Linking existing video clips

[SimonLev]

Is there a way to select the video file location for platforms? I have all my ROM videos already scraped and on my SD card in a videos subfolder for each platform. The filenames are the same as the ROM names so should be LaunchBox compatible. I have successfully imported the platform games from the SD card, so external access isn't a problem - and it's an Odin device so Android 10 (no filesystem permission issues).

I don't want to scrape all the videos again.

Unfortunately we don't currently have a good option for this, outside of exporting from the desktop LaunchBox application or manually selecting individual videos by editing individual games. This is on our list though.

Is there any progress/update on this? I've just purchased the full Android license and starting to import my platforms and ROMs. It's a pain having to re-scan and duplicate all my videos. I'm going to run out of disk space.

You shouldn't need double the videos on your device, but we don't yet have a solution for this. It is on our short list. Thanks for the support.
