[COLORFUL bigbox theme]

@viking and @Margo

for what it's worth I'm fairly certain my setup does the same thing and I have never once thought it to be a bug or unintended.  a few things to note...

I am using the dark variant with 4K videos, and I have customized parts of the theme, but this seems to really only occur under these specific conditions.  You must being changing from a Platform View going into Text List With Details as the view to select individual games. I've kept an unaltered copy of Colorful Dark as well and see same behavior on stock settings too

 

Video clip of my system doing the same thing. I am going from SNES platform, into said platform to select a game, this is the only way I can recreate it so far. Notice the black section where the color condition should be filling it in on the left hand side? Shows up for just a split second before getting the proper fill in along with the rest of the view loading. I do notice that looks delayed compared to switching to other views/screens throughout Big Box, at least in regard to a noticeable black element filling in, or not filling in, however it's technically seen by the program.

 

 

I noted this occurs when using Text List With Details for the platform view and I think it's equally import to notice it does NOT occur on the ACTUAL Game Details View. Which may or may not be helpful because I kinda thought they were one in the same view lol?!  So it doesn't matter if you have Game Details marked as skipped or not, going into that Game Details via a user assignable button or from having the view come up natively (due to not being marked as skipped) the issue doesn't occur there.  I would be suspect of Text List With Details view having something to do with this issue based on my brief investigation

 

 

I've had this issue pretty much since I've had BigBox.  I always assumed it was because I was running my metadata off of a NAS HDD array...Interesting to hear folks with more normal setups having this issue.

[Big Box scrolling lag]

I'm definitely seeing slowdown and hitches with scrolling on 12.16.  I can't view the videos in question, but I am definitely noticing a performance hit.  I thought it was the Microsoft update for October at first....

 

Edit:

 

In my case it is significantly worse with any game that has a video attached to it.  Though scrolling overall definitely seems impacted.  Video performance as a whole seems a little off as well, both platform and game.  I'm using the latest version of VLC as well.

Id check the below thread and see if it relates to you.

 

I could very well be wrong, but I don't think these are the same issue.  My graphical objects and transitions are all working great, I only have font size inconsistency.

[COLORFUL bigbox theme]

This theme is so freaking clean!

I am having a weird issue though, where the font size is inconsistent.  The first time I enter a platform's library, the font size is really small, as seen below:

 

However, when I exit the library and enter again, the font size turns into a way more acceptable level.

 

Anyone else experience this, or know how I can fix it?

[Steam Refusing to Import]

So...I figured it out.

Apparently Steam will not create an id/<ID HERE> page unless you create a custom URL.  The default number name just straight up does not work.  Weird.

[Steam Refusing to Import]

I have been trying to get my Steam library imported into Launchbox, and I’m having some difficulty. I have put in my ID#, API Key, and ensured my profile is public. However, it claims my account could not be accessed. I have restarted Steam, Launchbox, and the VM it is all hosted on.

‌

Something I noticed is that the link referenced inside the launchbox wizard looks like it has been deprecated. In launchbox it shows up as steamcommunity.com/id/<YOURIDHERE>, but the profile in steam is located at steamcommunity.com/profiles/<YOURIDHERE>. Not sure if the internal code has been updated to reflect this change or not, but it is something I noticed.

 

EDIT: Just for fun I tried to trick the wizard with a directory traversal by using “../profiles/<YOURIDHERE>”, to no avail. Might not be possible with the wizard, or I might just be barking up the wrong tree.

[.m3u Files Puts Discs in Wrong Order]

Hey, so I am using PSCX HW on Retroarch with Launchbox as my front-end.  Whenever I try to open a multi-disc game like Final Fantasy VII, the game opens on disc 2.  I can right click and select Disc 1 and it will work fine.  Looking at the Additional Apps section also seems to show that the discs are assigned numbers correctly, though they are out of order on that page.  Is this normal, or is it a bug?  Is there any way to fix this without having to delete and recreate each multi-disc game entry?
