It wasnt enabled, i just enabled it but still cant view video previews in launchbox, is there something else i need to do also? Thanks for the help! Quote
Retro808 Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 Are they just not playing or do you not see them at all in the game details panel? If you cannot see them at all you need to go into LB >Tools>Options and in the Visual section look for Game Details section. Check the box for “videos”. 1 Quote

That's what i needed to do, check the box for videos. Now when i click on the thumbnail a video plays on the right side but it's in a very small window. Is it possible to have the video play where the thumbnails are as you can change the size and that would make the video much better viewable. 1 Quote

You dont have to wait for the dev to do so, as i suspect he has no interest in doing so, otherwise he would of designed it that way already. Thats not stopping anyone else from editing or creating a new theme with that look though. Quote
tallpr24 Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 i have the same issue, exept for me i have the videos checkbox checked. i think maybe i never downloaded the vidoes for each game>? how can i check that? Quote

In the left panel in LaunchBox, select from the dropdown, Games Missing Media. Then click on Games Missing Videos. If the 2 #'s at the bottom are the same, you have no videos. Quote
tallpr24 Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 I don’t have that option. How do I tell launchbox to download this game videos? Quote
tallpr24 Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 Also, I wasn’t a premier user at eMU movies so four hours ago I paid for the life subscription is that may be why it’s not appearing? Quote

When you click the little upside-down triangle, you'll need to scroll up the list of options to see it. Then for EmuMovies, once you've confirmed you subscription is active, in LB, go to Tools - Options - Integrations - EmuMovies and enter you credentials there. Then click test to make sure it works.

tallpr24 Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 its working now, been trying to download video snaps for all the games, is it normal for popular systems like the og xbox to not have any movie snaps? Quote
tallpr24 Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 samething with xbox 360, no video snaps Quote
C-Beats Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 A lot of the newer systems don't have snaps because you can't emulate them or they are newer emulators that are still WIP and don't have a large number of games in a solid state yet. EmuMovies has it's own Discord/Forums though that you could ask around in to see if anyone is working on a set of snaps for that console. Could potentially offer to help them make some as well. Quote
