@RULLUR - Your reported sound issue should be corrected in this build. Please confirm. @malarrya - Your reported background image should be resolved in this build. Please confirm.

Audit tool uses your priorities options to determine WHAT is a 3D box image. It could be that you have more than just the Box - 3D image type in that image group. If you go to Tools > Options what do you see here?

Thanks for the assist. Seems like @malarrya is encountering a bug. Was able to replicate with their data files and will get it corrected as soon as possible.

I'm not able to reproduce the problems you are having. Anyway you could throw your data folder into a zip file and PM it to me so I can verify your settings when I try to test?

Select all the items in the Audit tool, right click and open the Download Metadata and Media tool.

Use the Audit tool. Does the same image check logic the "Games Missing Media" filter does before showing the results. There are columns for the various image groups that tell you how many images a game has in each group. Just click the column to sort by and all the games with 0 images should group together to make what you're trying to do easier.

I personally just use Find and Replace in a text editor and edit the XML files. Would replace ".wbfs</ApplicationPath>" (without quotes) with ".zip</ApplicationPath>" (without quotes). I'd make sure to back up the file you are editing before you do it though just incase you screw something up and need to revert the changes.

Depending on how you do it this should be possible without the need of a plugin using WPFs built in FormatConvertedBitmap control

lol it happens from time to time . Would appear though that your version is older than when we put that menu option in. Will have to follow the mods provided steps then or just get the installer from the website.

Can do the following to force an immediate update check regardless of your options: Go to Hamburger menu (three lines) Go to Help Selected "Check for Updates...." This will immediately check for an updated version and download once it finds it.

Having issues getting these logo's ripped out of this image for some reason. Anyway some one can pulled the logos out of this image? Just need the solid white image really. I can add my own text to the logo if need be.

You experiencing this in the default theme, or are you using a different theme?

Yeah, when using FFmpeg and simply copying the video codec you can only cut from I-Frame to I-Frame, to get around this and cut wherever you want you have to use a video codec and let the program re-encode the video with it. I do this using other tools usually (AviDemux is my go to) and use x264 encoding with a mp4 container.

Right now everything is speculation. A LOT can change in 5 months and Steam has flopped before releasing PCs as console to the general market. Will be interesting to see how this thing holds up to the hype.

You're device (much like Neil has stated) has to be connected so a device that ISN'T the computer and then would have to know to re-pair TO the device on start up. I'm not sure this is possible using a Xbox controller without a host of help software located on several different devices. Sounds like you'd need to look into apps that can control all the things you are looking for, but I can almost assure you that will NOT be your XBox controller.

Think the outlet is probably easier. Makes it work on far more devices and many even have built in WiFi (smart home outlets) so you could even turn your PC on from your phone on your way home from work so it was ready for you by the time you opened your door. Also FAR easier to set up (at least it sounds like it to me) than the solution you are describing.

Thought SteamDeck had their own Linux based OS on the device and it was locked down to that?

Always possible to get a bluetooth enabled power outlet and plug the PC into that outlet and then configure the PC BIOS to turn on when power is detected. Then just use whatever app the outlet uses to turn on the PC

I was able to find the cause for the black screen thing, and it was a essentially things loading out of order causing confusion in the program. I have my doubts though that it will correct the issue RULLUR is seeing but we can vet that out.

That will be corrected in the next release. Big Box doesn't try to resume your downloads like LaunchBox does so it makes sense you would see it one and not the other. If you want to you can remove the ImageQueue.xml file from your data folder while LaunchBox is closed to cancel your downloads and get rid of that error.

Yeah, or just tell Skraper to stop doing backups and metadata updates.

Yeah, Skrapers default settings wreck LaunchBox because of how/where they save the backup files. The files that read "'...-backup.xml" in your platforms folder need removed.

@OhBoy I believe I have found the cause of the Game Detail black screen bug and have code in place to correct it. Should be in the next beta release. @RULLUR I am actively looking into CoverFlow images not loading, but haven't found a cause for what you're seeing. I believe you sent me your data folder in the past but just so I know I have an up-to-date version could you throw your data folder into a zip and PM it to me? I can use it to help track down the cause of what you're seeing.

@OhBoy I doubt this issue is related to the beta, as you have found a forum post that old about it. I've noted it though and will take a look into it. Could I get the following information from you in regard to the error: What theme(s) do you see this on? Can you make it happen by doing a certain thing, or does it seem random? Do you have any plugins installed? What are your Big Box settings? Are you supposed to be playing a video, or loading an image? What Background transition do you have selected? Do you have any logs produced when you notice this happening you could send my way?

Would it be possible for you to copy/paste the whole error for me so I can see it? Would help narrow down the cause.
