    @folly
    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)
