  1. I detect a delay with the marquee, if you change faster from one game to another game and push play game directly to enter, the system show a incorrect marquee and not show the select game marquee.

    I tested with default theme and other themes and have the same problem, in version 12.3 works fine but in other versions have a delay

  2. Since I have updated to version 12.14 in BigBox I have noticed that the marquee refresh is much slower, if you change quickly from one game to another and run it, it does not have time to update the marquee and shows me the marquee of the previous game.
    Also it happens to me that in many occasions when I execute a game it does not finish pausing the video that is being reproduced and when entering to the game it continues playing the bigbox video.

    I have rollback the version 12.13 and with this version the problem of the marquee and the problem of the video does not happen to me.

    Does anyone else have the same problem?

    Want to take that to the community theme creator thread for y2guru to take a look at. Pretty positive that's his plugin throwing the error.

    It is indeed a plugin problem, with the standard theme it works perfectly.
    Thanks for telling me where the bug was

  4. @C-Beats I found an error related with my favorites list,

    Steps to reproduce error:

    1- Create a list for Favorites Games and put as in your platform view

    2- Enter in BigBox, enter in a platform a mark a game as favorite

    3-Go you Favorites list, select a game a remove favorite.

    4-Exite platform view, and enter again in your favorite view

  5. I have already seen the problem, when the BigBox window doesn't get the focus, it is because it gets it from the JoytoKey that I use to send the esc key from the joystick 2 to the retroarch to exit.

    Is there any way to indicate at the emulator level to run a program on exit, in the style of additional applications that is at the game level?

    Or does anyone know how to configure retroarch to assign hotkeys from the jostick 2?

    Thank you very much  @JoeViking245 for your advice.

  6. Confirmed that the confirmation quit is disabled, I have mapped a joystick button to exit retroarch, before I used joytokey to send an ESC now it is direct with a button.

    I only have the load game messages active, and randomly I keep losing focus when exiting the game.

    If I open mame games that I launch with retroarch and I hit the exit button, in many occasions it works fine, but in some I fail, and this is a problem because I have it in arcade without keyboard and it makes me restart the system.

    I don't have any script in the load, I have tried with WinActivateBottom and it doesn't work either, bigbox is the only application that runs, and the only special thing I have is that I use two screens, one for games and another one for marquees.

  7. Hi @JoeViking245

    The script doesn't work at all, the BigBox screen gets the focus, but it's like frozen, it doesn't play videos, the Joystick doesn't work.

    I have to click on it with the mouse to get it to work again, it's pretty weird, I've tried activating the startup screens and removing them.

    This happens to me very often and I'm just launching retroarch nothing else.
    Any suggestions?

  8. Hello,
    I have configured as Running Script the following AHK

    F12::
    {
        Process, Close, Retroarch.exe

        if WinExist("LaunchBox")
        {
            WinActivate
            WinActivate, LaunchBox Game Startup
        }

        if WinExist("LaunchBox Big Box")
        {
            WinActivate
            WinActivate, LaunchBox Game Startup
        }


    }

    When I run it from launchbox if I have any window in foreground when I press F12 it closes correctly retroarch and launchbox gets the focus.

    But when I run it from BigBox, it doesn't get the BigBox focus, on the other hand if I run it from outside AHK the same BigBox script does get the focus.

    Does anyone know what can be happening so that from BigBox the WinActivate works correctly?

  9. If I want to use another video folder, how should I do it?

    The problem that I have is that in that route I have put some videos that shows the theme on the monitor, and I want to indicate another totally different route with the specific videos and with the format of the digital marquee.

    Is there any way to indicate a folder within the theme as the data source of the videos?

    Thank you very much for your time, it is really helping me a lot @faeran

  10. Hi @faeran

     

    Thanks for tips with Flowvideo, with this object work great, your are great man ;)

    I have only a question, I'm using this code for play marquee video

     

     <!-- MARQUEE VIDEO -->
            <coverFlow:FlowVideo x:Name="MarqueeVideo" VideoType="Marquee" DataContext="{Binding SelectedPlatform}" PlayVideo="True" PlayAudio="False" FallbackToDefault="False">
                <coverFlow:FlowVideo.Style>
                    <Style TargetType="{x:Type coverFlow:FlowVideo}">
                        <Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Visible"/>
                    </Style>
                </coverFlow:FlowVideo.Style>
            </coverFlow:FlowVideo>
            <!-- MARQUEE VIDEO END -->

    I only have a doubt if I want read videos from route "Themes\TestTheme\Media\Videos", how should I specify the source, I have tried several ways and I can't find the way.

    I would be very grateful for any advice

    Hi @Aiwer. The latest version of LaunchBox is currently 12.1, so I assume this is the version that you are on.

    Are you using the COMMUNITY Theme Creator to create a platform marquee view or did you delve into the code and add a video to your platform marquee view?

    Hi @faeran

    I'm using Community theme creator and as you say my version is 12.1

    I attach the example of platform marquee view, when I put monitor one this work fine, but with monitor 2 I have 2 o 3 second of delay in video

    Default_PlatformMarqueeView.txt

  12. I am testing the theme of putting videos on the marquee, and I have a strange behavior.

    If I put a video in the platform marquee for example, and this is always played on monitor one, every time I change platform it plays perfectly, but if I configure the marquee as monitor two, when I change platform I have a delay of about 2/3 seconds before the video starts to play smoothly.

    I'm testing with the latest Beta 12.2
