"Download Metadata and Media" sometimes doesn't download any images
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:
-
The two Game Boy Color games "Army Men" and "Army Men 2" doesn't have any clear logos.
-
I run the "Download Metadata and Media..." wizard as I have described below
-
LB successfully downloads the two missing clear logos
Test 2:
-
"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
-
I run the "Download Metadata and Media..." Wizard as I have described below
-
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:
-
I select the two games.
-
I choose "Tools" -> "Download Metadata and Media..."
-
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.
