Messed Up: Image folder / Videos not working

[djsim101]

Hi Guys,

Happy Xmas and New Year btw !!

I am hoping one of you could help me out with a quick fix  Basically, I copied my LB contents from a internal drive to an USB external HDD to play on the go.

This worked "up to a point". Every time I tried to upgrade LB, I was getting a UNC error. I did try to fix this by following a few posts but to no avail.  The fix I found that worked is I created a folder called Launchbox on the external HDD  and copied the contents into this folder. This fixed the update issue, HOWEVER, I have no images, emulators, videos, nothing... Only game playlists and systems. 

When I try and launch a game, Launchbox is creating a new image\ music \manual folder outside of my newly created Launchbox folder, basically in the old location -> I hope this makes sense :-)

Anywhere I can change this setting for all my media files and how do I stop LB from creating the folders in the wrong location?

Thanks guys.,

What if you edit the paths in the platforms folders section?

Hey DeadVoivod, 

The paths are set as ".. /image" which is what i would expect. I could hardest the new location but I am not sure would it fix my issues :-( 

I hope I won't have to reinstall :-(

Yes, but the ../image perhaps points to your old location, just browse and point it to your actual location. It's at least worth a try. I always prefer to edit the .xml file which is a lot faster, but usually people here don't recommend it as you could easily mess up even more. But you can always make a copy of your .xml file, I have a 1:1 backup of the whole LB install anyways.
