        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.

                                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?
