Am haveing the same issue also seems to be linked to the video doesnt matter what engine is used Bigbox when startup videos are allowed somewtimes remains black no video playing just a black screen, the when it eventully opens up the first platform it starts on the video refuses to start staying grey, move to the next platform viseo plays, move back the first video that refused to play then plays. Even this happens on a new build of Launchbox with startup video disabled first platform opens up with video grayed out not playing go to next platform video plays, go back to platform then video plays seems the video engines are not kicking in when Bigbox first launched. Latest update 14.1

Jusy 1 slight issue iv seen so far in 14.1 that is when useing wmp useing 1280x720 videos the video has black lines to the left and right of video, but if you use the vlc those black bars are more noticible, yet if you use a 1920x1080 video there are no black bars. Loveing the recent update. This is in the game details on Launchbox

@JoeViking245 as usual thanks

By the way this link doesnt work https://www.launchbox-app.com/celebration/ all i get is the below pic i use the brave browser.

Here is a labour of love i have been working on and off with over the last few years sadly its not fully finished due to health reasons, I call it Concade (short for Consoles and Arcades) with this theme i try to bring every platform true to the actual arcade as possible where deemable. All artwork and theme construction in it was all created by me, hopefully later down the road i will be able to upload a fully completed theme. What pics below are just part of the arcade section hopefully i will be able to upload consoles etc later. To me this shows the true strength of Launch Bigbox being able to create individual themes per platform and have it all come together in a beautiful stunning showcase of an immersive gameing experiance. list in order Atari Classics, Examu Ex-Board, Irem Classics, Midway Classics, Konami E-Amusement, Namco Classics, NESiCAxLive, Raw Thrills, Sega Lindbergh(arcade doors open and close on each game select), Sega RingEdge, Sega RingEdge 2, Sega RingWide, SNK Classics, Taito Type X, Taito Type X2, Taito Type X3, Williams Classics.

Since the new Reader Launchbox 14 this is a revised use of the hybrid theme i am useing for comics and movies i find it wonderful especially when one gets older and not as good vision.

The first replies you get when you type in those dll,s are Yes, windowscodecs.dll is primarily used for video and image processing in Windows. It serves as the Microsoft Windows Codecs Library, providing the underlying components that allow applications to encode and decode various media formats. Key functions include: Video Decoding/Encoding: It supports compression and decompression of video data, enabling playback in media players. Image Processing: It also handles image codec tasks, such as rendering thumbnails and processing image formats. System Integration: It is a core Windows system file located in C:\Windows\System32 and is required for proper media playback functionality. Errors related to this file (e.g., "not designed to run on Windows") often indicate corruption or a mismatch between the installed codec components and the operating system architecture (32-bit vs. 64-bit) coreclr.dll is a fundamental Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file developed by Microsoft Corporation that serves as the core runtime engine for .NET Core and .NET applications. It is responsible for executing .NET code by managing just-in-time (JIT) compilation, garbage collection, and memory management, and it is commonly found in paths such as C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App\. The file is also associated with legacy software like Microsoft Silverlight and is part of the open-source CoreCLR project hosted on GitHub. Errors related to this DLL, such as "file not found" or "access violation," typically stem from corrupted installations, version mismatches, or conflicts with third-party add-ins in applications like Autodesk Inventor or Final Fantasy XIV. To resolve common issues, users are advised to reinstall or update the .NET runtime via official Microsoft channels, update the affected application, or perform a Windows Update. While third-party sites offer standalone DLL downloads, Microsoft does not officially distribute coreclr.dll as a standalone file, and replacing it manually is generally discouraged in favor of reinstalling the associated software or runtime environment

Your second image states that the faulting module is windows codec.dll problem, Try reinstalling your codecs maybe you have a problem with them, i myself havent installed any codec packs not even the media one that come with Launchbox as i have Daum Potplayer installed and have only installed the codecs that came with that and never have any video problems

I have just tried a few games in Arcade Classics Atari Classics and Cps2 and used the esc key to quit the games in both Bigbox and LaunchBox and thus far have had no crashes, maybe its because i no longer use any betas and only do full updates any more, try reinstalling the last update and see if that helps, and make sure your Visual C++ Redistributable Runtimes All-in-One are up to date and your net frameworks are all up to date, also i am useing windiws 10 not the microslop windows 11 on my gameing pc.

You wont get it to work as that theme does not have the required wall4gamesview xaml.

What it means is that if the view xamls are not in the theme folder then Bigbox cannot use that, and what you are hearing in the background is probaly a view from the default theme. You will have to use one of the views in Bigbox that is in the theme folder, as Bigbox can only show xaml views in the view folder that come with the specific theme you are useing.

I just checked the views in the CriticalZone v2 default theme folder and there is no Wall View 4 xaml in that folder so you must have a modified version of that theme installed?

New Reader as an emulator works great with .cbz and .cbr

@JoeViking245Thank you for that works perfect again many thanks

Hi Joe and thank you i have added as a command line --fullscreen so it opens fullscreen, if there are any command lines for this that would make margin none and fitwidth etc (ie for all the settings) i tried adding these to command line but the reader fails to open and will only work with the fullscreen command, and if not i hope @Jason Carr will empliment these command lines. again thanks.

Introducing LaunchBox Reader, a built in way to read game manuals, guides, magazines, and other documents directly inside LaunchBox and Big Box, with realistic page turns, customizable reading layouts, appearance settings, and keyboard/controller input mappings Say we have a platform for game magazines a general magazine that covers game history etc , or just for comics in their own Platform, how can we make Launchbox/Bigbox make this the default reader for such things, do we add the reader as an Emulator, or is there some otherway of doing this so that when we click on that magizine in its own platform and it will automatically launch??? Instead of haveing to go look for link to launch it, if this is not the case is this envisaged for a future update. KUDOS on this addition of a Reader a highly sought after addition.

Im not sure as i no longer install betas haveing been burned by them corupting platform view xamls and their backups on occasion and now only install full updates. But if it means we can launch another instance of a seperate install Launchbox/Bigbox exe then yes that is brilliant, as i use a different install on a different drive of Launchbox for my movies.
