[Juicebox]

is it possible to have them? like with a retropie?

[Retro808]

Yes. I cannot remember though if videos are a feature available only in premium version or not.

Video playback is possible both in Launchbox and BigBox. There are settings in both you need to check to make sure playback is on. Also, in BigBox some themes support video playback in certain views and some may not support it at all.

Try switching video playback sources. BigBox gives you the option to use VLC or WMP. I used to have issues with VLC on one of my machines. Then double check the video settings.

didnt work, im not sure if its even downloading them. i also have an account at emu movies

Check the \Launchbox\Videos folders to see? That is where they would go if you have any. Also the video, if LB downloads them, will be named as the games are named. So if you copy in videos on your own remember the name them as the game is named in Launchbox.

yeah they arent there. hmm how do you dowload them? just like you do the other art?

If you use the import wizard in Launchbox during new game imports make sure you tick the checkbox for videos. There will be ones for Launchbox and ones for Emumovies accounts. If you already imported a game just right click it and edit. Choose download Images/Media in the bottom right corner. You can also do prior imported games in bulk.

Share a screen shot if you can. 

[Juicebox]

for sure, and ty for the help

[Retro808]

Probably not one than. I have quite a few PSP games without snaps right now.

[Juicebox]

none of my games give me an option

On both Launchbox and Emumovies tabs? What Emumovies account do you have? If it is the free one you do not get video access. Only the support level and higher does. 

[Juicebox]

ahh that makes sense. i only have the free one. so ill have to upgrade?

[Retro808]

You would if you want emumovies videos. Check your Launchbox license email. At the bottom should be a discount code for emumovies. At least I think Launchbox premium members still get a discount.
