Pamput Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 Hi everyone, I'm relatively new to LB, so sorry if this has been already addressed. I'm importing all my rom collection into LB, one platform at the time. Now, for various reasons, one of the platforms failed mid import, causing a lot of entries in LB without their covers/videos. What I did is retrigger a scan/download over my collection, which fixed what was missing. Problem is, LB downloaded a second time all the theme videos that already existed for all games! Everything else seems to be fine, only the theme videos got duplicated. Why is this happening? Is this a bug? Is there a way to securely delete the doubles without breaking the entire database of games? Thanks in advance. Ps. I'm on the latest LB version. Quote
DOS76 Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 as to why it crashed I can't say but as to why it duplicated the videos is because LB now supports multiple videos of the same type and during the import you didn't uncheck it so it did exactly what you told it to. Quote
Pamput Posted July 4, 2020 Author Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) I see, the problem becomes when you have a console that has some entries with a certain video populated and other entries that don't. I'd have expected LB to do some discrimination (not necessarily before downloading the video, but check maybe the md5 and compare it to what already exists after the download and remove the duplicate). Where are the video entries stored? Platform.xml? I'll have to write a script to clean it now... Edited July 4, 2020 by Pamput Quote
