Libraries for Q3 (July – August) 2014 “Come, Follow Me” videos are now available in USB Video Manager. All videos referenced in the lessons as of today are included. The training videos for “Come, Follow Me” were updated and now include the training videos for Aaronic Priesthood Quorum and Quorum Presidency meetings. Several other libraries were also updated to add new videos including all currently downloadable videos in: Bible Videos – The Life of Jesus Christ, Mormon Messages, General Conference (2010 – 2014), CES Devotionals (2001 – 2014), I’m a Mormon, and Worldwide Leadership Training (2010 – 2013).

I should add that a Spanish library for April - June "Come, Follow Me" was created by Elder Funk (see previous posts above), a full time missionary in South America. He is no longer serving in the office and will not be able to create the Q3 library. I don't know Spanish. The folder icons are available for the entire year if anyone wants to take up the effort I would be happy to support them in it.

Does anybody know if anyone has updated or will update the USB media library? It doesn't seem to have the Q3 videos loaded.
Thanks.

The Q3 (July - August) video library for "Come, Follow Me" was provided before the end of Q2. If you are using the default library source (use File > Preferences, then click on "Reset") you should see them. Feel free to send me a message if you still don't see them.

rknelson, have you thought about sharing the source code in addition to the compiled packages? Then others could help support it, or create their own versions.

The "library" files are XML files that you can edit and anyone can create their own. Send me a PM and I will be happy to help you with that process. If you are asking about the tool itself (USB Video Manager), you should contact the author Charles Glancy. I just help create XML library files.
