Metadata Failed to download errors

[BiggDoot]

Total noob here. If there is a post already created please direct me to it.

I imported 49 total games into launchbox and attempted to download the metadata from the recommended local directory. Only a few games downloaded box arts. I received over 100 errors stating that the downloads for most of the metadata timed out and failed to download. Is there a fix?

Which version of Launchbox? Im gonna guess 12.9? This is actually fixed in the current beta, so you could update to that from within the program, or wait for the official 12.10 release which is coming very soon. This was a issue with the emumovies API being changed so we had to add code to support the new calls.

Thanks for the Reply. I just now got back to working on it; recovering from a bad Power Supply. I updated to version 12.11. I made sure my EMUmovies was linked and it has helped. There are still a few games that the metadata still times out on downloading the metadata/box art. For example Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex strikes back for Playstation one. It does not download anything for that specific game. Mostly I just get hundreds of errors saying that the download timed out. I tried to download metadata for the few that timed out individually but with no luck. Is there a way to add my own box art to Launchbox? And if so is there a tutorial somewhere? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
