    Thanks all, I will review the rest of the thread in detail later, but I just released 7.1-beta-3 with the following fixes: - Fixed: Imports were sometimes failing at various spots when importing multiple discs - Fixed: VLC-related HostVisual errors - Fixed: Genre changes in batch edit were sometimes not getting saved Doing a bit of back and forth because of the holidays, but I'll be back to the thread shortly.

    Thank you all; I believe I have this stuff all fixed for the next beta. It's uploading now.
  3. Jason Carr
    Woohoo! As long as we get them on EmuMovies proper like the current videos for Arcade, then they'll automatically be available in LaunchBox!

    Curious what happens if you cancel it and start it over.
  5. Jason Carr
    No, it's not a load issue; just checked the server. The new server is way overpowered and no resources are even getting close to exhausted. Where are you @Pacman56?
  6. Jason Carr
    Yup. There doesn't seem to be much we can do about it. It seems to happen no matter what if the server is hosted in the US. We've tried two different hosts now in different spots in the US. All I can figure is it's the pipeline.

    How are download speeds for everybody else? Where are you located @neil9000? I just tested and of course it's fast for me but it seems it always is.
  8. Jason Carr
    Ah, sorry @spycat. I probably still have it waiting for me there.
  9. Jason Carr
    Thank you @Hexxxer. Yeah, we've run into the green bar with the Steam trailer videos. It seems to be a rare issue that happens only with certain odd encodings, but it is indeed an issue.

    Haven't looked/searched, so I'm not sure if there's a ticket yet. Haven't yet done any research on algorithms, either, so I'm not sure as to best approaches at this point.

    Happy birthday too @neil9000. @billyc999 I'm 32 and balding already, so you got me beat.
  12. Jason Carr
    Yup, planning to stream tomorrow fixing more bugs. Next week is up in the air though.

    Alright, another new beta is out with hopeful fixes for a couple of issues. @kmoney I'm hoping this fixes the stack trace you posted on the previous page. @ckp I still couldn't replicate it, but I added code to pause the video *before* starting the 7-zip process, so if we're lucky, that will fix it. Let me know guys (though I know @kmoney's stack trace was probably rare to begin with).
  14. Jason Carr
    Thanks for this detailed report, @ckp. Unfortunately I can't seem to replicate it to save my life. Can you list out all the emulators that seem to be causing it? Is it every emulator that unzips files? Also, does it happen every single time or is it random? Has anyone else seen this happen?
  15. Jason Carr
    I think he more meant waiting for the script to finish before launching the emulator, rather than waiting for the emulator to load.
  16. Jason Carr
    Believe it or not, I still can't replicate this @spycat. There must be something elusive that we haven't figured out that's causing it. Would you be willing to zip up your Data folder and send it to me?

    Ah, I see. So I assume that's the CoverFlow control? You should be able to adjust the Spacing property on the control which should help solve the issue. Unfortunately due to the nature of the CoverFlow control, it won't dynamically space things out, so you'll have to manually set the spacing. I don't really have a good solution for making that dynamic based on the aspect ratio of the images, unfortunately. Once we eventually allow different themes per platform, we can probably solve it on a platform-by-platform basis, but sadly right now I don't really have a good solution.

    Alright guys, as I stated above, the first 7.1 beta is out. Here's the changelog so far: - Improvement: Resolved some performance issues with scrolling notes in Big Box - Improvement: Added a new VideoControl for Big Box custom themes (for more flexible use of custom video backgrounds and such) - Improvement: Changed the Documentation.pdf file to reflect the Big Box custom themes changes and additions for 7.0 and 7.1 Per the scrolling notes, we discovered that they were causing some major delays when long notes were displayed in Big Box. It was the dynamic width calculations that were automatically being done by the XAML that were causing the delays. The solution isn't perfect because we're basically using a percentage width of the screen now instead of a proper dynamic calculation, so let me know if anyone is seeing incorrect widths for scrolling notes. The new VideoControl element was built for themes that currently use a MediaElement (such as @CriticalCid's CriticalZone theme to display the background video). The new control will properly switch between VLC and WMP per the user's settings which should result in some performance improvements since only one engine is used instead of two (at least when using VLC). Performance is better even on my souped up machine, so that's a win. However, theme creators will need to update their themes to use this new element; it won't happen automatically. The new element will also not be available in any previous versions, so it will require the beta. However, we hope to put out the official 7.1 version very soon. Documentation on the new VideoControl is available in the updated Documentation.pdf file.

    @Rod, ah, that makes sense. I'm not sure if there's any good way to do that without the DLL integration that we had to get rid of. We're restricted to only calling the EXE due to the GPL licensing so honestly I'm afraid that might not be possible. We can always tell when the AutoHotkey.exe file exits, but I'm not sure if there's a way to have the EXE exit as soon as the script is done running. If there is, we'd just have to add an option somewhere to specify whether or not to wait for the script. If not, we're unfortunately out of luck.

    Per the FutureState theme, I can't seem to replicate any issues there either. I did just put out a new beta though that addresses a performance issue with the scrolling notes, so it's worth a shot to see if it's any better. Details to follow.
  21. Jason Carr
    @emko I will be adding something in eventually to better deal with duplicate images, yes. We'll probably use a combination of a few things, including a checksum algorithm of sorts. Per the black screen issue, I'm pretty lost on that one. It doesn't sound like anything I've seen before. Is it just blanking out the screen or are things transitioning to the black screen?
  22. Jason Carr
    Thanks @Opaklopper; no problem. We'll be putting out 7.1 very shortly so good enough timing.
  23. Jason Carr
    You might be right there @Peridot; it probably would help performance. Can you put in a ticket using Issues/Requests in the header?
  24. Jason Carr
    Hi @billyc999, can you screenshot what you mean? The boxes don't ever overlap in the default views (as far as I know), so I'm guessing it's just a XAML issue.
  25. Jason Carr
    Ah, good to know @s0m.
