We've looked into the possibility of doing something like this before, but as @JoeViking245 stated there just isn't any good data out there that is up-to-date, and the data that IS out there is ONLY for Arcade/MAME and wouldn't help with other consoles. Be cool to see if some one solves that problem, but right now is a bit of a chicken and egg scenario, and that doesn't even begin to take into consideration the fact that emulation makes it possible for buttons to be mapped anywhere so making something like that which matches your exact setup becomes even more difficult and cumbersome. It'll be interesting to see what @stigzler comes up with.

I listed all fields used in the search and outlined exactly the logic we use to fetch the return set. As stated notes is not one of them, alternate names however is. Bio-Ship Paladin has an alternate name of "Space Battleship Gomora" and is thus returned in the result set. If you're looking for a more granular search functionality you could instead use the Filter menu of Big Box.

I'd have to look up the exact syntax but what you are asking for can be done with animations like @faeran told you. You are basically looking to use boolean key frames. 0s key frame (or whenever you want to start playing the video) would set the FlowVideo control's PlayVideo property to True, then add another key frame at 7s that sets it to false. You would then need to shut off the animations repeat behavior. I'm unsure if CTC can handle the marquee or this advanced logic or not, but should be possible via the raw XAML

What version are you currently running? I know a LOT of stability improvements were added into 12.14 to greatly improve attract mode performance and reducing crashing over long periods.

The following fields are utilized in the search function and returns any game where any of the following fields contain the string you’re looking for: Title Platform Developer Publisher Source Status Genre Alternate Name

Not sure what you mean. You mean you don't want the game title under the image, but IN the image like Default does?

Please follow the steps I laid out for another user here:

I left a note for us to internally discuss those strings as they read a bit confusing for what they actually mean. It doesn't mean, "Display Videos" but "Display Videos in Background" (as opposed to the foreground). I can see where some users could get confused.

Can either of you take a screenshot of what you are seeing?

In Big Box Options page, go to Video section and ensure you "Use Platform Background Videos" and "Use Game Background Videos" are turned off and then the video will display like you see in the release video by ETAPrime. Should look similar to this when done.

It's been a minute since I've used the Epic importer but it is very possible Epic changed something on their end. I'll try to run the import today and see if I can replicate the issue.

The issue is more than likely that you haven't cleared your image cache and are using the old image generated still. In Big Box options there is a image cache section. Should be able to clear or reset the wheel images from there and then the image should appear.

Probably best to ask on that theme's support thread. @faeran would be the best to help ya. I'm not sure without digging into the theme where those icons need to be so that you can verify no files are missing or named incorrectly.

I've never seen it manifest like that but I'd vet that you don't have a service called nahimic running on your computer and if so disable it. It's known to cause visual issues with WPF apps like LaunchBox and Big Box.

The Unified family of themes are probably closest to what you'd see in HyperSpin as far as I know. I've personally never used HyperSpin but I've seen a lot of previous HyperSpin users gravitate to those because of the similarities. Those themes DO tend to work better with Theme Videos than most themes so you'll want to plan accordingly.

At the time no this isn't. That string is pulled from Steam API directly. I'd need to see if there is a way to specify the culture in their API call to get the translated value (assuming the title has one) to do something like that.

@Rlad This is a change retro-archievements made on their end: https://retroachievements.org/viewtopic.php?t=13893

I don't believe we have any other reports of controllers not working in 12.14 so it sounds like a settings issue or something related to your set up. What controller are you using? Also in Big Box is "Use All Game Controllers" enabled or disabled? Does changing that setting change the issue for you?

Nothing is locked behind a paywall regarding downloading media from Epic Games, there was also no code changes to that process from 12.13 to 12.14 so unsure why you would be seeing any changes from one version to another. Can you successfully grab media for games you're having the issue with if you grab the media (or attempt to) from the Add/Edit Game window?

This is a change on RetroAchievements end that can be read here: https://retroachievements.org/viewtopic.php?t=13893 TLDR: RetroAchievements is only giving credit to your "RetroScore" for hardcore achievements earned, and changing how they support "softcore" achievements

Do any of you have sleep or shutdown mapped in controller mapping or keyboard mapping within Big Box?

Two comparison of the same field are joined by an OR statement which is causing your issue. Your statement reads IS NOT Racing OR IS NOT Sports so any value is true and you will return your whole list. What you need to set is Genre - Has None of the Values - Racing; Sports

Do you have any firewalls running that could be potentially blocking the actual installer download? You're the only person I've heard of having this problem so would assume that there is something system related causing the issue.
