    Can't thank you enough! Apparently, my wife had built up a tremendous amount of nostalgia for "Hot Dog Bush" over the years! Lol, you really put a ton of laughter in the air here! It seems to work very smoothly and I don't want to tinker with anything at the risk of breaking it. Can I ask if there's any way to do bulk downloads or perhaps drop in the missing game info from an Ultimate install? The sea of blank of entries in LaunchBox has me in challenge mode now! =D

    Thanks again for the quick turn around! Just grabbed it and sitting down to do the installs now!

    That's absolutely awesome! I've looked at version numbers for decades, but have only had a very distant relationship with programming and had no idea that the numbers were classifications of updates. I always just assumed it was to have a wider range of numbers to choose from for branching versions. I've always wanted to get more into it and recently looking at some of the tutorials for building C# plugins has really been tempting me to try and start learning how to use Visual Studio. I've always found it really intimidating though, heh, I usually get to about the library inclusion and function building parts of the curriculum and start feeling overwhelmed.

    Absolutely indebted! Thank you very much and I appreciate the info about the version number. I think that once you had mentioned it and I went to the archived version of the downloads, I just assumed the original download I'd made was 12.1 since the archived version is labeled 12.0. I had no idea though that the version numbers were target number, though I think I remember reading something this evening about not using trailing 0s in release numbers, but that may have been a GitHub tad-bit that flew by me in my frenzied state. 😃 I'll keep an eye out and, again, all my gratitude!

    Came right off their site. I believe that's where I picked up the previous version, too. I attempted to grab a couple other games, and started testing them. Lots of white screens, but I kind of feel like that's some sort of firewall conflict on my behalf. Still trying to figure it out. When I attempted to import a few of the ones that were playing, though, I started getting a key error for server from the config.json in Launcher. I think I had switched it from PHP to Apache at some point, but switching it back didn't seem to help. I believe the only ones I added were from the Adult Swim playlist. I imagine this, amongst other things, is probably some of your frustrations. I'm not terribly prolific at the inner working of programming, but if you ever want someone to bear the burden, I'll be keeping right up on your updates. I'd be more than happy to help try and test out functionality when the new version drop if you think it'll be feasible. Wish I had a bit more understanding of the internal machinations of the server.

    Wow, there it is. I'm in a bit of shock right now. lol So, once my drive arrives and I get 12.1 Ultimate, can I ask what type of errors that you anticipated when you mentioned earlier about the latest version's compatibility issues? This one seems to work now and I'm wondering if I should try to locate an archive of a more robust older working version or trying to build out a library through what I have a result with now. Any advice is appreciated and considered heavily! Again, I can't thank you enough, I needed a win tonight!

    Okay, this maybe progress. Failed to parse Flashpiont playlist icon. Invalid value for type.... It's all this Irish luck rubbing off on everyone else's hard work. -smh- Today has been a rollercoaster. Doing backups on all the drives, running into errors there I've never seen before. When it rains, it pours! Fergot to add this: JSON Node Stack: - File: M:/Flashpoint/Data/Playlists/Test - 1697427593874.json - Document - Object - Key: icon Failed to parse Flashpoint playlist icon. Invalid value for type. --- I can see that from the .json that it's a test playlist I created. Deleting it now, will attempt again shortly and return results here! Thank you for the help, I promise, lol, I'll only ask when I'm terrified to touch it or am legitimately confused... Which is often. Success! My sincerest gratitude, friend! Give me a few minutes, though, gotta figure out what to break next.

    Ah, I was using FIL_v0.7.1 Windows Static x64. The Infinite build I downloaded was labeled 12.1, but after reading that it was targeted to 12.0, I went and downloaded that separately (could not even complete a search and installed to an "undesirable" location). If there are versions of FIL, CLIFp and an older available version of Ultimate available at any location that have been known to work together, I'll gladly put in the work to collect and have at least an older stable working version through LaunchBox. Lol, that guy said his girlfriend loved you for it, trying to get some of that affection over here! 😃 Hey, thanks again, anytime you have to bail or get sick of me, please just tell me to cool it. I've been loving every aspect of this front end since I found it and I'm having such a great time collecting and nostalgia tripping on all the games I played growing up. I know I can be eager, sometimes too much, but I certainly do appreciate all the help and I hope to be more active in these forum and the discord so I can help pay it forward someday!

