Videos will play via the editor, it looks like you didn’t unblock the .zip file prior to unzipping

A play button image? 

@horse(y2guru correct me if I'm wrong) You need to publish your theme to see the final result, you will not have an optimal result and you will not see for sure the modifications you made without it. In any case at home without publishing the theme, I am like you, I see almost nothing of what I have before. I am sure that in a few months we will most certainly have real time previews;)

The only thing you will not have real-time  previews of are the wheels ( graphical ) , if you are not seeing previews like my YouTube videos then there is a problem

I plan to do a livestream this coming Sunday, I’ll show off the new animation features plus some other little tweaks, talk about what’s next then open it up to questions and how to’s plus anything else you may wish to suggest.

I see that both game name and notes are being displayed so you have metadata from launchbox for that particular game, if you were to select that game in bigbox (with a default theme) would you see a video?    By the way what ui element are you using for the video onscreen?   Selected item video or User defined video?

The wheel won’t display anything in the editor but there’s no reason for the video and box art not to show... very odf

Hmmm humor me and in the editor , go to ssx 2 again, click the video and scroll down thru the properties and click display when  active / selected (radio buttons)  see if the video displays when clicking either option, same for the box front image also

No, that’s fine as that allows you to pull in and use 3rd party plugins

also i cannot get game description text to scroll , not in app nor bigbox, if the description does nto fit into designated field scroll does not scroll to reveal text that could not fit in, please advise

To get the Game Description to scroll make sure you use a low number in the scroll speed, I use "2" that was a mistake I was making thinking the higher the number the fast it would scroll :)

please go to your launchbox file path, for example... D:\LaunchBox\Data and send me the Platforms.xml file (send to me directly, not here) I have a sneaky suspicion that the location of your meta data images, videos etc.. differ to mine and others, which is not your issue, its mine as I need to cater to that, I just want to confirm that's the issue.
