      Shall we replace it on google drive ?

      Done!

      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 ;-)

                                          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.