    I also dropped the CLIFp 0.9.6 executable, along with all the other files it came with, in the root directory, as that seems to be where the deploy CLIFp menu option puts the version you're using. Still no luck in any imports. I feel like I maybe missing something, but I'll keep doing some testing and trying to figure out where I went wrong.

    Tried updating the current install, but it didn't resolve the error. I have CLIFp_v.0.9.6 ready to go, can you please inform me where it should be located to resolve the issue? I've also gone ahead and installed 12.0 (dunno how I missed the multiple warning about the targeted version lol) in case I need to pursue that avenue instead. Any help will be greatly appreciated, but I absolutely understand about hectic schedules. Thanks so much for all you've contributed so far!

    Hopefully, no harm in posting this, it's originally from the CityHunter II theme. I'm working my way up to the CTC and using Discord for learning. Just trying to overcome some social phobias. Thanks for responding, I appreciate any help you can give. PlatformWheel1FiltersView.xaml

    Heya, I've been using Big Box to browse comics and I've only just started learning how to tweak themes. I'm wondering, in the current view XAML, there's a reference to NotesCanvas that pulls the game details. If I want to change the text to read Writer/Artist instead of the Developer/Publisher, how would I go about this? I've searched all the XAML files in the theme but there doesn't seem to be labels that I can actively change. Thanks in advance for any direction.

    I've attached a recent copy of the ComicInfo.xml that ComicRack puts into .cbz files when it scrapes from ComicsVine. What I believe would be useful is a Launchbox plug in that will unpack the CBZ, convert the XML (changing field names where necessary) and add it to the playlist .xml data. I might try and work on it this week if I have some free time. ComicInfo.xml

    What's the best method to scrape or import data into LaunchBox? I've been investigating a few options for collecting metadata, including Calibre and ComicRack. Any insight or recent updates on best methods would be greatly appreciated.

    F11 or F key for full screen in LaunchBox would also be greatly appreciated!

    I went on Moby Games and you can pretty easily request an API key. They've provided me with one and I attempted to use the scraper. Besides setting the key in the dll.config, are there any other steps that I need to complete? I unpacked all the files into the plugins directory, but when I attempted to perform a scrape, I received the following error: "Could not load type 'Unbroken.FileHelper' from assembly 'Unbroken, Version=12.13.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'." I did happen to notice that the PublicKeyToken is set in the dll.config to "b77a5c561934e089", but the error is returning null. Any ideas how I can get this to work? Thanks in advance!

    Bump, I would also love to have a configurable shortcut key section. Particularly, at least, update metadata bound to a key combo. Is there a preset shortcut in Big Box to add a currently viewed selection to favorites? I didn't see an option to set a key binding for it, thought it might also be a good suggestion. I think you all are doing an amazing job with this software, by the way. Thank you for all the hard work and constant attention!

    Thank you very very much!!

    I'm trying to do this very thing at the moment. Is there an equivalent for MaxPlayers? I tried it as a custom field, but I'm not getting any reaction. Tried with multiple images, contains instead of equals, still no go...

    This seems like the place for this question. A TeknoParrot game requires elevated permission and I want to use a task schedule link to run the .exe, but what parameter should I use in the .lnk file to pass the romfile from LaunchBox? Thanks in advance.

    Okay, that's probably the issue. It's the temp drive, my C. I appreciate the support, let me free up a bunch more and I'll report back!
  23. Syllius
    Thank you for the quick response! Would 20gb be sufficient? That's the only last step I can think of. I've uninstalled them using the windows app and reinstalled them, each time receiving the same error.

    Most of my installation went smoothly. I'm having trouble with DS and 3DS. Both packs seems to stop around halfway, leaving me with missing bezels for half the games of each. I've tried downloading these packs multiple times over multiple days. I've tried downloading the .zip that was linked, but that file is truncated as well. Are there full sets for the DS and 3DS that I can download? If necessary, I'll write the configurations myself, but I hate having those two sets being incomplete. Also, if anybody knows a place to get PS2 bezels, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

    In this scenario, do we only delete the entries we don't want to keep? I'm confused as to whether the importer will remove the entries we don't want if they're installed. If we need to delete them manually, will it keep the metadata if we delete all? Sorry for the excessive questions, I'm in the same situation and really do not want to have to reinstall this 85k files. lol
