      Sselph's scraper has been updated to provideo video support, but I can't even get it to scrape videos at all. I don't know what I'm missing. I just updated everything I had on my RetroPie (retropie script, the underlying kernel itself, sselph's scraper, etc.). The only options in the retropie-script I have when going to Configuration / tools -> scraper are the following:

      There does not seem to be anything video related, even though this is the latest version as far as I can tell (I explicitely updated the scraper using the last option on the screenshot). I tried moving my ~/.emulationstation/downloaded_images and gamelists to another temporary directory to do a clean scrape, and still videos were not downloaded. Do you know what's going on?

      Thanks in advance :)

        @felleg it's not in the gui you have to manually define it through the terminal with the correct flags.

          I can't seem to find any documentation regarding the flags. Which flags should one be using for video scrape?

          Thanks
