I had thought about that. Hadn't decided for or against it.

Thinking of sharing this out, not quite ready yet, but I'm at a point where I'm handling edge-cases. I use Prisim Live Studio to stream online and I got tired of filling out the info forms for streams so I wanted to automate that process and use Launchbox info and artwork assets to do things like make thumbnails use metadata as tags and consolidate that down to a single button press on my streamdeck. Below is a map of what the process does and also images of the actual plugin. Lemme know if there is any interest in this or if you have any questions. Process map Main plugin screen Sidebar studio: Web interface to upload or set sidebars that can be used in prism live studio The web studio Here's what the result looks like on youtube Worth noting on this one, hellraiser always made launchbox crash in the background for some reason so the info disappears halfway through the stream.

ok, I actually took the time to watch some of this.........that's pretty damn cool. The idea of negative latency is wild! I hope this project isn't fully dead because I would really love to do something like this.... I had never never seen/used JUST streaming the video, while playing on the local machine and networking that part....now that i think of it...steam does do this with it's multi machine service..... but i never messed with it much and had very little faith in that.........thanks for introducing me to a new way of thinking about it and seeing it in action...this is kind of exciting actually.

I didn't see a general discussion board so just throwing this wherever. Perhaps technilogically impossible.... but I want a server instance (per se) of a front-end/back-end platform, that I can point a client instance installed on a HTPC back to it and i can game in literally any room of my house...all I would need is to configure the client and hook up a physical USB device or controller and i get the same experience as having a full front end experience installed locally...... I DON'T WANT A CLOUD SERVICE, I want a self hosted service (using the term loosely here) that houses all my configurations and assets and that stuff travels over the network and feeds the client instance to game.......so a gaming console without the console. Ok, end rant, feel free to discuss...perhaps someone out there has a vision in the technical details of it, as far as I'm aware nothing like that really exists...there are video transcoding services that can encode and decode for video streaming...but for gaming....ehhhhh...and then there's the latency challenge, which is bad enough locally....hence why i say maybe technologically impossible, but it's what i want to see happen.

I built this a while ago if anyone uses docker to store magazines, manuals and strategy guides. I have all my stuff converted to CBZ, because i hate pdf's.

Launchbox Connector update to 0.4.28 , Per the strawpoll feedback this was the most requested Item to be updated. I had a rethink on some things and hopefully this is a suitable improvement for better matching and usability. Much improvement to go, but it is better than before. Link for connector download:

Title: GuideVault Roadmap Poll – What Would You Like to See Next? I’m looking at possible directions for the next phase of GuideVault development and would like feedback from the LaunchBox community. Which of the following would be most valuable to you? Vote Here: https://strawpoll.com/PbZqbGkqvyN A mobile companion app could make it easier to browse and read manuals, strategy guides, and magazines from a phone or tablet. The exact capabilities would depend on community interest and what people would actually find useful. If you select the integrations option, please comment with the services or platforms you would like GuideVault to support. Likewise, if you want further LaunchBox Connector improvements, let me know which areas of the current experience need the most attention. This poll isn’t a promise that the most popular option will immediately be developed, but it will help me understand where the strongest interest is and where future development time would provide the most value.

GuideVault v1.2.9 – Game Dossiers and Library Improvements A new GuideVault update is now available, focused on better game organization, expanded IGDB integration, and a cleaner library experience. Game Dossiers GuideVault can now create detailed game dossiers that bring together all related content in one place, including: Manuals Strategy guides Magazine appearances Related games Platform information Screenshots and localized covers IGDB metadata and external resources Dossiers open directly in the main GuideVault interface and feature a redesigned game-focused layout. The primary localized box cover is displayed prominently, while available game artwork provides a faded background for the header. Improved IGDB Integration The IGDB integration now retrieves additional game information, including: Localized game covers Background artwork Screenshots Platform logos Related games and releases Website classifications Wikipedia links are now labeled Wiki, Nintendo support links are identified appropriately, and generic duplicate Website labels have been reduced. Better Document Management Linked Manuals, Strategy Guides, and Magazine Appearances can now be expanded and scrolled so every matched document can be reviewed. Incorrect matches can be removed without deleting the underlying library file. Removed links remain excluded during future metadata refreshes. Automatic matching has also been tightened to prioritize actual game titles and alternative names instead of broad franchise or collection references. Manage Links Mode To keep dossiers visually clean, editing controls are hidden during normal viewing. Administrators can select Manage Links beside Refresh IGDB + Matches to reveal: Remove document controls Remove related-game controls Set primary platform controls The button changes to Done Managing while editing mode is active. Platform Improvements Platform logos are now retrieved from IGDB when available. Administrators can also manually choose the correct primary platform when IGDB’s default selection does not match the version represented in the GuideVault library. Easier Dossier Creation The dossier creation process now uses a searchable wizard under: Settings → Account → Game Dossiers Select a Manual or Strategy Guide, search for the correct game through IGDB, review the match, and create the dossier. Once a dossier exists, the Dossiers destination becomes available in the main sidebar. Cleaner Navigation Additional navigation cleanup includes: Removed redundant individual collection links from the sidebar Preserved the main Collections section Hidden empty collection entries Correctly distinguished custom sidebar shortcuts from collections Hidden empty custom shortcuts while keeping them editable in Settings Updating with Docker The latest image is available from GitHub Container Registry: ghcr.io/shredder5262/guidevault:latest To update an existing Docker Compose installation: docker compose pull docker compose up -d --force-recreate --remove-orphans GuideVault’s library, users, configuration, and other persistent data remain stored in the mounted data volume during the update.

I'm embarrassed to have to ask this, but how do I put an image on a download in the downloads section, I see no place in the 'edit details' section where I can upload a photo specifically for a download icon..... I can put photos on the post...but I seem to not have that part.... Any guidance is appreciated. *Ok, thanks everybody....appreciate it.

That's me not updating the internal app, but updating the release package when i published it. A visual confirmation would be seeing the 'Library Tools' menu on the left hand of the settings menu. I will get the version numbers better aligned. I will update the existing package so the app says v1.1.1, and whatever else going forward. I honestly didn't know anyone besides myself was using it, so I didn't think anyone else would care. *update*, versioning reporting is fixed now.

use docker compose. in the directory of your compose file "Docker compose down" "Docker compose up -d" Pulls the latest version
