@Jason Carr I just noticed a new issue after the newest beta and its a strange one. If I immediately scroll to the Arcade/MAME platform after BigBox starts up, MAME video will not even startup while on the wheel and I cannot even press enter to enter the MAME platform until Bigbox has been running for about 5 to 6 seconds after startup, then the mame video finally starts and I can press enter to go into the games view. This only happens upon startup and does not happen once you are in BigBox as everything works normal. Is this because Mame has more games than any of my other platforms and it is still parsing the xml even after startup? I can go into any of my other platforms immediately after startup, it only seems to affect Mame. I have about 2800 games in my MAME platform which is the same before the newest beta.

theme CriticalZone / CriticalZone - BlueBox
kmoney replied to CriticalCid's topic in Big Box Custom Themes
@CriticalCid One thing I noticed while surfing through some games today while using your theme is I noticed while using the Horizontal View 1 in the games view that some games that have long names get cutoff such as Super Street Fighter II : The New Challengers. Its not that big of a deal but I just wanted to point it out to you but I am sure you already know.- 626 replies

Wow....I can see a huge difference in startup times on my rig with both BigBox and LaunchBox. Everything seems to flowing smoother as well while scrolling through the wheels and just going in and out of the option menus as well. I must say I think this is the biggest performance improvement update thus far in BB and LB!! Rock on @Jason Carr

@RetroHumanoid Your fade and pause work with RocketLauncher is truly awesome work and much appreciated!

Nice work on these...loving the game themed music choices on these as well!!

@Jazzphone Are you by any chance using Rocketlauncher with LaunchBox when your background videos are not playing when returning from a game? That problem has been going on with me as well and I have noticed the bug for months now. I don't know how or why but I had to download a fresh copy of RocketLauncher which was not fun to make the problem go away. This is the 2nd time I have had to do this within the last 6 months and have no explanation but it has fixed the issue both times and it seems to only affect background videos not starting back automatically when exiting a game. @Jason Carr Can you confirm that if background videos start back for you automatically when exiting a game?

theme CriticalZone / CriticalZone - BlueBox
kmoney replied to CriticalCid's topic in Big Box Custom Themes
@CriticalCid I am really enjoying your new views for the recorded HS themes for the Arcade platforms with your theme I am hoping that @Jason Carr can come up with a way to maybe save views per platform especially with the Arcade platforms. I really enjoy your new views for the HS themes for the Arcade platforms and think it looks awesome, but I prefer the coverflow type views for my console platforms that show boxart and a smaller size video box. I would love to have the best of both worlds combined I guess- 626 replies

Great job on these!

Looks amazing....great job!

I agree as I was lucky to find those 2 games locally at a yard sale a few years ago. Its a shame that some of these great games you cannot get digitally such as Elite Force 2 through Steam or GOG. It took a little bit of work to get Elite Force 2 to work on Windows 10 but once I did it works great and even looks good on a widescreen monitor @ 1080P when you make some changes in the cfg file manually. I have yet to play No One Lives Forever 1 or 2 but I just looked it up and it looks like a great game that is my style. I know a lot of these games were ported over to the PS2 but most of the time the PC port is always better.

Just got done with Uncharted 4 on the PS4 ( I know I am a late one to the party on that one) and it was simply a masterpiece of a game as I always expect from the Uncharted games. I am also currently right now going back and replaying through 2 PC classics which are Star Trek Voyager Elite Force and Star Wars Jedi Knight II.

Wow that is a huge difference in startup time....definitely looks like something worth investigating into.

I remember your intros from HS....all top quality work!! Looking forward to it!

@viking I have always been a fan of your work and your new Bartop theme is no exception and looking awesome! I have a 4:3 monitor that has been sitting around for a while that I have been planning on making a bartop with and I think your theme is getting me motivated to get started on it.

I have been using VLC for a while now and everything seems to be fine for the most part. I guess one other thing that VLC has glitches with that WMP doesnt is have that weird green lines/pixelation on some webm videos. Of course you have to have k-lite plugin installed to even get webm videos to work with wmp but it doesnt have the green scrambled videos. Its not a deal breaker by any means but just wanted to point it out.

One other thing I wanted to point out and not sure if it is a bug or made by design this way. If I add platform videos to the Themes/Default/Videos/Platforms folder, it does not overide what is in the regular Videos/Platforms folder in LB. If it is like that by design it would be a nice feature because I like to keep my regular platform videos in the Videos/Platforms folder and my cinimatic themes in the Themes/Default/Videos/Platforms folder. I guess the ultimate on the wishlist would be to have two different video folders, one for cinimatic and one for regular platform videos and have an option in BigBox to change between the two.

@Jason Carr I mentioned this a few weeks ago in the beta thread but maybe you missed it. I have noticed an issue when you have the background game videos option checked, that when you exit back out of a game the video does not start back automatically. It only happens with background game videos as all the other views work correctly and the game video starts back automatically. I Tested it out with wmp and vlc.

@Hexxxer Awesome additions to 2.0. I love how this theme is so clean and beautiful. I read the channel log that you added some videos but there is not a videos folder in the theme folder although I do see a new background animated video in BigBox.

@Jason Carr One thing I noticed when I downloaded the new beta is the Background folder was not automatically created in the Music folder. Its not a big deal as I just created one manually but it could maybe confuse new users who do not keep up with the beta thread but other than that it seems to be working great thus far. Awesome addition and great job!!
-
Wow...that is looking really awesome!!
-
Yes, the plugin for LaunchBox seems to be 100% working correctly in all my testing so far. Very happy
