Launchbox 8.6 Empty Playlists after using new method


goyetus

Recommended Posts

I have Mame 194 full non merged roms in my Arcade Cabinet.

I just tryed today to use the new "create playlist" from Launchbox 8.6.


Big problems:
- All my playlist are empty, 
- It has deleted ALL my CPS custom playlist with games into it  (CPS1 , CPS2 and CPS3)........

Could you help me?

Did you update you Arcade game metadata, if not you need to do this to be able to use the new Mame importer data. Alsoo you have all those games actually imported into Launchbox in an Arcade platform? The playlist only pulls the games from the Arcade platform. It does not actually create a platform for CSP1, CPS2, etc...

Hi @goyetus, when you first select the item to create the missing playlists, this is what you see:

You can either restore a backup of your previous playlists, or you can run the Download Metadata and Media wizard and overwrite your metadata. Then the playlists will work properly.

All Mame Set imported from start to end.

- Playlist are now duplicated  (mame new imported + my old playlist).
- All playlist are named equal (Example:  Shoot em up  and Shoot em up).
- If I delete one playlist,  it deletes all games inside the duplicate.

I had to Delete all playlist  (New and Old)  and Import again all mame library.

Now all works fine :)
Hope this info could help others.
