Hi all Like others I love the plugin, it makes a huge difference to a cabinet set up. Has there been any progress with stopping the videos looping? I want to have a video marquee that has a character drag the marquee into place. I've got a few set up to try but assumed the video would stop on the final frame (the full screen marquee). However, currently the video keeps looping around and starts dragging the marquee in again... Either stopping on the final frame or playing the video once and replacing it with a static image would work. Is this something that's likely to be implemented?

Hmm, I installed Launchbox on my other computer and all seemed OK. SFC /Scannow didn't help and DISM RestoreHealth got stuck... I did a full in-place repair and the issue seems to have gone away. Something in my Windows install must have got corrupted somehow. The good news is it doesn't seem like a Launchbox issue

Hi All Hopefully someone can help with this... For the last couple of days Launchbox has crashed if I try to update the metadata database. When I try I get the following error: Unable to download the updated metadata: No such host is known. (gamesdb.launchbox-app.com:443) If I try to download media (from the LB tab, not EM) I get the following error: The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found. (images.launchbox-app.com:80) I can download from the EM without issue. I've tried reinstalling LB over the top of my existing install but it doesn't help. I also tried installing a completely separate instance of Launchbox in a different folder. However, this has the same problem. Any advice would be gratefully received. Regards Jonathan

I have the same issue. Password and username work fine on the website but not through LB. Note: I also updated to 11.11.

I think you may have cracked it! I've been trying to replicate the error this morning and so far haven't had any crashes with the videos switched on. I've been able to edit around 50 games without issue and it wasn't ever getting passed 10. I'll keep going and post back if it does reoccur but fingers crossed you've solved it. Thanks for the time you've put into sorting this out it is appreciated. Regards Jonnie

Will do, thank you again everyone for all the help pinning this down

Ok, it wasn't the corrupt video file. With the videos switched back on in the details tab I just got another hang. I'll switch them off again and keep editing and see whether they stop completely.

@C-Beats Ok, it definitely appears to be related to the videos. With the videos removed from the details tab I can't get it to hang. I tried turning them back on and still couldn't get it to hang. Now, it could either be toggling the videos off and on again that appears to have fixed it or it could be that I had a corrupt video file. Earlier I noticed that a couple of games still had the annoying red triangle and exclamation mark that Emu Movies provides for unplayable games. As nearly all of them are playable now I used Windows explorer to search for all the .mp4 files in my video folder. As I was searching through I noticed that one video didn't have a thumbnail, so I opened it to see what it was. Neither Pot Player or VLC would play it and said it may be corrupt. I then deleted the file. So, it's possible that LB was hitting the corrupt video and that was causing the hang. I only found the 1 though, so I don't know if LB would be accessing it when I'm in a completely different platform... It might be worth @joshchawks having a look at his video folder too and checking to see if there is a corrupt video lurking about... I'll keep doing some edits to make sure it's not just a fluke that it hasn't hung yet

@C-Beats It's set to VLC. I'll have a go at removing the videos from the details panel and see if I can still get it to hang.

I have videos displayed but they aren't set to auto play. I don't have any music at all. Jonathan

Ok, here is my log with Beta 6. It took a while to hang this time but it did still do it. This was right click, edit, ok. Debug 2020-10-09 08-09-18 AM.log Here's one with right click, edit, cancel Debug 2020-10-09 08-16-09 AM.log As Josh said, thanks for the time you're putting into this it's greatly appreciated.

Hi Jason I'm not I'm afraid, I tried changing from the new default to the old one to see if it made a difference but no joy. I also tried changing the background to a plain black image but it didn't help. Jonathan

Ok, here is my log. It's just starting LB then opening and closing the edit Window a few times, then the hang. This one was right clicking and then pressing ok. Debug 2020-10-08 08-14-28 AM.log Here's one where I pressed the 'Edit' button and then 'Close' in the edit window Debug 2020-10-08 08-21-18 AM.log I'm not sure it shows much regarding the hang but then I don't really know what I'm looking for

@C-Beats Yes, the game details pop back up and the crash happens almost immediately afterwards. I can't select another game, it freezes with the green box around the one I just edited.
