Download EmuMovies Media During Automatic Imports

📋 Summary

Allow automatic ROM imports to download selected media from EmuMovies alongside LaunchBox Games Database media.

❗ Problem

Games added through automatic import do not automatically receive EmuMovies media. Users must run a separate media download afterward to obtain items such as gameplay videos and manuals.

This makes automatic importing feel incomplete and creates repetitive work for users who regularly add games to monitored folders.

💡 Proposal

Add EmuMovies options under the existing automatic import media settings.

Users with a configured EmuMovies account could choose which supported media types should be downloaded automatically, including:

• Gameplay videos

• Video themes

• Manuals

• Music

• Supported images

These preferences should be applied whenever new games are detected and imported automatically.

🧩 Use Cases

• Add ROMs to a monitored folder and receive their videos automatically

• Import a few games regularly without running a second media download

• Automatically collect manuals alongside existing LaunchBox media

📦 Benefits

• Makes automatic imports more complete

• Eliminates a repetitive second download step

• Keeps newly imported games consistent with the rest of the library

• Provides more control over automatic media downloads

⚠️ Considerations

• EmuMovies downloads should require a valid configured account

• Existing media should not be replaced unless the user enables that behavior

• EmuMovies errors or unavailable media should not prevent the game from importing

• Automatic download limits should also apply to EmuMovies media where appropriate
