Tried all your suggestions and the exact same result, only recognizes the games it showed before minus the ones already added through the import wizard.

So I am trying to get my launch-box build finished off and updated with game-play videos and all the extra stuff that makes this program so amazing to show off to people. I have imported around 3000 games across a variety of platforms but I CAN'T IMPORT MORE THAN 5 STEAM GAMES? Every time i go through the import wizard it only picks up a handful of games and misses out over half my collection. I cant import games using the windows games importer either as even when i change the folder for it to look through nothing shows up... I am the admin, my steam profile is public and all games have been verified and can be played through steam. The only thing i can think of is that all my games are on the D:/ drive but i wouldn't think that would cause much of a problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated as i have tried everything but no dice

Would never had thought of that, I'm using the steam add on too. Thanks so much!

I'm going to try tonight after work to downgrade to 15 stable as I suspect there's a broken feature in 15.2, I will report back with my findings

Having a very strange issue right now, I can quite easily download and install the Big Box xbmc script, and i see the icon come up with "add on installed" but kodi just doesn't show it after the install. In programs it's no where to be found and re-installing the add on does nothing. I've tried switching skins and I'm on the most stable 15.2 release, any thoughts?

SUCCSESS! Thank you so much wouldnt have thought to look at kodi. So basically i think what was happening was that i had set Kodi to "KEEP AUDIO DEVICE ALIVE" because i used to output sound to bluetooth speakers. This was sending an inaudible tone on the Xaudio driver. When big box tried to start up it couldnt use the audio driver because kodi was constantly using it, this is what was causing it to crash. So in short, make sure that in the audio settings of kodi you have "KEEP AUDIO DEVICE ALIVE" set to "OFF". I would also like to say that this is by far the best peiece of software i have ever used alongside kodi. Its just brilliant and setting it up is so easy and well thought out. You honestly have done something ive been waiting for, for quite literally 6 years. In closing all that i can add would be: 1) The ability to select music to play when each platform is selected and 2) custom themes, it looks amazing as it is but im sure the community can throw some extra eye candy on this brillaint set up. Thank you EDIT: Is it possible currently to play specific videos upon selecting a platform (i.e the bios screen video)

Im away to try and update direct x, im now managing to launch big box itself after changing the graphics adapter settings. The problem to me seems to be related to kodi. As when kodi is active, i cant run big box. here is the other error message System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> SharpDX.SharpDXException: HRESULT: [0x8889000A], Module: [Unknown], ApiCode: [Unknown/Unknown], Message: Unknown at SharpDX.Result.CheckError() at SharpDX.XAudio2.XAudio2.CreateMasteringVoice(MasteringVoice masteringVoiceOut, Int32 inputChannels, Int32 inputSampleRate, Int32 flags, Int32 deviceIndex, Nullable`1 effectChainRef) at BigBox.Audio.SoundManager..ctor() at BigBox.ViewModels.MainViewModel..ctor() --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.RuntimeTypeHandle.CreateInstance(RuntimeType type, Boolean publicOnly, Boolean noCheck, Boolean& canBeCached, RuntimeMethodHandleInternal& ctor, Boolean& bNeedSecurityCheck) at System.RuntimeType.CreateInstanceSlow(Boolean publicOnly, Boolean skipCheckThis, Boolean fillCache, StackCrawlMark& stackMark) at System.RuntimeType.CreateInstanceDefaultCtor(Boolean publicOnly, Boolean skipCheckThis, Boolean fillCache, StackCrawlMark& stackMark) at System.Activator.CreateInstance(Type type, Boolean nonPublic) at System.Activator.CreateInstance(Type type) at Caliburn.Micro.BootstrapperBase.DisplayRootViewFor(Type viewModelType, IDictionary`2 settings) at System.Windows.Application.b__1(Object unused) at System.Windows.Threading.ExceptionWrapper.InternalRealCall(Delegate callback, Object args, Int32 numArgs) at MS.Internal.Threading.ExceptionFilterHelper.TryCatchWhen(Object source, Delegate method, Object args, Int32 numArgs, Delegate catchHandler)

Yes it is

Ive got a major issue, have everything working perfectly and i can get into Big Box with no trouble at all, the problem occurs when i just want to manually open Big Box. The .exe file returns a big error message and because of this i cant use Kodi to launch Big Box. Does anyone know of a solution to just launch big box?
