Multiple comparisons of the same field are joined by an OR comparison. So you're saying Publisher is not Atari OR is not Capcom, which means you'll get all items. If you have a premium license you could just add a custom field to items in a playlist (or not in one) and then auto-pop a playlist based on that field.

I've got this on my list of things to look into. See if I can get ya some answers.

The user that had the plugin made for him (and subsequently added it to the forums) decided to part ways and took down the posts before doing so. We simply respected his wishes. I believe @Fry actually developed the plugin. He may be willing to reupload, but that's entirely up to him.

Do you have games that are missing a box image? Or does everything in your collection have one? Just trying to rule out that those entries may be displaying correctly because they are hitting games that don't have an image and so show the fallback one.

There is no current way to hide a game from a platform but not playlists. You can remove a platform from the platform category view though. To do so edit the platform, go to the Parent tab and uncheck all the boxes.

With a drive that big I'd use NTFS anyway. But to answer your question to get themes to work yes you may need to do some additional work if using an exFAT formatted disk. exFAT doesn't support the symlinks we use to make themes happy and without them themes that use media files can't find them and start throwing errors. Some themes won't be affected, many will be.

ah never mind, didn't even notice the text underneath, which is what I assume you're wanting added.

Just is the normal logo isn't it?

Yeah, not entirely sure I understand the logic behind us allow that bar to resized. Maybe it is a legacy setting from Old Default, but I'm not sure I see the value in it now. I jotted it down for things to look into moving forward.

Apologies I had forgotten you could even resize that control. You can do the following: Make sure LaunchBox is closed Go to \\LaunchBox\Data\Settings.xml and open it in a text editor Look for the "ControlsBarHeight" tag, and set it to 56, then save and close the file Reopen LaunchBox This should being that bar down so you can resize it back to whatever your setting was.

Not ever seen that before. Should be able to press Ctrl+Shift+B to hide that menu. If using a theme I'd suggest repairing the theme as well.

You can email support@unbrokensoftware.com and ask them to look into it. No one on the forums will be able to help you with your license file.

You can check the size of yours to compare. The two caches are in \\LaunchBox\Images\Cache-LB\ and \\LaunchBox\Images\Cache-BB\

We are actively looking into the cause of this and it should be corrected in the next beta release. I'll do my best to remember to post here when the release those changes are in comes out so you can opt into the beta and see if it corrects the issues you're seeing.

LaunchBox itself being on an SSD will help because the disk I/O is faster. Most images are loaded from cache when possible so the media doesn't NEED to be on the SSD. That being said though some image types typically AREN'T cached and so those will still be slower. Main one being screenshots. Videos will also take longer to load off of a HDD obviously. That being said I run most of my LaunchBox builds from a HDD not a SSD and in some circumstances you CAN tell the difference, but most of the time on my computer the difference is fairly negligible. It's never bothered me enough that I'd deal with moving the installs, especially give how large they can get with all the associated media.

If the emulator you're pointing us to isn't MAME (and the correct version for your romset) I can see this being an issue. We ask the executable to produce a xml file we use to parse the data for the games you're importing. If not an official MAME release that command may not work, or may output data in a format that could cause issues.

When the error pops up can you copy/paste it's contents to this post? There are a lot of potential causes for a null reference like that and the stack trace provided in that window will be crucial in determining the cause for the error.

This behavior is driven by the theme. The property that drives it is called "Endless" and is located on the FlowControl of the view (there is only ever one so finding it is pretty easy). You simple need to either change the existing Endless property to false, or add a Endless="False" property to the FlowControl.

We are actively looking into this, I'll let you know when any changes make it into a beta release and ping you to see if you can confirm if the changes improve the situation.

Ah that makes sense. The image color profile may not be what WPF expects it to be and so when it reads the value they aren't coming out as intended by the original image. Using a tool like GIMP you can convert the color profile pretty easily.

Depending on what version you're using if you deleted your settings file you need to re-enable videos in the Options menu.

Been a minute since I did the theme but I'm pretty positive it has video playback if you have any videos to play for the title. I use TrueVert on my pin cab and it plays the vid, and that theme is the same as FauxVert with all the fake rotation stuff ripped out.

A lot of the filters are driven by INI's of various sources and are placed in the \\LaunchBox\ThirdParty\MAME\ directory. If you're using the newest set during import it may be worthwhile to take a look in that folder and google each of those filenames and grab the most recent ones and replace the ones in that folder with them. Typically they come out within a week of the MAME release. Grabbing these will make sure we have the most up-to-date metadata to work with to help those filters work as well as possible.

Big Box doesn't have any settings to rotate it in app. It'll match whatever orientation the monitor it's sitting on is at. I have a theme available for download on this site called FauxVert that will however render vertically on a Landscape monitor which would function that way

Yeah, right now though the URL hasn't changed throughout all of the Steam endpoints. Your profile and games list both still work without the h, the same cannot be said about your games list with it.
