Launchbox Crashes Due To Missing Media Folder (solved?)

Hey guys, I recently had a hard drive fail on me that was being used for storing game intro snaps. I've since replaced the drive, but not the files located on it because I didn't have a backup of them. Not really a big deal, but unfortunately, this has caused me to run into an issue with Launchbox that I need help fixing. Currently, whenever I click on a game which formerly had a video snap, Launchbox spits out an error about being unable to find the file and immediately crashes. The same crash also happens whenever I go to manage platforms to try to change/get rid of the video directories launchbox is being pointed to, thus making the problem not fixable, or at least not through the standard gui.

This unfortunately makes most of the platforms I had on launchbox unplayable, so any help on how I could go about fixing this would be very much appreciated. Attached is an image of the screenshot of the error I get when I try to edit one of the affected platforms.

EDIT: Was able to stop launchbox from crashing by opening the platforms XML file and deleting all references to the nonexistent folder so all platforms are now playable thankfully.
