Launchbox not recognizing new videos in folder/how to get launchbox to scan for new videos?

Hello, I absolutely love this product. Loved it before my license. Really love it now that I’ve had a license for 2 years. But I had everything on a hard drive that was knocked off the computer while Big Box was going. I rushed over to put it back and plug it back in and thankfully the explorer popped up for me to enter the folder. 

The problem, though, is that everything was there except the launchbox folder. I had everything in there too. All the games and emulators. All of it. I was heated. But I’ve made my way back to having everything (and I will be backing up this time with a separate HD that’s stored correctly).

The problem is, Launchbox is only recognizing SOME of my videos. I’m very familiar with how Launchbox recognizes the names of the games vs name of the videos and they should all be good, but they aren’t. So my questions are:

1. How do you get LB to scan for new videos?

2. I have thousands and thousands of games on here and, since it’s not every video of the platform, I can’t tell just from looking which ones don’t have an associated video. I’ve never been able to get videos to play in LB. I see the “auto play videos” option (or something like that) but I still don’t see the videos. So, can you play videos in LB?

3. Can LB generate a list of games that don’t have a video, because you can filter by games that do but not games that don’t have a video. 
 

I appreciate any help that can be provided. Thank you!
