i redownloaded ur theme 2.11 but still the same so dont no why it not showing.

Overview, High Scores and Achievements work fine on my end in the default theme and also in Neon Deluxe. @andyco47 i guess it has something to do with your setup then.

@Galaxian Have you downloaded the Playstation Playlist Video from the Launchbox Database? In Launchbox go to Menu > Tools > Download >Platform/Playlist/Category Theme Videos. In the next dialog you can choose various Videos to download.

Or do you mean videos for the games themselves? The ones from emumovies work fine for me.

@andyco47 Yep its definetly something in your setup as I looked at the code and its identical to the new default, except for some color changes I made.

ok thanks for looking for me but still not working but its ok on default theme.

@andyco47 Maybe you should ask @Jason Carr @C-Beats @faeran if they can help. Since they are the devs behind Launchbox and the code of that particular xaml file is basically the same as in the default theme.

ok thanks.

Can you at least post pics as requested. It is always heplful when remote troubleshooting to see images.

Can you post a pic of the Default theme showing the High Score and then the same game in this theme? I just tested on 2 other builds and it shows fine.

Thanks. I'd assumed they were downloaded when importing the roms. All good now thanks.

2 pic default and neon

and you surely are using the latest version of Neon Deluxe, which is 2.11.? It's the second option.

Just to double check, you do have version 2.11 from this page?

As i just downloaded it now, and it does work fine.

Yeah this does not look like you are on version 2.11 of the theme. The video has black bars to the left and right. Retrolust's new version has coding to get rid of the look.

I would say delete the theme you have and then just download a fresh one to make sure.

To be honest, those black bars are there because of the emumovies metadata thumbnail that forces this aspect ratio, which can be bulk removed with mp3tag for example (thanks to @C-Beats for that tip)

Hmm. I saw Bundangdon mentioned in the Beta thread changing the PreviewBackground="Black" (Like the Default theme has) to PreviewBackground="Transparent" worked for him and I see that is in your code. I did not use any tools like C-Beats mentioned and I have no black bars using your theme like Neil's pic. Eh, that's beyond my code level of understanding.

To be fair, my pic has a very dark background, i cant tell if its just blending or not.

You have another version of the video snaps where there is no blue thumbnail with text, its like mp3 files and artwork embedded through metadata editor.

Weird. I see the EmuMovies blue thumbnail. I do now see in Neil's pic he is highlighted a video without the blue Emu thumbnail. Oh well best to just move on. I think I am sidetracking @andyco47 issue. 🙃 We need to get him sorted.

Now im confused as well hahaha

i guess @andyco47's issue is that they use an older version of Neon Deluxe. I can't think of a reason why the high scores or achievements tab would not work.

Weird, i literally downloaded it last night, and it just worked, so i'm not really sure what else to suggest. This was a fresh install of the theme right, you didnt just copy/paste over the old version?
