Nope! Thank you @Wattoo. Putting these in a beta now.

Thank you @kmoney. Do you happen to know if you were using background videos when you got the doubling audio? Do you happen to know what view's audio was still playing in the background when it happened (and maybe what view you were on)? Thanks again.

And another new beta is out. @martinconroy I've made some tweaks in this beta that I'm hoping *might* fix your issue. I noticed some conflicts between UK English and US English when initializing the recognition so I'm hoping that this will finally fix the issue. The UK English voices should now show up in the list as well. Let me know how this one fares. Note that it's normal for loading times to be increased (in some cases significantly) when voice recognition is enabled; I plan to do more optimizations for it at some point in the future. @kmoney I've put in some additional safety checks to hopefully prevent any more cases of VLC overplaying audio. Any testing you can do before the release tomorrow would be much appreciated. Thank you very, very much for your continued VLC testing in fixing all of these issues. It really helps. @kyoken I just saw this so unfortunately I didn't check on it for this beta. Hopefully I can look into it before the release tomorrow. Thanks all!

Good to hear, @ckp. It might be a while.

Sounds good. Thanks @Zombeaver.

Hi @Zaazu, indeed. Just reimport your ROM files and any existing games will be ignored and not reimported. We do have a better solution for this coming.

Hi Freaky, yes we do plan on adding that stuff eventually. In all honestly it's not exactly high priority, but it's definitely on our list.

Not currently, @ckp. We do have plans to fix that issue, though.

Hi @sfn103, sounds good. I have several translations packages to create so I'll get them created shortly after the 6.9 release. Just put out a new beta with all the translation updates. Thanks guys. Still plan on putting out the official 6.9 release tomorrow.

Thank you guys. New beta is out that fixes the following: - Fixed: Custom theme errors in Big Box were not properly reverting back to the default theme - Fixed: Using folder names for imports with a period in the folder name was causing naming issues - Fixed: Viewing videos fullscreen in Big Box was always using the Windows Media Player engine even if VLC was selected - Fixed: The System and Options views in Big Box were not properly refreshing after changing themes - Fixed: Several issues with the LaunchBox zip package exporter were introduced in recent versions @kmoney and @martinconroy, I'm off to take a look at those issues next.

Sure; that will be hard to follow. It's possible that maybe LaunchBox needed to be restarted or something weird like that. I haven't done a lot of testing in scenarios where files are being renamed while LaunchBox is open.

Thank you GG; that is a good idea. Can you add a ticket for it using Issues/Requests in the header? Thanks!

Perhaps those ROMs are already included in Arcade, @djweevil? What happens if you check the box to force importing duplicates?

@audunv So sorry for the delays on those translation packages. I moved it back up to the top of my shortlist. I'll plan to get you those shortly after the 6.9 release, which should be out tomorrow. If it slips again, hit me over the head. Really sorry for the delays; I got a lot of stuff going on and sometimes I lose track. Thanks @AFaustini, @Wattoo, and @Opaklopper. I'll have a new beta with the translation updates out later today. Planning to put the official release out tomorrow.

Odd. Other than maybe an image refresh issue, that's not making a lot of sense. I assume you made sure that you refreshed the image manually after making the changes?

Thanks Retro. The scrolling should be scrolling endlessly; I'll take a look to see if I have a bug there. By the way, this isn't Visual Basic; it's a XAML markup for WPF. Visual Basic is a separate thing entirely, and LaunchBox/Big Box are coded in C#, which is also part of .NET, but it isn't Visual Basic. Doesn't matter much but I thought I'd clarify.

Thank you @Diverdown! Unfortunately there are no options currently for play once or mute for the videos; however, I agree that we need those features. We have current plans for separate volume controls for videos, sound effects, music, etc., so that should be coming soon. The play once thing is a new one to me; can you add a ticket for that using Issues/Requests in the header? Thanks!

Depending on the emulator, AutoHotkey may not work to send key presses. MAME is notorious for being a royal pain in this regard. MAME refuses to accept any "virtual" keypresses, and only takes input from physical keyboards. That's been pretty frustrating for us because it makes it very difficult to automate closing MAME (using voice recognition or controller automation). You're on the right track with the AutoHotkey stuff, but it's also worth noting that AutoHotkey sometimes has issues with Microsoft's latest 360/Xbox One controller drivers and sometimes it just won't work at all. We had to replace the controller automation solution using AutoHotkey with our own because of this issue. There's no way currently to use controller automation for just a single button, but you could add a ticket for that using Issues/Requests in the header.

Thanks @Zombeaver. The partial name matching is provided only as a failsafe for people using their existing collections from other frontends. Thus, the -01 extensions aren't expected in that scenario.

LaunchBox should be finding games by titles with no issues. The -01 suffix should never be required in order for the image to be picked up. If a particular image is not being picked up, then we have a glitch and I'll need a specific example in order to research it. The only time the -01 stuff comes into play is when saving *new* images.

There is an option in the wizard to force using MAME metadata, which is what you need to solve those issues @chito. @DOS76, agreed. Perhaps we should just add MAME to the list and make it behave like Arcade.

We do also have plans to add those missing toggles to Big Box as well.

Hi @master333, both of these features are indeed planned and we do have tickets for them. If you click the Issues/Requests link in the header and then search for the tickets, you can find and vote on the tickets.

Thanks @Fuscan; I'll look into this.

@sfn103 No worries, not really looking for an apology and was not trying to treat you badly.
