Greetings, for the life of me, I cannot get the videos removed from my roms game list in NES.. the videos are all in a video folder inside my NES roms directory.. does anyone know the steps? Is there a quick way to update? I tried cleaning up, but it is only showing 1 found unused video file..I'm pretty new to this.

Well first step, only keep roms in your roms folder. Launchbox will import what you tell it to, so if you just point it at a folder with other files in it you will get other files imported. Looks like someone is trying to use files from a unrelated frontend like Batocera in Launchbox, and expecting it to work the same way, it doesnt. Videos must be named the same as the rom (so not have "video" in the file name), and they go in Launchbox/Videos/Name of platform.

Yes, I'm coming from Batocera. Ok, I'll just delete the video folder and re-scrape. I appreciate the advise! 

 

Will LB just remove the videos, or is there a cleanup method?
