Not sure I understand about windows forcing 1280x720 on a 1280x390 screen. But in general the marquees will look best if you create them to match the resolution you have set in Windows display settings. And if they don't match you can always turn on the stretch option.

@drady If you're having that issue, go to tools->Third screen settings. Then click the gear icon in upper right and select "Ignore resolution changes".

@drady, @magicray1028, and anyone else that ran into DPI scaling issues. Please give v2.0.14 a try.

Thanks for confirming. I'm tagging everyone I know of that ran into this issue: @TekkamanBlade @vinnythecruel @HellraiserGN @artiss Starting with version 2.0.13 you can now use the plugin without having to disable any pen&tablet drivers, Wacom, or Parsec.

@d8thstar Thanks for the log file. It shows you are still getting the windows pen driver issue. Good news though, I think I may have fixed it with version 2.0.13 of the plugin. Please give it a try and let me know.
-
Yes, the entire MediaInfo folder as-is gets copied into ThirdParty. The easiest way to do it is to unzip the file and then just copy everything (which will be two folders: Plugins and ThirdParty) into your LaunchBox folder. Click yes if it asks you to overwrite anything.
-
That all sounds correct. Have a look at your launchbox debug log file. If it mentions Penimc then that's definitely the issue. Wacom is just one thing that might install the pen driver. Have a look in device manager for any tablet/touchscreen/pen related devices.
-
Unfortunately it might (but give it a try since i'm not 100% sure). I really have no idea why the plugin would conflict with the windows pen driver, but it's on my list of things to figure out.
-
Glad to hear it's working. Rotating through different media types is a good idea. I'll consider adding it if I have time.
-
@mrbrightside80 Could you do me a favor and try replacing ThirdScreen.dll with the attached version and let me know if it makes a difference? ThirdScreen.dll -
@artiss From your log it is definitely the windows pen driver conflict that I mention in the troubleshooting section. Try going to windows->services and see if you have Wacom installed. If it listed there, then right click it and choose properties. Hit the Stop button to stop the service and then also change the startup type to Disabled.

@garrett521 I still want to add it. It's on the list, I just haven't had time yet.

Marquee intro video featuring BiGBox's own 3D Box Model. 1920x540 resolution for marquee displays. You'll need the ThirdScreen plugin to add marquee startup video support. Credit to @Rincewind for the box's front cover art. -

You should try the steps I have listed in the troubleshooting section of the file description.
-
I actually have the rotation slow down a bit when showing the front and back for that reason. Anything more than that you can view the 3d model in the main launchbox window.
-
Sorry @Retrofrogg, I have no plans to add manual rotation. I'm a big fan of having them auto-rotate ☺️.

The issue with gifs not working without running as an admin has been resolved in v2.0.11.

Yes I've tested the plugin with 4k main monitor and main monitor dpi greater than 100% and a similarly sized marquee as yours. First make sure your marquee is disabled in bigbox settings so that the plugin can use it. Then double check the following settings: Disable "Fix scaling for apps->Let Windows try to fix apps so they're not blurry" under "Advanced scaling settings" in Windows Display Settings Make sure all boxes are unchecked in Properties->Compatability->Change High DPI settings when you right click on the launchbox and bigbox executables and any shortcuts to them.
-
Another thing you should check is the setting of "Fix scaling for apps->Let Windows try to fix apps so they're not blurry" under "Advanced scaling settings" in Windows Display Settings. Enabling that is how I finally recreated the incorrect resolution reporting. With that feature disabled and also all boxes unchecked in Properties->Compatability->Change High DPI settings, I'm then able to change resolution and/or DPI scaling for the main monitor without any issues.
-
On your LaunchBox.exe and BigBox.exe (as well as any shortcuts pointing to them), do you have either of the highlighted boxes checked in Compatibility settings?

Even 2.0.9.00 ?
