If those would typically be the only file in the archive, then we should already be covered. Do they need to be prioritized over other files?

Awesome @Kevin_Flynn, very much appreciated. The new audit tool will come in very handy for most users, but may not be a perfect solution for hardcore enthusiasts, so I would say this is definitely worthwhile. Thanks a ton for your work here.

Lol! I was 8 characters! Come on!!!!

Woot! Great to hear @jadekitten.

Also, going forward I'll be focusing on the bugs here for a while, starting tomorrow. I'd like to put out official releases more often from here forward, so we're going to put 7.5 out once everything is stable with the auditing and such.

Alright, as some of you guys have noticed, I put out a new beta. The Audit feature should be pretty close to where it will be for the next official release. Please give it a shot guys and let me know what you think. I've added all the media items to it, added proper support for MAME, and a bunch of other stuff, like duplicates and deleting games via right-click. The one caveat here is that for simplicity's sake (both development-wise and usability-wise), we've decided *not* to compare to full sets for this release. This means that you won't be able to identify games that you're missing, but to be honest, most people should just have a full set to begin with anyways so I don't see that as a very important feature, and it would cause some massive confusion for most people. Still, it's super easy to identify and remove prototypes, duplicate games, etc. Eventually we will be working some of it into the import processes as well, but probably not for the next official release. Also, apparently VLC was using the system's VLC settings in some cases, despite us using the "--ignore-config" command line option, which doesn't make much sense, but apparently it was. I've added two more command line options for the VLC playback: --config=VLC.cfg - Should hopefully prevent the default system settings from being used? --postproc-q=0 - Forces post processing to be off, which was identified by @cammelspit to increase performance @cammelspit also noticed that DXVA increased performance, but per our research unfortunately we can't set that everywhere because it doesn't work on some systems. Let me know guys if this addresses the issues with installed versions of VLC, and if it helps performance in Big Box at all. Thanks all!

Aha! You may have just figured out that weird theme video platform video path issue that I couldn't identify. Woot woot. That should help to get it fixed.

Cool, will look into it @oilertitanfan.

Cool, thanks @stephy. I'll take a look at this as well. Is this in LaunchBox or Big Box? I'll need more details on the image issues; check to make sure that your image folders are correct under Tools > Manage Platforms.

Thanks @CriticalCid and @jadekitten; I'll take a look at this (the Steam games image priorities issue). Or @orkoapprentice. Lol. My eyes somehow thought that was written by you @jadekitten. I'm going blind.

Please try the latest beta. I've told VLC specifically to never use the local settings, but it seems to be ignoring it in some cases. Let me know if the latest beta fixes it though.

By "stop functioning" do you mean they keep playing? And you're saying the issue is specific to Demul?

Can you explain what exactly the bugs are here? I'm having trouble following.

Good point @imdavid555. It is supposed to show the logos for the Scrape As value, assuming one doesn't exist for the actual platform name. That is a good point though that I hadn't thought about. I'll look into it.

@shro2016 Good find; it looks like perhaps I broke this in a recent version. I'll get it fixed shortly. Sorry for the trouble there.

Hi @Dan, unfortunately weird stuff like that is extremely hard to troubleshoot without having the device on hand. Really, all game controllers should be showing up in LaunchBox and Big Box, so I'm not sure why it wouldn't be. Have you tried "Use All Controllers" to see if it works that way?

Hi @MerlinArcade, I just responded to your PM. There is a new Big Box theme available on the forums for vertical monitors, though it is new so you'd be treading some new ground there. Also, LaunchBox is what's called "portable" so literally everything is kept inside the LaunchBox folder to make it easily move around (unless of course you use emulators and ROMs outside of the LaunchBox folder.

Awesome, I'll look forward to it. Thanks @shro2016.

The images should be showing only for the game with that same ID. Images without the IDs may show up for all of the games that match that title, but only when an ID'd image doesn't exist.

Thank you @jaythompson.

Gotcha, that makes sense. I'd appreciate if you could create a ticket for that via Issues/Requests in the header if there isn't one already. Thanks!

Hi @shro2016, that theme does indeed look awesome! You've certainly got me excited. Per #1, the game totals and index are unfortunately not available from the game views, though the platform views do display the total number of games for that platform. I've added it to my list but unfortunately it may be a bit before I can get to it. Per #2, I assume you mean the single game page where you select all the items on a single game. That actually uses the TextGamesView as the root view.

Thank you @Wattoo! Updated for the next beta.

Hi guys, I will take a look at this soon. Ultimately it's not @Hexxxer's fault, because even though it only seems to happen with this theme, it shouldn't be happening to begin with. Sorry for the trouble; hopefully I can figure out a fix here soon.

Just to update you guys, @eXo is currently waiting on me to implement some stuff so he can officially move everything to LaunchBox. I am going to prioritize that stuff very soon.
