jmrwbilly Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I'm a previous batocera user who jumped ship due to lack of support looking to setup Launchbox. Question regarding game media; ie videos, manuals, and images. Batocera uses the scraper 'Screenscraper ' which gets manuals and videos with a free account... What do I need to do to get my media I scraped from batocera in launchbox? I'm looking a way to batch process this as i'm upwords of 4,000 roms and not looking to do this individually.

C-Beats Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Pretty sure Batocera uses media with the same name as the rom file. If this is true you just drag the image to the appropriate folder inside of \\LaunchBox\Images\{PlatformName}\ and it should see them automatically and use them. You'll want to do it with LaunchBox closed though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, i can't get manuals or videos to add for the life of me. only way i've found to get them to add is 1 by 1 editing the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Launchbox does require a premium license in order to play videos, do you in fact have one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I just realized batocera puts a '-video' and -manual' tag in the file names. Once removed they imported with no issue. Another question, if the default scrapper doesn't find a game, is there any way to have it search for a different title to see if can find it?

Right click it and go to edit, you can type anything into the search bar there to find a match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
