Well if the issue has been fixed, it is still not working correctly. I am still getting the same issue with beta 2. I still did not get a notification to update to beta 2 as I had to check for updates manually. It is not a big deal, just wanted to report what I am seeing.

I think there is something wrong with this newest beta update. My update did not prompt a notification to download when I opened LaunchBox. I had to check for this new beta update manually even though I have check for updates upon startup and update to beta releases turn on in the options. I have never seen that happen before.

@Shredder_guitar That site that you posted is for themes that has been tested for a while and is for the themes manager interface. It is recommended to upload the theme to the forums first for some public testing before uploading to that site. Since it is a startup theme you can upload it here and click in the red box that says "Submit a file" https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/category/31-startup-themes/ Also there is plenty of action going on in the LaunchBox community as the developers are always adding new features and fixing bugs.

Looking great! Looking forward to trying it out. One of the all time great themes in BigBox.

Interesting, are you using Windows 10 or 11?

The VLC and WMP settings in LaunchBox and Bigbox are 2 different settings and one does not affect the other. In order to change to WMP in BigBox you have to change it in the BigBox settings and vice versa if you wanted to change to a different media player in LaunchBox you have to change it in the LaunchBox settings.

Just curious, did you exit out of BigBox after changing to WMP? Then tested again after a BigBox restart and was having the same locking up issue? I have read elsewhere to shutdown BigBox after changing the media player and restart.

Can confirm the issue that @TheNewClassics and @Rlad is having up above with every theme I have tried with no options showing up in the game details screen.

Are you using VLC for your media player in BigBox? Try changing the media player to Window Media Player and I bet it solves your problem. I have the same problem along with other users and switching to WMP fixed the problem.

I tested out the new beta with the VLC updates with the default theme but unfortunately BigBox is still freezing/locking up while in attract mode with VLC but not WMP. Not sure if the other testers are having the same results or not but just wanted to report in.

I have determined that my freezing/locking up issues while in attract mode is VLC. I know VLC is the recommended one to use but I have been using WMP for over 24 hours without any issues where as while using VLC BigBox would freeze within a couple of hours.

I am getting the same issue as well that @Fursphere mentioned about BigBox freezing/locking up while in attract mode in the 13.9 betas. I have not narrowed it down yet if it is theme specific or something involving the ThirdScreen marquee plugin. I did not have an issue before 13.9. I'm gonna try to do more testing however.

Can confirm that "Clean up Media" that @Fursphere mentioned above is freezing and crashing. It literally freezes up LaunchBox when trying to use.

I can confirm and had the same issue that @dragonkoh had when I had the ultrastick 360's in my cabinet exactly as he was describing. I tried different troubleshooting steps for hours on end and could never figure out what was wrong until it drove me so mad that I ended up replacing them with a different less sophisticated joystick and problem was solved. I did not want to however because having the U360's in the cabinet had great versatility and functionality of changing the maps from 4-way, 8-way and analog and were way better than the joysticks that I am using now. They only acted like that and had those weird issues with BigBox just like he said. I even emailed back and forth with the developer of the joysticks and he even sent me a new circuit board for one of the joysticks to see if it solved the problem and sadly it did not.
