    More information about "ThirdScreen Plugin for Platform Video Marquees, 3+ Screen Support, and more"

    Posted

    @superrob3000 Appreciate the quick turn around on a fix!

    This one does fix the problem! I've seen 1 strange side effect, where when I close House of the Dead Scarlet Dawn, it backs all the way out to the main view where I brose all my platforms and playlists, like the back button was being pressed twice.
    This didn't happen with the previous version, but honestly it's not that big of a deal. Can you think of why that might happen? If not I am content with the issue since it's very small. (It might be a side effect of my AHK for that game, since I use the Back button (bound to escape in the AHK) to kill processes as well as being my Exit Game hotkey in BB.)

    Another suggestion would be to label your zip files with the version number. It will be hard to know if I have latest if I have to install it and run it just to check.

    Thanks again!

    Installed this and tested it a bunch today. Really nice! I was especially thrilled that it solved my Teknoparrot problem - now all my marquees seem to work! Before, almost none of them would show (while every other emulator worked fine)

    However, there is an issue that maybe makes it not usable for me.

    Whenever I close Teknoparrot games, BigBox doesn't regain focus. I'm not sure what is getting focus, but no other windows are open.  (by "doesn't regain focus" I mean specifically the videos don't play and I don't have control. Alt+Tab and selecting the BigBox application refocuses and I'm good to go)

    I've done tests with every TP game and it has this issue. I've also turned off ThirdScreen and it fixes it. So, I can only assume that ThirdScreen is getting focus when I leave TP games, and not BigBox.
    The issue doesn't happen on MAME games. ThirdScreen works great and BigBox regains focus when I exit.
    I've also rebooted my PC and let everything start up fresh again.

    I have a very simple set up. 2 monitors total, and I didn't change any of the default settings on ThirdScreen.
    Some apps are running in the background (making the cab work as intended) like the Sinden app, etc. Again, none of the windows are open.

    Hope you can help! LMK if there's anything I can do to help you repro.
