Except I probably just pissed off Gabe Newell.

Hi orac, if you do create some videos it would be awesome if you could share them with us in the new Downloads section! MP4 formats are usually the best, yes. The general rule of thumb is if it plays in VLC and Windows Media Player, it'll play just fine in LaunchBox and Big Box.

Hey guys, I gotta run away for a few but I wanted to let you guys know that I got Steam trailer video downloads working. Going to try and put out the beta with it tonight.

Hi guys, currently working on a way to change out that animated gif. Should have that soon.

Hi Dreamwarrior, edit your games and check to see if there is a video listed in the Other tab. Video playback is a premium feature, though; not sure if you're premium. You also have to enable viewing the videos in the LaunchBox game details sidebar in the game details options.

Hi Dreamwarrior, I know this is somewhat confusing, but the "default" emulator is not necessarily the emulator that is used for your games. The default emulator really only applies to when you're adding new games. If you change the default emulator, your games will still have the old emulator assigned to them. So yes, the bulk edit wizard is the way to change the emulator for a group of games. I believe we have a feature request ticket that would prompt you to update your games when you change the default emulator, though, to remove this confusion. Thanks!

I don't understand why but I've had a ton of issues with the latest versions of Retroarch too. Performance issues, crashes, and everything else. My best recommendation would be to go back to a previous version if the latest versions aren't working. In my case, I had to go pretty far back in order to fix some of the issues I was seeing, something like 1.2.2 I think.

Sadly we need to only allow uploads to the downloads section from the original author of the media, or at least with permissions from the original author. We can't have people angry with us over stolen media, so as much as I'd like to make it all open, we need to make sure we have permissions before media is uploaded.

Makes sense Dreamwarrior. To be honest the uninstaller is mostly pointless because LaunchBox doesn't touch anything outside of its own folder anyways. But I see what you're getting at.

Hi @flavad99, I'm trying to get that error fixed but unfortunately I haven't been able to replicate it. Are you still seeing it? What view are you seeing it with and when does it happen?

Yeah, there's a lot of sad things going on in the US lately (not to hate on the US, sad things happen everywhere). Agreed.

Sure, I can understand that. There is certainly a difference between looking out for safety (trying to predict if someone is going to be a problem) and judging people. It's definitely possible for us to love someone while at the same time doing our best to assess whether they're dangerous and protecting ourselves. Knowing you, Clive, I've definitely seen your character as one of empathy and love; I don't think I've ever seen you judge anyone before.

Hi Cid, I just added two new properties to the filters view models: Notes and Details. So you should be able to add text blocks like this: <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Notes}" /> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Details}" /> This will be out in a beta later today. Let me know if it's not working after the beta is out.

Thanks, Clive. We are definitely predisposed to judgement, but I choose to take an approach that disagrees heavily with the majority of the world on this matter. If I were to be truly judged for my past, I would not survive; I've made mistakes that would condemn me to prison or worse. I choose to do my absolute best to replace all judgement in my life with love, rather than to play a hypocrite and judge people for things when I've probably done worse. I appreciate the discussion, though. We are likely to have some very different viewpoints because I base my ideologies on the teachings of Christ rather than the teachings of the world.

Awesome, great to hear.

“Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged. “And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own? How can you think of saying to your friend, ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye. Matthew 7: 1-5 (NLT) Today I'm reminded that judgement sucks. I hate being judged and usually do a good job not judging others, but not always. I pray that I can be humble and refrain from judging anyone for their life situation, their actions, or their words.

Honestly I haven't tried the entire process, but under the Activity tab in the menu at the top there's "My Activity Streams" and you can supposedly create a new one to follow a thread.

There should be a little menu popup that comes up when you click the orange icon. Is that not happening for you?

Hi @Soundtrackgeek, each forum does have an RSS feed but sadly I'm not seeing the option available for each topic. There should be a way to create an "Activity Stream" and then RSS off of that, but that might be a bit more work. The RSS link is available in the bottom right on the forums themselves, at least.

Thanks, Cid. I'll have to see if I can do something about the Moderator colors later. I can't seem to find any settings for it yet.

Great to hear; thank you @kmoney2315.

Lol, I blame these new forums, actually. Yeah, apparently the fix for the CoverFlow views somehow got messed up again. I think it's only happening on the CoverFlow views, but this is on my shortlist (again).
