C-Beats

I would wait until next beta version comes out first and then update to that to see if the issue changes at all. We have a LOT of upcoming changes to Big Box theming and some of them may help resolve some of the issues you are seeing.

Found here: https://forums.launchbox-app.com/contact/

This will be corrected in next beta release. If you turn off "Skip GamesDetailView" in Options > General, you should be able to select play from there in the interim.

Yeah, that's fine. I'll do my best to answer in a timely manner.

Nope that's intended for right now. Do it that way because the other images may make the Wall Items blend in or harder to see.

Just so we are clear we are talking about having issues recording the gameplay of the game Big Box launched, not of Big Box itself, correct? If yes you may need to make sure that the application in question isn't running in exclusive fullscreen mode. Applications running that way generally are talking to the vid card directly so any software that uses OS functionality to see/record the screen will no longer work. To test this try and set the game you are launching to run in window mode or borderless fullscreen and see if it resolves your issue.

No the support email address is the only one that can resolve this for you. I would resend your email to ensure it didn't get snagged in some filter along the way.

Only way currently is to wait for a new version or manually edit your Settings file.

Windows has built in screen recording capability with the Game Bar, can open it up with Win+G.

Are you changing the theme to do this? The default WallViews in Big Box don' have a background image set and is always black.

Regarding the points you bring up in your video. To make the rows clamp you would need to add a value to the "NavigationRows" (int) property, in your example I believe you want the value of 1. For the increased sizing you would want to either set the "SelectedItemZPosition" (double) with a value that moves your item TOWARDS your camera (generally positive number), or set the "SelectedOffset" (Point3D) with the Z being a number towards your camera (generally positive number)

Do you have an example of how you have your XAML set up where you are seeing this?

If it's not listed as a correction in the posts Jason makes that list what we have touched the answer is "likely not". I've not heard of this issue before, and I don't believe we have touched any input code on this beta, so I would assume that it still would act the same as the current version.

Nahimic negatively interferes with Microsoft WPF product that we use to display 99% of the application. We would effectively have to start over to do this, so unfortunately the answer is no we cannot.

What is being done in OnBeforeGameLaunching, that can't simply be done in the OnAfterGameLaunched call (which is only called if the game DOES indeed launch)?

Rough Image match can cause the media import process to take quite a bit of time. It is best to keep it turn off until you have a good baseline established and are only using the media download tools to fetch a few new images from the database.

How long are they idle and are you sure you don't have attract mode on?

Yeah. That is why. I would take a bet that if you opened LaunchBox and went to your N64 platform, then selected a box and pressed CTRL-A to select all then F5 to refresh the cache you would suddenly not see any images there either. Big Box is looking for images in the N64 folder when they are in the Nintendo 64 folder. It will cause metadata scrape issues as well if you didn't set N64 to scrape as Nintendo 64

Images from LaunchBox and images in Big Box are all the same files so you have something going on if you can see them in one and not the other. Does Default theme work for you?

Where are you seeing the video being played?

Retro is correct, that is greatly affected by the theme. I also want to point out "Change Views" will not work in Game Details because there is only ONE GameDetailsView, there simply is nothing to change to.

Am I missing something? Both your links point to the same place. Please note that the number you see in LaunchBox as the Games DB ID and the ID used in the details hyperlink will NOT always match.

Force a refresh of the Games DB and it should clear it up. Go to the hamburger menu (top left) then Options > Force Update Games Metadata. Let it download a new xml file and it should clear that error up for you.

Yeah, it's not a overly complicated fix. Just open the default theme's ListContentView.xaml file and search for "ReleaseDate". You will see a SortMemberPath property being set. Just add that to the theme you are using.

Updated your ticket but making a post here as well so others with the issue may be able to use it in the future. I cannot replicate this issue with the LB default themes. It would be possible if you are using a different theme for this to happen if the theme doesn't have the sort property set correctly however. Could you confirm what theme you are using in LaunchBox?
