So i took a look at my gamelists where video isnt working and.... all my <video> tags are gone on those emulators affected??? NO IDEA how this has happened, i havent touched my gamelists

@red2blue Updating the kernel has slight chances to fix ES. The problem comes from the theme/ES interaction.
Same problem happens also with the default (Carbon) theme ?

@mitu never updated kernal until 1 hour ago :( i went thru the packages of each 4 categories to update, original theme i used was comic book when i did that... so weird..

All fixed tho! Thank god it was something that simple.

@red2blue EmulationStation recently was updated with support for Collections - Favorites, Last played, All Games + custom collections. See https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/11321/theme-changes-attention-theme-makers-upcoming-game-collections-in-es
Any theme that didn't support this new feature will probably show errors. The list of updated themes is at https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/11477/es-themes-ready-for-favorite-all-games-recently-played-and-custom-collections

Okay figured out whats editing my game lists to take off video...

When i switch themes it removed all videos.

@red2blue what's removing the video tags from your gamelists?

red2blue

@pjft idk i changed it to NES-Mini and it removed the FBA Alpha Video tags. and removed some data from my Megadrive gamelist.

i think i figured it out??? Save Metadata on exit was turned off.. i never touched it tho... would that be the issue?

pjft

How are you getting the metadata into it, namely the videos? What scraper are you using?

red2blue

@pjft i scraped all my things months ago and everything was working perfectly until i updated from 2 months worth of updates...

I used screenscraper but that shouldnt matter, like i mentioned earlier, Everything was working correctly.
