      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"

          It seems to work well!

            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 ?

                    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.

                              Is it working for you now or didn't you test ?

                              Have to go now.
                              Thanks for the effort ;-)

                                Instead of replace it by dragging I have deleted it and reloaded it. So now it's not version 1 or 2 (like Google Drive wrote), it's a new file. Is it change something on your side?

                                  I tried now (it's now 22 sept 7:49 on my clock).
                                  It worked.

                                  Perhaps we have to try your trick again and see if this works instandly.
                                  We can test around the same time as yesterday.

                                    I replaced the artwork file (berzerk.zip) by a new dummy with different content inside.

                                        Do you have time to throw in the original berzerk again ?
                                        Seems you don't have time right now to test if files get downloaded instantly after adding.
                                        No hurry we can test it later.

                                            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.

                                            videopin.zip is now in the GoogleDrive Artwork folder. Thanks for the download link (JDownloader must be used for that link 😲 OMG)
