chinagreenelvis Posted April 2 Posted April 2 I'm stuck on an older version (12.9), so I don't know if that has anything to do with it - but you can see the ID number in LaunchBox (and in the Metadata and playlist XML files) is incorrect, although the link goes to the correct URL. Quote

Nothing to do with being on an older version. Those numbers are indeed different. And will be for all games. But rest assured, they are correct. Respectively. The good news is the metadata pulled for the game is true to the game. And as you found, links you to the corresponding online page for the game. Quote
chinagreenelvis Posted April 2 Author Posted April 2 Is there any way I can pull the proper URL programmatically? I'm running scripts to help sort my collection in ways that LB can't do on its own and the output always yanks the incorrect number from the XML files, producing the wrong URL. Quote
Solution JoeViking245 Posted April 2 Solution Posted April 2 Again, it's not an incorrect number. It's merely a 'different' number. To help with your endeavors, try this. Hint: use the "incorrect" number. https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/dbid/4538 Quote
chinagreenelvis Posted April 3 Author Posted April 3 Ah, so it requires a different URL for redirection. Thanks, that will help. 1 Quote
