Premium = automatically tag preview videos?

[Naddel81]

Hi @ all,

 

I am considering a premium license and would like to know if my database is automatically updated with preview videos. Is that possible?

 

If yes, how long and how big (in megabytes) such a video for one game is approximately?

 

Best wishes!

LBGDB doesn't host any videos to be able to get videos you also have to have a membership at emumovies and to not be limited to how much bandwidth you can use you have to be a paid member there or you can get there lower quality stuff there for free but with daily download limits.

[Naddel81]

thanks for your reply. so quality on emumovies is based on whether I pay or not?

can I enjoy videos on launchbox as a basic user as well? would like to try it out.

You can there are some free sources but none that are integrated with LB.

[Naddel81]

so I registered at emumovies. can I import those movies now into my non-premium launchbox?

[DOS76]

I had LB premium before it even supported videos so I don't know if you can use them when you aren't a premium member I don't think you can but I'm not positive.

There are no more daily bandwidth limits at EmuMovies anymore. The only thing you can do with a free account is download the pack and insert it manually. However, the names might be slightly off and you're gonna get video for every game in that platform and not just the ones you have. In order to download Game Videos automatically you do need a LaunchBox Premium Account and an Emu Movies Premium Account as well. With just a LaunchBox Premium you do get the system videos.

If you do decide to get EmuMovies Premium (You can try a month out for fairly cheap), in order to download the video: click on a platform on the left, click a game, Ctrl + A to highlight everything, go to Tools -> Download Metadata and Media, go through the Wizard, when it asks you a multi-choice question pick option 2 (which should be to not replace any existing fields), then go through the rest of it. On the EmuMovies screen, at the very bottom, and once you have both Premiums, there should be video boxes that are checked.

Good to know wasn't aware they had changed their policy

[SentaiBrad]

Yea, our EmuMovies video should still have all the latest info about that stuff.

 

[DOS76]

Yeah I didn't see that one since I know how to EmuMovies from way back

[Naddel81]

I only want a few systems to get movies. what does a one month subscription cost?

If you go monthly though, you wont get any updates after the month.

[Naddel81]

so 20 dollars is the cheapest way to get preview movies? I guess I'll just live without then ;(

[SentaiBrad]

Yearly and Lifetime's are generally the most cost effective, and they run sales from time to time.

[Naddel81]

guess I'll wait for a sale. thanks for letting me know..
