Thanks For the plugin, it is much appreciated :)

I was wondering if it would be possible to refine the search it does.

as i was searching with your plugin for some videos for my pinball tables i.e a table called blackout and kept getting a trailer for a tv program.

would it be possible to incorporate the category as part of the search string.

so it would find blackout / pinball and many other tables i get some very weird videos for :)

thanks very much.

I'm getting the same error.

The last time I used this plugin (admittedly a few months ago), it worked perfectly. Perhaps the latest LaunchBox update broke it.

Hey @srxz , the plugin sounds awesome. Have a question: does the one click downloader have fixed values, like videos with max length 2 mins, or that the search keywords are gamename + gameplay or similar? 

Hi Kondorito,

Unfortunately no, since the Youtube downloader is more for recent games I search for Launchbox game name + Trailer.

For lenght no, it gets the first result with max quality no matter the lenght, but Ill try to only download videos with less than 2min, thanks for the feedback.

 

Once it's updated I'll post here again :)

Yeah that's a good idea, with the older version I ended up with some lets play's at about 2 hours long, and as there is no way to stop a download once started I had to wait for it to download then immediately delete it.

Hi neil,

thanks for the feedback, I'll implement the lenght feature asap, download management and feedback for the user is something that I'll try to implement as well at some point, but I have no idea what I'm doing with C# so may take longer lol

Yeah that's OK, if its only going to download smaller files then a UI isn't really needed as they only take a handful of seconds to download anyway, it was just a issue when it was downloading really long videos that could be over a GB in size.

That sounds great. I said 2 minutes as that would be ideal, but in reality it would be better to raise the limit to 4 minutes, as I dont think too many results will show up being under 2 mins.

Would it be easy to code an alternate version with the keyword gameplay instead of trailer for the retro games?

with Trailer it will bring pretty much the correct video for PC games no matter if its retro or not, for some retro videogames as well, but, if you are looking specifically for MAME games, I have another plugin to do that.

But please let me know some games that you didnt find so I can test it here.

Care to point me to your other plugin? I would love to check it out :)
When I said retro, I meant games from the 80s-90s era (console and handheld included), they usually get along better with a gameplay keyword rather than a trailer one.
I will check my set once I get home, but if I recall correctly, a lot of videos that I miss are for the Asia releases (Japan/China/Taiwan), or the prototypes, or the unlicensed, or the hacks, etc. (not the mainstream games).

Care to point me to your other plugin? I would love to check it out :)
When I said retro, I meant games from the 80s-90s era (console and handheld included), they usually get along better with a gameplay keyword rather than a trailer one.
I will check my set once I get home, but if I recall correctly, a lot of videos that I miss are for the Asia releases (Japan/China/Taiwan), or the prototypes, or the unlicensed, or the hacks, etc. (not the mainstream games).
 

Released a new version, please check it out and let me know if its better.

 

If you wish my mame scraper it is on my github you can download it there, I wont publish here because it scrapes another website and thats not cool.
