Bug Description
For the last few versions of Wah!Cade, MAME preview videos have been broken for me. I'm sorry I don't remember exactly when it stopped working properly. The problem happens exclusively when using the XML vs ROM directory list generation method. When using the ROM directory list instead (which uses the proper 8 character MAME names for each game in the ROM list), the videos all work properly.
The console reports a constant stream of "file cannot be found" errors like below:
/path/to/
My previews and ROMs are all named in lower case letters, so I'm not sure why the game name is being captialized. Since my ROMs and previews are being streamed through Samba running on Linux, I thought that maybe this was a case sensitivity issue being caused by it. I set up Samba (and my client) to ignore case-sensitivity. This works in all my applications, but still does not satisify Wahcade, which continues to output the error repeatedly. It's been at least a few months since I've had this issue. I would have reported it sooner, but I wasn't sure that it might be Wahcade with the issue.
Even directly editing the game lists created by Wahcade to change the upper case MAME game names to lower case hasn't helped.
My wahcade.ini file can be found here: http://
My MAME filter/list files can be found here: http://
Let me know if there's anything more I can give you. I'll post the actual error from Wahcade as soon as I am back home tonight.

Thanks for the report - It definitely looks like some sort of Wahcade bug. I'll see what I can find...
