@Jason Carr Just did as you requested even went into task manager to make sure Visual Studio was fully closed still same error.

@Vlansix Your welcome and you LaunchBox Cursor Changer v2 works brilliantly as well. On another note welcome to the LaunchBox Team i know you'll do great things as shows in the 2 app you already created KUDOS.

@Jason Carr Newest Beta Update am getting a Cannot create an instance of coverflow in all themes, Default theme in Visual Studio with latest update see screenshot, this will show up the muinute you click on the xaml code. see screenshots:

@CriticalCid Thank you very much it is very much appreciated a BIG BIG KUDOS TO YOU! I just replaced in my theme <transitions:TransitionPresenter TransitionSelector="{Binding BackgroundTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding BackgroundView}" Height="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualHeight}" Width="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualWidth}" IsContentVideo="true" /> With your code <Grid> <MediaElement Name="BackgroundVideo" Height="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualHeight}" Width="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualWidth}" Stretch="Fill"> <MediaElement.Triggers> <EventTrigger RoutedEvent="MediaElement.Loaded"> <EventTrigger.Actions> <BeginStoryboard> <Storyboard> <MediaTimeline Source="pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Themes/Glass/Videos/BackgroundVideo/Platforms.mp4" Storyboard.TargetName="BackgroundVideo" RepeatBehavior="Forever"/> </Storyboard> </BeginStoryboard> </EventTrigger.Actions> </EventTrigger> </MediaElement.Triggers> </MediaElement> </Grid> And put your background video in my theme video folder loaded up BigBox let it loop through a few times but didn't see any black border showing on the video. Again thank you very much your a gentleman. KUDOS AGAIN EXCELLENT WORK.

@CriticalCid A lovely beautiful theme i must admit, tried it on a 5:4 monitor and it just works. I love how you have shown us all how to add a background looping video. Can we use this code snippet on our own themes if i may be so bold to ask? Once again thank you for showing us something new BIG KUDOS.

@treylasalle Here is a good resource for videos if you dont have emumovies premium https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBWmHwmJ5r4iyg41VYF52rw/playlists all you need is a program like jdownloader to bulk download them.

@DOS76 That is why i said @SentaiBrad should do a small video on that option, it is not the fact of when you delete a platform aspect i was coming from but the fact that if people inadvertently added games without giving them a platform they then think that the game importer is not working correctly when in fact it is, it is the just that their games are hidden from them but still show up as a blank platform in BigBox.

@Jason Carr The marquee views are now showing up with the latest beta kudos. On an other note the vlc engine is still acting up only in LaunchBox. When you go to a Platform in LaunchBox then click on details in the menubar (top right), then click on a game now go to the details and close it, the video will then keep playing in the background only with the vlc engine, you have to open up the details again and click on video in order for it to stop.

@drtechnolust Just to explain what the None platform is, it is where the roms disappear to when someone has not assigned a Platform to games they import and they suddenly think that they have not installed the games, and if that Box isn't checked they then wonder where their games have disappeared to. It is a brilliant concept and is the first thing i do when i install a game and wonder where it disappeared to, i go into options General, Side Bar and check the box. Then when i go back into LaunchBox i can see roms that i forgot to assign a platform to, and then can assign them to their proper platforms. I think that @SentaiBrad should do a little Video tutorial on this forgotten aspect of LaunchBox for people that might make this mistake when installing individual games.

@drtechnolust It is probably the No Platform that is showing, In LaunchBox on the menubar go to Tools, down to options click on it and under General, Sidebar make sure the Show (None) isn't checked. See screenshot.

I agree That is the best way of doing it as well. On another note @Jason Carr the new views you have added the GameMarqueeView.xaml and the PlatformMarqueeView.xaml are not showing up in VisualStudio see below screenshot

@Vlansix Just want to report back to you that i have have had no problems with with this little gem you created and it is working flawlessly, you by creating this have done what the Demul developers couldn't accomplish thus far, thank you again for creating this.

@Jason Carr Hi Jason just a quick question when the next beta is available for download will the James Baker videos be included with the beta. The reason i ask is that your last video James baker joins the LaunchBox team YouTube, you state they will be available with the beta. Now the question is, if that is so, will there be an option not to download the videos? My reason for this is that i have all videos for my platforms that i want and would rather not download them with the beta as sometimes it can take in excess of 10 to 15 minutes for the betas to download here in Ireland and would rather have the option to download directly from the site if i wanted them. No disrespect is meant or applied to the creators of Platform Videos as i think they all do a fantastic job and their work is of a high calibre, but i would rather they not be part of LaunchBox software download for the reason i stated slow download speeds.

@matebox When you update to the nightlies do you update the cores as well through Retroarch as there could be changes to the individual cores, in this case the mgba core, also when you update to the nightlies do you do a full overwrite of Retroarch with the package you downloaded, if you do this could lead to cores being broken by updating the retroarch cfg. The only thing you should update and overwrite in Retroarch from the downloaded nightly package is the Filters folder, as well as the retroarch.exe and the retroarch_debug.exe.

@DOS76 Check your mail here for a list

@Vlansix Sorry for hijacking your thread

@DOS76 Figured how to get Demul 5.8.2 to close for Gaelco games change LaunchBox's auto-hotkey script with this $Esc:: { Process, Close, demul.exe } When you press escape now for Gaelco games it will close it down

@Vlansix You should add these little gems of programs to the download section third party apps and plugins as they are really great programs for the end user and work really fantastic.

@Vlansix You are right it was my fault i had it to Automatically run after Main application and it wasn't closing its background task, but after reading your post i decided to try automatically Run Before Main Application and it Does indeed close down it task process so it was user error (me) apologies it is working as you intended so no need for you to create a hikaru exit key-mapper your little program is working great, apologies again

@Vlansix Sorry if i didn't word my post on closing hikaru right, what i meant is that your little program closes its background process when we click on the escape key as demul for hikaru closes its background process when we click on the escape key, i hope this explains it better and thank you for the marvellous programs that you created it is really well appreciated by me and i know will be appreciated by other members as well.

@Vlansix sounds really cool no hurry and thank you once again.

@DOS76 For Gaelco games i use mame except for smashing drive and atvtrack which need the gpudx10 and Demul version 5.8.2 which opens the games in fullscreen but has a weird way of exiting games having to alt+enter first to pause game then the escape key to close the games.

@Vlansix definately interested as well especially if it accepts controller input
