Um, no. Your disk is fast enough. It didn't come from there.

Have you tried the HD video set instead of 4K?

Otherwise, I'm not sure. Media seems to take 1 second to load.
In the next version of the theme, I'll try to simplify this. It'll be much simpler, stable and snapy I hope!

I tried the HD video set as well; CPU is a Ryzen 7950x, GPU is a 4080. I'm excited for the next version, this theme is so awesome!

@Margo From what I see of your video:

Black screens are not normal. Is the disk on which LaunchBox is installed fast or slow (SSD or old HDD)?
I also have the impression that you validate (hit enter) during the selection wheel. When the image is on the left.
When you validate a platform, you go directly to the GamesView. 
To see the platform animation, don't touch anything and wait.
It's a design problem on my part: the animation is too long and when you use it, you stop waiting for it. I'm working on this for the next big theme update. Finding the right compromise between design and usability.

I installed this after building my first PC, and I'm not too familiar with what's considered a fast disk, though it's stored on a WD SN850X SSD. I've also just reapplied default transitions and tested waiting for the animation to pan the image, and the left side of the screen still becomes pitch-black for a bit after validation. If any footage would be helpful please feel free to let me know. I'll try and figure out what's causing this; I appreciate you and Faeran's replies! Sending the best of wishes.

Maybe turn off transitions in options for the platform videos.

Here is footage of the theme with all transitions set to "None". -

That's because you're using the wrong theme view.
In the BigBox display options, change the platform view. You can also assign a key to this action.

Another point, platform videos.
Too heavy to be included in the theme archive, you can easily download them from LaunchBox > Tools > Download > Platform/Playlist Theme Videos.
Here, select "Colorful" (HD or 4K) and validate each option by platform.

Thank you very much for the response! I'll change the platform view.

I do have the playlist videos already downloaded and being utilized, though now that I think about it, maybe it has to do with using the 4K videos on my 1080p display. I'll test more later today and report back. Sending well wishes!

EDIT: Switched to the HD video set. Here is footage that shows the issue my setup is having - 

If I can provide any more information that would be helpful, I'd be happy to do so! It's alright if there's not a known cause.

Hi!

I got BigBox; seeing how amazing this "COLORFUL" theme looks from youtube videos was a significant incentive! Thank you to anyone who contributed to this theme; it's so awesome.

I am encountering some errors at the moment in setting it up. I figure there may be a step in setting this up I have missed; attached are two screenshots of two different issues I noticed.

1st screenshot: When scrolling through platforms, the view seems off. Platform names are at the top with a green highlight rather than as appeared in other online footage. 

2nd screenshot: When selecting a platform, the transition takes a moment before displaying the proper platform background color. Before the proper color does appear, it is pitch black.
