Where can i manually add certain videos?

For instance , i have a set of TV commercials for the various platform. If i wanted one of these commercials to load up when i choose or hover over a platform where would i put the video and is any special naming convention used?

What goes where ( manually ) in the launchbox directory structure?

So far i have managed to import my collections , get box art in place using emu / LB DB , add the music for the games , add the gameplay videos....

But I'm missing little bits and pieces here and there.

LaunchBox\Videos\Platforms\PlatformName. I'm not sure if the video has to be named after the platform or not.

Thanks for the reply , i notice i already have that directory , populated with videos for platforms , which show on the coinops arcade screen when selecting the system.

I am wondering if there is another place or theme that would allow me to also additionally somehow somewhere add the commercial videos?

It's just videos/platforms, then the videos all named the same as the platforms.

also: In launchbox when i choose to download bigbox thematix video , where does this file end up? I have been downloading them but do not see them incorporated into the bigbox or launchbox.

If you want to add one of the commercials to a platform you already have a video for I believe you will have to overwrite the 1st file you can't have both.
