How do videos work in Launchbox?

Hi. Sorry if this has been addressed before. I love Launchbox, but I'm very confused as to how videos are supposed to work.

I think I know how to set them up, and I found the checkbox that enables them in Launchbox, but I'm confused on how "priority" is supposed to work, or maybe I'm confused as to what it means. When you set priority in the settings, I take that to mean that it will play say Trailers first, Video Snaps second, etc. But it only seems to play trailers.

Same for BigBox; and again, maybe this isn't a feature, and I'm hoping for too much. Is there a way to play sequential videos in either Launbox or BigBox, or more importantly, what does "priority" mean.

Please help! :)

It is priority of importance not of sequence.  LB and BB only show 1 video that is looped the longer you stay on it. It does not play one first, then when done plays the next one in the order listed.

So in the case of your image LB/BB will play a trailer video if one is available. If not it looks for a recording to play that. If no recording it looks for the a marquee and so on until it finds one of those options that has a video in the respective folder. Then that is the video it plays until you move to another game.

Gotcha! That makes sense. Thank you! This was driving me crazy!
