      I have everything set up and all the games work. I have 3 systems setup - Atari 2600 (stella) ColecoVision (BlueMSX) and Commodore 64 (Vice). Using the comic book theme with a RPi3. I have all videos in /home/pi/.emulationstation/downloaded_images/atari2600 and are named after the rom name with a -video.mp4. This works perfectly with the Colecovision; all games highlighted in the FE play. But in the Atari selection, none of them except Spikes Peak plays. All the other games highlighted just shows the box art. I tried deleting everything in /downloaded_image/atari2600, and while all the games highlighted showed nothing like they should, Spike's Peak plays the video perfectly, even though there's no files in the directory! Same for the C64; only screenshots work, no video. Anyone know what might be going on?

        I have found that my ROM names needed to be identical to the mp4/png file names being used for box art and videos. I don't know if that helps, but have you tried renaming one of those that doesn't? And also check the location of the files and that they match your FE configuration.

          You could also just add them to the gamelist entries for each game?
