ckp Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 When importing games I see this optional checkbox on the 'download images for your games' screen in the wizard. What is it supposed to do?? Download a video for the games you are importing? Theme? I have no idea. Quote
DOS76 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I'm pretty sure it is the platform videos made by NYNY77 and Bakerman and maybe even the individual games ones made by them and cid also Quote
SentaiBrad Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Oh yea, that's what it should be. Game theme videos vs gameplay videos from EmuMovies. Quote

This seems like a confusing place for this, or at least the way it's presented seems confusing to me. @SentaiBrad, I don't have a screenshot right now but you can't miss it if you just import a game by drag and drop and look at the last item where you select which art you want (like box front, clear logo, etc).

Oh, then now it's even more confusing if it pulls from EmuMovies, since this checkbox is not even on the dialog for EmuMovies art selection, it's on the dialog before that one for LB DB. Quote
ckp Posted March 10, 2017 Author Posted March 10, 2017 So @SentaiBrad, what does it pull? Does it pull game specific videos for the games you are importing, or platform videos? Or both? Quote
DOS76 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I believe that the videos are hosted on the LB server and not Emumovies so it might not include Cid's videos actually just the platform ones. Quote
SentaiBrad Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I just meant that it's the Game Theme videos from our server vs any video from EmuMovies (I believe). I honestly haven't ran that part of the importer. The Platform videos are done in a different area (Tools -> Download Platform Theme Videos). I do believe they are edited theme videos instead of straight gameplay, or instead of straight gameplay it's gameplay in an edited, packaged video. Quote
ckp Posted March 10, 2017 Author Posted March 10, 2017 Has anyone tried this? Maybe you can post what you got? Quote
DOS76 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Copy your video folder to another location try it and if you don't like the results delete it and paste your old one back in if you do like it delete the old one. Quote
ckp Posted March 10, 2017 Author Posted March 10, 2017 nah, i'm afraid it might mess with my current default theme too. better if someone just knew how this feature works. Quote
DOS76 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) It definitely doesn't effect the theme that you are using in BB they are just video files Edited March 10, 2017 by DOS76 Quote
