"Download Metadata and Media" sometimes doesn't download any images

Issue #2658 new

I know this is an old issue. I've seen people talking about it several times in the forum, but I couldn't find a ticket.

The "Download Metadata and Media..." wizard sometimes doesn't download images that exists in the LB Games DB.

After some testing I now have a very specific example for when it works and for when it doesn't (an already downloaded media file can break the download).

Test 1:

  1. The two Game Boy Color games "Army Men" and "Army Men 2" doesn't have any clear logos.

  2. I run the "Download Metadata and Media..." wizard as I have described below

  3. LB successfully downloads the two missing clear logos

Test 2:

  1. "Army Men" has a clear logo in the "Clear Logo" folder (file name: "Army Men-01.png") and "Army Men 2" doesn't have any clear logos

  2. I run the "Download Metadata and Media..." Wizard as I have described below

  3. LB doesn't download the missing clear logo for "Army Men 2" (for some reason, the existing file "Army Men-01.png" seems to break the download in this test)

Running the "Download Metadata and Media..." wizard:

  1. I select the two games.

  2. I choose "Tools" -> "Download Metadata and Media..."

  3. I only select "Clear Logo" for both LB DB and Emumovies, I then click "Yes, but do not replace any existing fields or media" (the rest of the wizard have default values)

    I can confirm this. In fact the wizard is not downloading most of the avaiable images for a game all the time for me. The same is true while importing with download media enabled. Manual download via edit of indiviual games works.
