            Perfect.

            We should test if the old file is going to be updated.
            I think it has to be removed first.

            That could be an issue.

            Edit :
            I tested it and the file wasn't updated.

            I added the issue on github :

              I would like you to add the artwork for videopin for mame .
              It's described here :
              https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/31255/atari-video-pinball-backdrop

              Artwork :
              https://www92.zippyshare.com/v/9Gp7lzW5/file.html

              It comes from "mame202artworkall".
              Perhaps there is more, in there, that can be added.

              Though, for lr-mess there isn't a solution yet.

                  Thanks,

                  Looked at the links but could not find a videopin backdrop overlay.

                    For Google Drive issues, would it be easier if I put everything on GitHub?

                      Let's wait for Matt first, perhaps he can improve his script.

                      But indeed github could be a better way in the long run.

                      There are some advantages like :

                      • forking
                      • easy collaborating
                      • perhaps skipping files when cloning for an update

                      But there could also be some downsides :

                      • how much data will we have in the future and what is the data-limit of github ?
                      • I think cloning doesn't work when we add files manual locally because it wants to sync with the repository. So testing files on the harddrive becomes more difficult.
                      • Perhaps we also face some ownership issues

                      We can do some tests with a few files and see how it works.

                        Matt changed his script and added the option -m or --mtimes.
                        link

                        I added this in my script (not on github yet).

                        It's downloading all again now, just as Matt explained.
                        When I am ready we have to change 1 file and revert it back to test if this solution works.

                        Edit:
                        It has downloaded now.
                        Tried to download everything again and now it said that the files exist.
                        Looking good, so far !

                        So now you can throw in an different file with the same name and I can test if it's working.
                        For example, you could place your old pofo.zip back for a while.

                        If you want to test it also, use this line (1058) with the added -m :

                        python3 - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/$1 -m -P "$2"

                            Can you put in a file for me so I can test it too ?

                            Can you put first a dummy "videopin.zip" onto the google drive ?
                            And after I acknowledge, the real one ?

                                Got it.
                                You can now update berzerk

                                    Too bad, the file isn't updated.

                                    It could depend on the time difference.
                                    Perhaps it's a good idea to leave the file on google drive, so I can test tomorrow again.

                                    Good idea ?

                                      Google wrote "file with no data"
                                      I did another dummy.

                                        Ok I will try again.

                                        I looked in the log and the file isn't updated.

                                          Can you keep the dummy file for a while on google-drive ?

                                          I will test again tomorrow.
