    I've used the same settings as I suggest to use in Point IV and V of the download description/ReadMe file. See point VII for the platfom videos I have used. And in case you also want to know my other transitions settings:

    Hi cormegaman, welcome to the forums! 1. I know that @niglurion has uploaded them a while ago, but I couldn’t find them after a quick search. So maybe somebody else or niglurion himself can help you out with that. 2. You can edit any info field for your paltforms. Go to Tools –> Manage Platforms and edit any platform you want.

    Oh wow, I can’t remember to have ever touched that property. Thanks for pointing that out! V1.1 of the theme will come out shortly in a few minutes Edit: Sorry but I have huge problems with my ISP right now and it’s literally impossible for me to upload anything. Hopefully I can get the new version out tomorrow.

    Thanks ultrez and Temp! I just tried it myself and you’re absolutely right. Platform banners work, wheels don’t. It could be a BigBox bug though, so maybe @Jason Carr could take a look at it?

    @andyco47 Great to hear that the last video works at least with VLC for you. I will replace the video with this version inn the next update. Thanks for helping! Now to your logo problem. Sorry but I have to ask this first, have you refreshed the image cache of your platform wheels?
  7. CriticalCid
    Alright, try this one. Sorry to bother you with that but you are currently the only person who can help me to fix that. Platforms.mp4 Also just to be clear. You have installed the K-Lite codec pack on your 6.9 machine? What version of Windows are you using?
  8. CriticalCid
    @andyco47 I would be very thankful if you could test if this new background video is looping for you Platforms.mp4

    Here you go mate. Platform banner: Wheels: http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/files/file/11362-main-menu-wheels-bordered-crylen-style-43-genre-wheels/

    Woot? Then it’s definitely a codec issue. Really weird that the K-Lite codec pack didn’t worked for you though. But I’m really happy to hear that it’s now working for you as well Thank you very much for that info. Now I know where to fix this.
  11. CriticalCid
    Thanks man. Really means a lot to hear that from you!
  12. CriticalCid
    Both. They're are some of the standard views in BigBox but I modified it for my theme (like I did with ALL standard views).

    I have a little service note for you guys. The new option for the Wheel Minimum Speed in the latest Beta seems to improve the performance furthermore. Especially in the CoverFlow views (which frequently lagged a little). Reduce the value to 200 or 300 Milliseconds and the CoverFlow and Wheel Views should be a lot more responsive! So you will hopefully get a complete flawless experience with my theme if you combine that with my suggested Fade options (point V in the download description / ReadMe).
  14. CriticalCid
    Weird... But nice to hear that it's just working for you
  15. CriticalCid
    Are you sure you have the same issue? andyco47 had problems with the animated background, not the platform videos. You probably have platform background videos activated. Just deactivate that in your options and it should work as expected for you

    Hello

    CriticalCid commented on Thatman84's blog entry in Thatmans Blog

    Haha, I didn’t’ even know that users can create their own blogs. I always thought this was just Jason’s thing here
  17. CriticalCid
    I’m so sorry mate but I really have absolutely no clue how to help you with that as it works perfectly fine on all of my machines and I have no idea how to troubleshoot your problem furthermore.
  18. CriticalCid
    I have restructured and updated the download description and ReadMe file. They now include most of the questions/problems which came up in this thread so far.
  19. CriticalCid
    Try to restart your 6.9 machine and see if that helps. If that still doesn’t work, can you open the “Platforms.mp4” video file in “..\LaunchBox\Themes\CriticalZone(v1.0)\Videos\BackgroundVideo\” with Windows Media Player and test if it can play it?
  20. CriticalCid
    What video engine are you using in Big Box? If you use WMP than I would suggest to change it to VLC. Also the K-Lite codec pack may no helped you with your looping problem but it will most likely solve the problem on your other machine.
  21. CriticalCid
    Awesome! Good to know that this helps, will add that information to the ReadMe
  22. CriticalCid
    @bundangdon If it isn’t the video engine than it’s most likely the transitions. Maybe try out my transition settings and see if that helps you:
  23. CriticalCid
    Alright, try to install the K-Lite codec pack and see if that helps. The basic version should be sufficient for this. http://codecguide.com/download_kl.htm
  24. CriticalCid
    The loop is hardcoded in the theme itself, so it doesn’t require any settings on your end. The video background works through the Windows Media Player engine though, so that could may be a codec issue. Have you installed any codec packs on your PC?
  25. CriticalCid
    @bundangdonI can't answer you directly in the review section, so I have to do it here. The off-center issue with 4:3 videos is a bug with the VLC engine that I can’t fix, unfortunately. You have to use platform videos in 16:9 aspect ratio to have the videos centered, sorry for that. @Jason Carr already knows about it, but I don't know when he can come around to fix this. Regarding the lagging issue. What Video engine are you using? VLC works with my theme way faster on the transitions than WMP, so if you are using WMP than try to switch it to VLC. If that doesn’t help try to play around with the transitions. EDIT: Maybe you're interested in some technical info as well. The lagging issues with WMP occur because the background video will always be played through WMP (can't change that fact) and the engine seems to have problems playing 2 videos simultaneously
