importing videos not working correctly

Recommended Posts

So I added a bunch of games without downloading media to get through adding them faster so that I can then set them all to download the media over night while I was sleeping.  Most of the media downloaded except for a few platforms videos.  If I select a single game in that platform I can download the video just fine.  If I select games in groups of 5 I can download the videos.  If I try to select an entire platforms games though and only select the videos to be downloaded, then it downloads absolutely nothing.  I ran into the same situation on another build with mame and finally just copied over my video snaps from my hyperspin setup and most of them worked.  Has anyone ever seen this?  Clearly my emu login is working and clearly launch box is able to download videos.  It just won't do them in large batches on some platforms.

This is fixed in the betas i believe. Also the importer has changed in the beta, it will import the games first, and then download the media after so that you can do other things while media downloads.

Version 11.12 - Released ?
