MAME Videos stopped playing

[magicm]

Had a weird thing happen over the weekend. While I was scrolling throught the list of my MAME games, the videos for them stopped displaying. Videos are working for all my other emulators. Rebooting the machine didn't fix the problem. I'm using the latest version of Gameex. Has anyone seen this before? I don't want to re-install because I don't want to lose my settings.

Thanks for any help!

I don't think a reinstall is gonna fix this anyway. Did you try rebuilding your MAME game list using the option in the MAME menu?

[magicm]

Yes, I tried rebuilting the game list as well. Which folder actually stores the video snaps? The one pointed to in the settings for MAME or the downloaded artwork folder?

[Adultery]

That depends. Whichever folder the gx mame setup points to is where they reside or are downloaded to.

Prior to the enumoives functionality being put in, I put the video snaps in the folder I specified in gx setup, however, with enumovies, it looks like they are downloaded to a downloaded artwork folder in Gameex/media. Does that mean my Gameex isn't using the new videos downloaded by enumovies because it's a different folder than what I have specified in my gx setup?

You would have to ask Tom but I thought that directory was for the Artwork Download Utility outside of GameEx, and the folder you specify is where automatic downloads go to.

Deleting the cache files ended up solving the problem.
