izzmaster Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) Greetings fellow enthusiasts. In an effort to save space on my main SSD, I went into each platform and changed the directory for videos to that of another directory on a different hard drive in the same PC. The regular video snaps respect this directory specification, and download to where I designated (D:\Videos\MAME) when I run "download metadata and media", however the theme videos do not, and populate in (C:\Users\\LaunchBox\Videos\MAME\Theme). Is there a separate option to designate where the theme videos should be stored? I suppose I could just move the theme videos over when this completes, however i'm uncertain as to why the theme videos don't respect the video folder path I set when I edited the path in 'edit platform'. Thank you all very much in advance. Edited June 1, 2018 by izzmaster Quote
izzmaster Posted June 1, 2018 Author Posted June 1, 2018 so all of the fancy theme videos go over to C:, despite choosing the d: drive. If I move them over to the D:\videos\mame\themes, they aren't detected by BIGBOX, only if they are in Launchbox\videos\mame\themes. I set BIGBOX to prioritize theme videos, and they only get picked up if in C:. All of the regular snaps download to my d: drive correctly, and get picked up by BIGBOX based on me setting the video folder to d: I could always just copy and paste them over to d: and just overwrite the regular snaps, as I prefer the fancier ones anyway.

3dlollo Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 This is still happening with the current build of launchbox. I tried to move the movies on a different drive and when updating the metadata; got few GB of data downloaded again, because the app did not respect the videos location for the theme videos. Any chance to fix this? It is quite a troublesome bug to be honest, especially if you rely on launchbox to keep up with the metadata. Quote
