    Do you mean this video? Categories for platforms are already added to LaunchBox in the latest 7.0 betas and will coming soon for Big Box as well. Nested filters are coming as well but that will take quite a little until it's added. But I know that it's a high priority for future features.
  2. CriticalCid
    Yes, when you want to download them comfortable and simple through LaunchBox you'll need an EmuMovies premium membership. But the video themes are also coming for free users to the EmuMovies website next week. But as free user you’ll have a daily 1.5GB download limit so you’ll probably need 1 or 2 weeks until you have everything downloaded.

    I would guess so. Not sure if HyperSpin will like the video codec that I'm using but otherwise I can't think of anything why it shouldnt' work.

    Hey guys, sorry for the late response but I got finally around to do your requests. I will wait until I have a couple of new videos done before I upload them as an Update Pack on EmuMovies though. Sorry for this inconvenience but on that way it's easier for me and you guys to keep track of the newly added stuff. I've also updated the main post with the stuff you'll need to provide me for doing requests.

    It’s possible but you would need to add it yourself. This view is intended to be used with the Game Video Themes and cover wouldn’t fit to it very well, I couldn't even find a good place to add the platform logo to it. So unfortunately I won’t add any cover to it, sorry. EDIT: I’m in good mood today so I quickly did an alternative version of this view just for you. It’s just a quick and dirty solution without any optimizations but I hope it will do the job just fine for you Just put this file in the “Views” folder of my theme and replace it with the original one.

    Great to hear

    Google Translate may be great for single words or phrases but for whole texts it’s just really awful and a grammatical nightmare. I’m not sure if it would be worth the effort to implement an API for it into the database.

    Do you mean the Video Themes or Big Box themes? If you are referring to the videos than you should find theme videos for almost all arcade systems with this method. There are no videos for consoles, computers, handhelds, etc at the moment, just arcade. If you mean Big Box themes. Yes, all Video Themes will work with all Big Box themes. But depending on the theme/view they won't look right or be too small. You may want to use themes which have a view that features huge gameplay videos without stretching them. Btw. I have just updated my own theme with 2 additional views which were designed for these Video Themes

    First of all you'll need an EmuMovies premium account and the latest LB beta. - Open LaunchBox, go to your Arcade Platform(s) and select all your games with CTRL+A. - Than go to Tools -> Download Metadata and Images. - Click through the wizard and deselect all media types except for "Video - Theme" on the EmuMovies media dialog. - Choose "Yes, but do not replace any existing fields" and let LB download all available themes for you.

    CriticalZone v1.3 is out with 2 completely new Views for the newly added Game Theme Videos (recorded HyperSpin themes)! CriticalZone Changelog: v1.3 (12/02/2016): - Added: 2 new Game Views. Both were designed to take full advantage of the newly added Game Theme Videos. You have to use LB v7.0 Beta-16 or higher in order to use them! - Updated: The ReadMe file now contains information’s for downloading and using Game Theme Videos.

    The alignment properties are buggy for WMP and VLC but each has its own problems with that. I encountered that problem for my own theme as well and it appears that it depends on the video. Some videos aren’t affected at all while others always have the same issue to be not properly on the position they should be.
  12. CriticalCid
    Sure, feel always free to ask. I’m not Jason so that’s just the way I see it, so you never know The issue with the hardline that you see could probably be fixed with some color gradients. It never really bothered me so I haven’t played around that much to find a solution.
  13. CriticalCid
    Well, what you describe is exactly that: a workaround for HyperSpin. I'm not saying it's a bad idea but recreating that workaround to work similar in Big Box would be way too limited to work just for this specific scenario, so I don’t see a native support for it coming any time soon. If a build-in solution for this will come than it will most likely work/look very similiar to my current workaround which only uses one wheel logo per game. Here’s a video of my theme and my workaround. You could “gray out” the other wheels even more if it isn’t dark enough for you
  14. CriticalCid
    Something similar is possible with a little trick in Big Box as well. You have to split the wheel in 3 sections were the section in the middle only contains the currently selected game. Then you add a fade over the upper and lower sections and it looks like the wheel in the middle section is highlighted. I use that exact same method in my own theme as well.
  15. CriticalCid
    If you are using the latest beta version of 7.0 than you can try to reduce the “Wheel Minimum Speed” in your Views options. I experienced small lags in the CoverFlow views as well but after I've set the speed to 200 Milliseconds it’s almost completely gone for me.
  16. CriticalCid
    Great job as usual

    The View in your screenshot doesn’t support any platform videos. You have to switch to a View which does. You can either switch the View in your Big Box options in “Views -> Platform List view” or you can set up a key/button to switch the views on the fly (Keyboard Mappings or Controller Buttons in your options)
  18. CriticalCid
    I think what he means is that LaunchBox doesn’t save your settings for this. You can move and resize all the columns but when you exit LB and reopen it, everything is set back to standard. Same thing happens when you switch between the Images and List view. I don't know if this is bug or by design @Jason Carr ?

    There's a workaround for Amiga. @Zombeaver made a great and detailed tutorial for it. I hope that helps you
  20. CriticalCid
    I hopefully have fixed that by reducing the file size of the whole archive. At least it works perfectly fine for me on my end now. Can you try it again?

    Well...this subreddit isn't dedicated to the one and only king of FE's. It's for an App for... space flights schedules? What the hell!? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.foschwi.launchbox

    Great job Viking! Especially the platform view which features your 4:3 videos looks really nice
  23. CriticalCid
    True, but you can set a default background image for each platform which is shown instead of the black background when there’s no fanart for the game itself. Just add your platform backgrounds into the Fanart folder for each platform. You can find them in “\LaunchBox\Images\Platforms\..”

    @imdavid555 I'm on it! @bundangdon and everyone else who has a request for a system: The structure of the unified themes is pretty simple, so with the right images I could create some new ones for you. I will do all your requests BUT you have to provide me all of the following source files: - Neutral Background image (no characters, consoles or controller). If possible in 1920x1080. - Gameplay video (NO trailer / features at least 3 or more games) - Clear Logo (transparent background / high resolution) - Picture of the system (transparent background / high resolution) [I don't need that for arcade systems] - Picture of a gamepad for this system (transparent background / high resolution) [I don't need that for arcade, handheld and computer systems] - Character of a popular game which can be played on this system (transparent background / high resolution) I have zero Photoshop skills, so all images already have to be properly edited to fit the requirements or I have to refuse your request.
  25. CriticalCid
    @Porl Hendy I just use the standard Fanart - Backgrounds you get through the importer from the LB games database and EmuMovies. @imdavid555 Well, then you have to nag @Jason Carr long enough until he adds support for this
