          I haven't had a chance to re-scrape the videos and convert. Both of my sd cards stopped being detected by both windows and the pi3, and when i took them out of my windows card reader slot and usb card reader they were both very hot and had what looked like a crack going through them. When I went to investigate the crack physically the cards both folded into two pieces where the crack was. Very strange and expensive coincidence, being that one card came from my cousin's pi and the other was just used the night before in a linux mint VM hosted on windows.

          I'll update when my new EVO card comes in from Amazon Prime tomorrow.

                  Hopefully in time for Xmas at least :P

                  For a helpful tip, you might consider keeping your ROMs in a USB thumb drive, and scraping them via a laptop/desktop PC.

                  It's faster, and you'll spare the SD card slightly by not having so many read/write operations during the process. :)

                    The -convert_videos seems to have fix any playback issues. Unfortunately that ran the temp of the Pi up the entire time so I will have to try the laptop idea next.

                    I appreciate the help with everything!

                      One more question (or two )

                      If I get a 'hash not found' in the scraper, what's the easiest way to go back and grab it? For example Super Mario Bros 1 on NES wasn't found. If I use ES which is easy enough to go through the few missing roms, it won't add the videos. If I run the scraper again with another site ( do any besides ss give videos?) will it skip the ones that already exist or redownload them since it may be a different image/video? Or do I need to choose a different rom and assume the one I had was just a bad hash None of the mame roms are found using the command line using ss,adb but it finds it in the setup menu scraper which is weird. Any ideas on that?

                      Thanks

                        @trailjacker I personally don't know a lot about scrapers. I usually use sselph's scraper and then manually add videos on my own, though I'm using an old version of the scraper.

                        Sorry I'm not more helpful here - maybe a separate thread with that particular question may help?
