Bumping to see if anyone has run into this - problem still persists.

Having weird issues with videos in BigBox. Am on the current 13.22 beta, but was noticing this issue beforehand, as well. I'm using Windows Media Player for the video player per the current guidance. For a bit of context - my computer has a LG monitor and a Sony X77L television directly hooked up to it. I have a RTX 3070 for my graphics card. BigBox is set to open on the Sony TV. All videos played on my TV have a corrupted, black-screen effect for the first second or two. The sound plays, but the video image is glitching at the beginning. I've attached a short recording of what it looks like: 2025-06-01 17-34-30.mp4 This effect happens on all MP4 videos: the Colorful platform sets, emumovies video clips, etc. Weirdly, this effect only happens on the TV - if I move BigBox over to my monitor, everything is normal, with no annoying black / artifacting effects. And - webm files don't seem to have this issue and play fine. When I convert an MP4 to a webm, it plays fine on the TV through WMP. Whenever I play videos independently on WMP legacy player on the TV, sans BigBox, the same black screen effect happens for a second or two. On the monitor - all fine. Further, using VLC as the media player on the TV works just fine, regardless of the video format. Same with the modern media player that is included with Windows 11. The issues only seem to arise when playing MP4 videos - on my TV - using Windows Media Player legacy. It looks like this is an issue with WMP, not BigBox, or it's an issue with some sort of weird interplay between WMP legacy and my Sony TV. Maybe something to do with my graphics card? I'm not sure why videos are working fine on one screen but not the other. Am I missing some codec that covers this scenario? I've installed the mega version of the K-lite codec pack. Nvidia drivers are up to date. Attempts to find solutions on the internet have not turned up anything. Switching to VLC in BigBox for the video player solves this issue on my TV, but that introduces the stability problems warned about after a few minutes, and BB inevitably freezes up. Has anyone else had this issue? Unfortunately, this is rendering BigBox pretty much unusable for me, as it's set up to be used on my television. I've been trying to track down the issue here for the better part of a week. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! Was able to replicate this to an extent - switching to Images View fixes the error popup and LB works normally. But switching back to List View shorts everything out again - the popups return, and the game details do not show up. So maybe a problem with the list view specifically. I'm still having the same issues upon relaunch, but I probably haven't restarted as much as you. (Also, running Windows 11, if that's helpful.) Overlooked to include the entire error message as you pointed out - entire error listed below:

New beta seems to have completely borked LB for me. Getting several error popups right as LB starts up with the new beta. (Inner Exception) The DisplayIndex for the DataGridColumn with Header 'System.Windows.Controls.Border' is out of range. DisplayIndex must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than Columns.Count. (Parameter 'displayIndex') Actual value was 35. And: (Outer Exception) Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. Once I close all the error popups, LB starts - but it's broken no matter what theme I choose. Game details view is completely blank on the Omni theme. BigDetails: I cannot get the images view to work. Default: images view does not work, and no images / videos appear in the GameDetails view. Happy to provide more detail if necessary.

More Colorful Collections View File 142 playlist videos inspired by @Pichirili's Colorful Collection Videos, themselves based off the Colorful theme by @viking. The screenshots attached show off only a small sample of the collection. These were made for my personal collection on and off over the past few months. As such, the quality is somewhat variable, depending on the quality of the assets I could find online. Some look great, others ... well, they get the job done. Likewise, file sizes and video lengths are all over the place. For some of the bigger files, you may want to use Handbrake or a similar program to get the size down (or just cut down the length of the video). I use these in conjunction with the Coverbox theme. I do plan on going back and upgrading some of Pichirlli's previous videos with some higher quality assets, as time allows, and will probably add a few more new videos. But largely I've hit all the franchises I want to feature.
