      Hi Community,

      maybe I'm too stupid but I can't figure out how to run skyscraper to scrape, for example, my entire SNES games again but this time adding videos.

      I tried "Skyscraper -p snes --videos --updatedb --verbosity 1

      But all I see is that nothing get's changed and VIDEO is big red "NO".

      What am I missing here?

      Thanks in advance!

        ... okay, I tried to run Skyscraper without arguments (in Wizard-mode kind of) and selected "video", no it worked. So I run it like this for all the different emulators now.

        For faster solution, please reply ;-)

        Kind regards

          @Hyperlord You're supposed to run skyscraper with an online scraping source to get any data. Your command line doesn't show that. So you should run it like

          Syscraper -p nes -s screenscraper --videos
          

          If you don't specify a scraping source (-s), then it will query the LocalDB, which might not have any videos scraped.
