Hybrid view isn't working correctly for me. If I exit out of game view into platform hybrid view, whatever game I had selected is now the only one that launches when I select any of the recently played games. See attached video where I had Omega Race selected, backed out to hybrid view, and then Omega Race gets launched for every recently played game I try to launch. IMG_3602.mov

Right, there is no guaranteed single way to exit. Even with escape, depending on your mame version/settings you probably have to send it as direct input if you are trying to exit programmatically. Importantly there is no method to exit a game in the plugin library the same way there is for launching a game. If anyone wants the feature you should request it from the launchbox devs and they can figure out the best way to handle it. Then I'd be happy to expose it through this CLI plugin. -
@essence No, you can't exit a game through the command line. The reason is that there isn't a generic way to exit a game (it's always game specific how you exit).

launchbox and bigbox integrated marquuee 2nd screen issue
superrob3000 replied to miremare's topic in Troubleshooting
@miremare in ThirdScreen settings click the gear icon and select Disable Display Validation. Then it should work fine (even though it's detecting the display numbers differently). -
@boizgreg You just need to go into ThirdScreen settings, click the gear icon in the upper right, and select "Disable Display Validation". Then it should let you share the monitor with two windows like you are trying to do. -
When you import a game marquee video through LaunchBox, by default it just places it at: LaunchBox/Videos/<Platform Name>/Marquee/<Game Title>.<extension> You can place the videos there yourself if you don't want to import each one individually in LaunchBox. Or you can change the folder where it looks for videos by editing the platform (but that would affect all of the platform's videos, not just marquee videos): Right click the platform->Edit->Folders->Video->Browse
-
In LaunchBox, Right click a game->Edit->Edit Metadata/Media->Videos->Add Video. Then set type to "Marquee".
-
Make sure the marquee is disabled in bigbox settings: Options->General->Marquee Screen->None Some people have reported it having been re-enabled after updating LaunchBox.

Unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce this, and as far as I know you are the only one reporting it. Maybe try enabling debug logging in both LaunchBox and ThirdScreen settings and then send me both log files after hanging. Also, if you need to you can manually manage platform video marquees just by placing or removing the files in the following folders: LanchBox/Videos/Platforms/Marquee/<platform name>.<extension> LanchBox/Videos/Playlists/Marquee/<playlist name>.<extension> LanchBox/Videos/Platform Categories/Marquee/<platform category name>.<extension>

@marcosgaming Please see my FAQ on the download page about using shortcuts with the elgato app.
-
@andrebirn What versions of LaunchBox and the plugin are you using? Can you describe what happens and is there any error message?
-
@Leos Lounge This is correct. You'll either need to uprage LaunchBox to 13.19+ or downgrade ThirdScreen to 5.0.13. It shouldn't matter that the drive is external.
-
@Miremare2025 there is no such limitation that it has to be "one or the other". If it's not working for you from both BigBox and Launchbox then please post the details (preferably in the ThirdScreen plugin thread). Also include your Logs/ThirdScreenLog.txt file. You'll have to enable debug logging in your ThirdScreen settings if you haven't already.
-
Yeah that's strange. Not sure how that setting would get changed. Glad it's working now though.

It's working fine for me. Can you verify that you still have your marquee disabled in BigBox settings (Options->General->Marquee Screen: None)? If that's not the issue then please enable debug logging in ThirdScreen settings if you haven't already and send me the log file (LaunchBox/Logs/ThirdScreenLog.txt).
