? Or specific enabled ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Do you mean the Video Themes or Big Box themes? If you are referring to the videos than you should find theme videos for almost all arcade systems with this method. There are no videos for consoles, computers, handhelds, etc at the moment, just arcade. If you mean Big Box themes. Yes, all Video Themes will work with all Big Box themes. But depending on the theme/view they won't look right or be too small. You may want to use themes which have a view that features huge gameplay videos without stretching them. Btw. I have just updated my own theme with 2 additional views which were designed for these Video Themes 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddoc1007 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 (edited) @Jason Carr Latest beta has broken coverflow images in the new views HorizontalWheel1, HorizontalWheel2, and HorizontalWheel3, they are just showing blank with LaunchBox Logo. I had to revert back to beta 15 and they work again. Edited December 3, 2016 by Maddoc1007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imdavid555 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Holy Smoke that looks awesome!!! Can't wait to try this out. Hopefully it will be soon. Thank you Cid for all your hard work getting these themes to video. Not an easy task. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePolish Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Am I correct to assume game theme videos requires the emumovies premium subscription? It's a great feature but between the LB database and YouTube, I've thus far pieced together everything for big box without the subscription.

CriticalCid Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Yes, when you want to download them comfortable and simple through LaunchBox you'll need an EmuMovies premium membership. But the video themes are also coming for free users to the EmuMovies website next week. But as free user you’ll have a daily 1.5GB download limit so you’ll probably need 1 or 2 weeks until you have everything downloaded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a limited number of arcade titles, mostly emulate consoles. I enjoy the piecemeal approach so 1.5gb is more than plenty. I almost feel bad trying to be cheap but on the other side, aside from LB premium, I try to upload and give back to the LB database where I can with clear logos.
