Dealing with a persistent bug on beta 3 and 4 where FFMPEG will freeze my entire ui on game details view textgamesview after the video for that game reaches the end and attempts to loop. This issue does not exist when switching to Windows Media Player. The freeze after several minutes seems to resolve itself and throws an exception error: App: Big Box Version: 13.27-beta-4 Theme: My theme Type: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception Site: Void UpdateWindowSettings(Boolean, System.Nullable`1[System.Windows.Media.Composition.DUCE+ChannelSet]) Source: PresentationCore at System.Windows.Interop.HwndTarget.UpdateWindowSettings(Boolean enableRenderTarget, Nullable`1 channelSet) at System.Windows.Interop.HwndTarget.UpdateWindowPos(IntPtr lParam) at System.Windows.Interop.HwndTarget.HandleMessage(WindowMessage msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) at System.Windows.Interop.HwndSource.HwndTargetFilterMessage(IntPtr hwnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam, Boolean& handled) at System.Windows.Threading.ExceptionWrapper.InternalRealCall(Delegate callback, Object args, Int32 numArgs) at System.Windows.Threading.ExceptionWrapper.TryCatchWhen(Object source, Delegate callback, Object args, Int32 numArgs, Delegate catchHandler) Recent Log: 4:52:21 PM Exception ALSO, heres my log after I navigated to TextGamesView and waited for the video to stop playing: 2026-05-04T16:46:58.3200305-04:00 New Navigation Manager stack: PlatformWheel3FiltersViewModel > TextGamesViewModel 2026-05-04T16:46:58.3213845-04:00 Music.Kill Start 2026-05-04T16:46:58.3215409-04:00 Music.Kill Finished 2026-05-04T16:46:59.4471324-04:00 Music.StopAndResumeBackground Start 2026-05-04T16:46:59.4803939-04:00 Music.StopAndResumeBackground Start 2026-05-04T16:46:59.6518924-04:00 [FFME Log]: Direct Command 'Close' not accepted.

I completely agree, being able to boot directly into bigbox with the performance save here would be a dream

Seconding that i'd love to see his updated. Seems really cool!

Also wanted to report I'm having a hard time getting this to work. May be an incompatibility with the newer updates? Edit: Was able to get it working by downloading the newest update to the file listed above from Github.
