DukeSkinny Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) When importing the PSX game 'Hello Charlie!!' a.k.a 'Eggs of Steel', the initial process goes perfectly well. However, when editing the game metadata after the fact & pressing OK the game mysteriously disappears. It is as though it has been deleted - but the import process is unable to locate it for re-import! Only looking up the entry in the 'Sony Playstation.xml' file, removing the data & restarting LB allows me to re-import. The cycle repeats. Edit Welp. Same-ish just happened to an arcade game. Imported it through the 'Rom files' importer, but as soon as the import process was over with and the media files had been downloaded - POOF.

C-Beats Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 @DukeSkinny Sounds like you have one of the "Hide games missing..." settings checked that is hiding the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well this is embarrassing. I must've accidentally input the wrong command when toggling auto-play on videos. The games are very much there. Disregard the entire post, then. Oh, and thanks! Edit It should be noted however that the 'Hide games missing...' setting concerned missing videos while the imported arcade game did in fact have a video associated with it. Yet it appeared once the setting was turned off. Edited June 25, 2021 by DukeSkinny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgtroyas Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Briefing from what we've tested on this thread. - "Doesn't contain" operator doesn't autopopulate the parameters field when selected and throws an exception when settings are saved. - "Has at least one of the values" doesn't work either, always filters out everything, leaving an empty playlist, even with only one parameter.

Thanks for this. Both have been confirmed and corrected for next release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeSkinny Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I know this isn't the BitBucket repo, but since playlist auto-populate filters are getting looked at, would it be possible to include "Is not empty" as a criteria? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RULLUR Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) Are we aware that there is also an issue with Playlists where when update the Metadata to some on things like Atari Arcade Classics the Playlist that the game disappears from the Playlist, but still can be seen in Arcade. It doesn't happen all the time, but every now and then. Like once I updated Batman's Metadata from the Edit window, it left the Atari Arcade Classics Playlist. Things like Asteroids Deluxe remained on the Atari Arcade Classics Playlist after updating the Metadata from the Edit window though Edited June 29, 2021 by RULLUR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've wanted for the longest time to create a playlist of RPGs belonging to a series, which would require the Series field to be anything but empty.

Seems Atari's Batman is now part of the Midway Classics Playlist now? I guess it's not much of glitch after all, but more of something that Auto-Populated as you said and then got sorted differently than from the previous times I updated the Metadata to some games. I just wonder if some of my Cave stuff went elsewhere or just are no longer on any of those Playlists, but can still be seen in Arcade by default. I haven't really messed with any Playlist settings other than making SEGA Model 2, SEGA S-TV. and Cave into being seen as a Platform. I try and stay away from stuff I'm not clear on so that I don't end up screwing things up to a mess I'll have a hard time getting out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my install I'm seeing Batman from Atari on the Atari Playlist and not in the Midway one. Anyway the arcade auto-created playlists are quite simple: they match to the "Arcade" platform, and look for the word (i.e. "Atari" or "Midway") inside the "Editor" field, so if the metadata is right they should auto-populate without problems. If after restarting Launchbox they are still wrong, I'd create a new one for testing, just with that logic. For the Cave games, if you moved the games to another Platform, you must edit the playlist to look for that platform name instead of "Arcade".
