  1. That's worth a shot. Just make a backup of your Images and Videos folders first in case it doesn't work out as expected. I think worst case, the rename tool might not recognize some of the media names that are too "fuzzy" and would just leave them as-is.
  2. By fill you mean it will preserve aspect ratio but some of the image can get chopped off, correct? I'll think about adding it.
  3. @CLB1966 You can do this with the "CLI Launcher" plugin. Just right-click the game in LaunchBox and select "Create Game Shortcut". For the shortcuts to work, either LaunchBox or BigBox need to already be running, but they can just be running in the background with the GUI minimized.
  4. @garrett521 No, but you are up next. If you look at my last update for the sound option, I've added a nice big "Additional Settings" panel that can be pulled up in preparation for adding some controls to create custom combos of media.
  5. @dsync89 Actually, never mind. The option isn't working correctly when multiple screens have it set differently. I'll need to look into it some more.
  6. @dsync89 I added a per-screen mute option to v5.0.0. To get to the option go to Tools->ThirdScreen Settings, select the screen you want to unmute, and click "Additional Settings".
  7. The plugin doesn't overwrite any Launchbox files. All of the files in the release are unique to thirdscreen. So to uninstall just download and unzip the latest release to get the file list and then delete all of those files from your Launchbox folder.
  8. Ok, thanks. Does blinky not work consistently if you try the shortcut a few times? I've noticed that in general blinky just sometimes decides not to work when a game is launched. Also, does blinky work when you use the game shortcut with LaunchBox open instead of BigBox?
  9. @TapeWorm Sure, if you want to skip navigating to the game menu before the game is launched then grab the latest version and replace the "launch" command with "launch_without_menu". One thing to keep in mind though, if you have a marquee and are using BigBox's default marquee support, then the marquee will not update correctly when you skip navigating to the game menu. You would have to switch to using the ThirdScreen plugin for the marquee to work correctly with this command.
  10. @Undertherainbow Thanks for the suggestion. You are correct that currently it will display one or the other and not overlay them. When I have time I'll look into it and see if it's something I want to add. The hardest part with adding options like this is usually how to keep the user interface simple (not so much the implementation).
  11. @shrek6446 Thanks for pointing this out. I uploaded a new version (v4.0.0) which should fix the issue.
  12. @shrek6446 Glad to hear it's working for you. For the playlist shortcut that isn't working, can you provide the following: 1. Please post the log file located at LaunchBox/Logs/StreamDeckGameLauncher.txt 2. What is the full command line you are using? 3. Open LaunchBox. right click on the playlist, choose edit, and send a screen shot of the Edit Playlist window.
  13. Even with ThirdScreen, the primary display setting in Options > General is still what controls which screen BigBox will open on, and neither ThirdScreen nor BigBox control which screen emulators and games load on. Try it with ThirdScreen disabled and see if you are still having the same issue.
  14. Version 1.0.0

    Kids Favorites playlist media including animated video marquee, theme video, clear logo, and pointer. The animated marquee happens to be in gif format, so it should be added as an "Arcade - Marquee" Image in LaunchBox. It will animate if you are using the ThirdScreen plugin. Otherwise you'll need to modify your theme files to support animated gifs. IMG_6428.MOV

  18. You could always write a simple plugin instead of a script. There is a method to add custom fields for a game which might be easier/safer than trying to directly edit your XML data files.
  19. CustomField elements get added to Data/Platforms/<platform_name>.xml
  20. From what I saw when writing the plugin, LB treats multiple images in rom name format the same as multiple images in game name format for the most part. For example, any mix of <game_name>-[0-9]+ and <rom_name>-[0-9]+ works fine.
  21. As far as I know it just makes searches for files slower. It's not something I'm concerned about on my arcade and the search index service was definitely what was causing the issue for me when trying to launch BigBox as soon as the OS booted.
  22. Try disabling the Windows Search Indexer. That worked for me when I recently started seeing this issue. It hasn't happened since.
