Jason Carr Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Something is obviously not right, but it's impossible for me to identify what's going on without more information. These are not issues that I've ever seen experienced by other users so it makes me think that there's probably some sort of other outside influence, though I have no idea what that might be. I might be able to identify what's going on if you zip up and PM me your LaunchBox\Data folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help!!! Vanished? As in they are not in the images folders at all or simply they are not showing in LaunchBox/BigBox but you do see them in the images folder? Do you have your images in a folders outside of the LaunchBox folder structure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil9000 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Then you have something really strange going on with your system. Emulators don't change themselves, and images don't delete themselves either, the only way they will disappear is if you manually do it, or your HDD takes a bath. As Jason said above, I have never seen this happen to anyone else before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charco Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) I assume you have zipped up your data folder and sent it to Jason, as he requested yesterday, right? If not, I suggest we leave it until you do. Edited February 7, 2018 by Charco 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FRK Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 Going through the full image update via LB... 41K games... ready in the morning I bet... 20 Hours... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 @FRK I went through your data but of course I don't see anything fishy. But if image files are truly just disappearing from your system, there's something seriously wrong with the system. I'm not sure where else to go here other than to suggest that maybe you should get the system checked out by a tech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must have 're-installed' or crash recovered and that's when the dirs and file and setting reset. And as we know by recreating dir's it must have overwritten the original ones. I have checked my system and new external and all looks fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It never overwrites media on installs or upgrades; if it did, I'd have a million people screaming at me. The only thing I can think of happening is what I mentioned earlier, that perhaps LaunchBox has been installed into two separate installations (two different folders on your hard drive).

FRK Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 Maybe I clicked on the install .exe.... can't think I did, anyway deleted the thing.. never happen again.. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FRK Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 Well 41K games on 100 systems full upgrade of images from LB and EMovies... it's been 24 hours... Looking like another 48 required... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking like another 48 required... That means at least 41,000 videos (much more if you queued theme videos), and likely more than half a million image downloads. I'd guess much more. You might need to be patient with such a massive download job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Replay Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I think the issue here is you're trying to do this massive massive operation on an external drive. Why wouldn't you do all of this on an 8 TB Internal HDD instead? If it were me I'd do it on an internal and then copy over everything to an external drive as a backup option if something goes wrong.
