Hey soqueroeu! Haven't talked to ya in a while, looks like your finally setting up LB. If you need help you can DM me. There are a few different folders LB uses for the videos. 

1. The three folders inside LaunchBox\Videos\PlatformName I dont personally use, but I believe they show up in a games media. 
2. LaunchBox\Videos\'any system - These are where you copy gameplay snap videos, named by game name
3. Platform Videos are the video that play when your in platform view. 

Hope that helps a bit, I'm sure staff will come by and be more precise with the info.

For the 3 folders (Recordings/Themes/Trailers) you would put videos for games related to the media type. In the "Recordings" if you use the video snap recording feature LB will manually file the video there or if you have your own game play recordings that is where you manually drop them. For "Theme" those are for the theme type game play videos. The ones that have all the images/graphics around a gameplay. "Trailer" is exactly that, a trailer of the game. LB can use them based on your settings preference. In LB tools there is a video priority setting where you can let LB know which of the video types you prefer over the others and LB will search those folders for the existing video. Keep in mind a custom theme can override this setting based on how the theme was coded. 

The folder paths you show in the last 2 videos that is where you can tell LB to look for that media if you have it in a folder outside of the standard LB path. So you can map a custom location so LB knows where to look.

Thansk so much!

Thank you all so much for the clarification... Sometimes I got lost with these folders.
I'll try some things!

I think it would be very helpful if these tips appeared in a text box in the configuration window itself. These tips could also indicate which settings will be affected in BigBox mode.
