      Hi all, i have all of my games scraped with images screenshots and marques, i am now trying to scrape videos for some of them. When i gather resources, i can clearly see that it found and downloaded the videos, but when i choose to generate the gameslist, it says No next to the video for every single game. Ive tried purging and vaccuming and rescraping multiple times but i seem to get the same result each time. Im using screenscraper as the source, and i can tell from the gigs of free space missing that is indeed definitely downloading the videos. Why cant skyscraper find them when generating the gamelist?

              @eg500 I fogured this out for anybody having the same issue. In the generate options I had to enable use roms folder for dir. I have no idea why that fixed it as i never had that option enabled before, but everything is now generating properly.

                @eg500 probably because you had existing gamelists in there which took priority.
