          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.

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

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