If rolling back to v13.27, with LaunchBox not running, delete the \LaunchBox\Plugins\LaunchBox Reader\ folder. Start LaunchBox.

Thanks Joe! Finally had time to do that and it worked. Videos are back to playing again.

I recently noticed (on Beta 4, default theme) that Launchbox no longer recognizes if a game entry is pointing to a missing rom. Also, the badge still shows for a save even if it is missing. Previously, the PLAY button would be grayed out and the save badge would disappear. 

This still happens, granted you are using Default theme or a theme based on the same Play button logic, and you haven't enabled the option Assume game application paths exist (skip file checks), under Options > Visuals > Game Details. Having that option on stops the checks from happening, so the Play button will always remain a play button, although for people that have their ROMs on a different computer/server (or just a generally slow computer), they will gain performance by not having LaunchBox run that check.
