    That's great Jason I'll update and test it out now. Sounds like the DPI scaling is going to be as much of a nightmare as the video alignment problems
  2. Rincewind
    Will this update from 1.5 to 1.6 also

    @Styphelus could you zip your collection of platform banners up and upload it or just attach the zip in this thread please

    @Pyrometheous yes that's exactly how its looking on mine also, VLC doesn't load the PLATFORM videos only the sound, and so many don't fill the screen properly. I wonder @Jason Carr could you maybe spend 30 mins and see if you can make any head way on this? Oh and @Pyrometheous if you have some games marked as favourites it makes one of the views look much better but I cant remember which one

    @bbweiners thank you so much for the help on that, this has been a bit of an headache to get sorted, as far as I can tell this was working fine when I released the theme all be it has to use WMP and as the new LaunchBox version came out some thing stopped the "stretch" / "fill"..... I've changed your code slightly so that the widescreen videos expand to use the whole screen @Pyrometheous (I know it isn't how it would of looked but I also didn't like the black lines). I would love to see your Platform View if you could upload / attach it here or PM it to me that would be great. I will add the changed "BoxesGamesView" to a new update once I manage to get the videos working properly in the other views..... let me know if you have any ideas on what is causing them to not stretch Oh and @Pyrometheous you have not installed the font that goes with the theme by the looks of the screenshot.

    I have just tried using the Rincewind theme again as I wanted to add a clock as an update which was fine, but when I checked all the views the videos are displaying completely wrong (this was happening before I added the clock). I know the issues with the alignment but they seem worse now then before. Have I missed something in the stream that I need to update in the theme. An example is the game view with the retro t.v. the video now displays tiny even tho I have "uniform fill" in there. There has been feedback complaints about the videos but I always put it down to the media player options. Really is it worth spending any more time on this?

    It could be you need to make sure the image names are exactly the same as your platform names, I am currently in the process of making an update for the theme too please let me know if that was your problem @Jcabral4

    Your 100% right with what your saying, thank you for clearing it up @Agent47. If there is anything I've learnt in the few short years I've been around the scene is that there are a lot of helpful and respectful people in the community as a whole and that's what makes it great. And I'm talking of the whole retro gaming community.

    The thread as far as I remember was meant to be a place to say , "just to let you all know LaunchBox has a few new updates." but I understand that the replies sometimes ended up with a few frustrated past and present HS users venting, it is a shame when a thread ends up going down that route as someone will always get offended. So if the thread ended up like that then probably it's for the best. We do need to know the pros and cons of all things to make a better frontend, we just need a level of calm when discussing them.

    Yes updating to the official release is safe to do, out of habit I make a backup once a new release is out so that while I install the betas I can always go back to my original install but that is more to do with what the new features do to the media files etc
  11. Rincewind
    Thank you for letting us know @circo
  12. Rincewind
    Wheels use the 'Clear Logos' so you could replace the images in the folder with the ones you wish to use instead and the fact the file names match your ROMs already is great, I would how ever make a backup of your clear logos as you might decide to use them instead in the future. As with the custom backgrounds you could try adding a image to the 'Fan Art' folder. I've not tryed this so maybe someone that has could let you know as you may need to turn off / on something in the options

    Skip that I didn't have the video........ I know I did so I must of deleted it at least now I know what happens if there is no video to play.

    I made a vector version of the logo if you wanted a higher resolution
  15. Rincewind
    Not sure if this is a new bug or not but the videos are now playing just the music on some games only.... see the below video when it gets to "2020 Super Baseball"

    @Maddoc1007 thank you for taking a look at the theme, I do remember one of the views not working in VS so I used notepad++ to edit it instead. I think your right the Horizontal Wheel 1 view is not supposed to have video playing

    Thanks @Pyrometheous , I don't know why the video playback is so bad for some people, for me it works with the WMP engine ok. This was my first stab at making a theme and I used alot of the code from exciting themes and mashed it together @CriticalCid helped alot. I'm not sure if one of the other.... more experienced theme makers might know if there's some bug in the code... @Grila @CriticalCid @eatkinola @Maddoc1007 @viking @vsilvalopes @faeran @SNAK3ATER or anyone I missed. This is the point that I find out it needs to be redone from the ground up (which is a possibility I know) Oh and 'Rincewind' is also my fav character from discworld, so is 'Death' but I think death is a bit on the morbid side so I went with the first option
  18. Rincewind
    Yes but should it not just refresh and cache newly added images
  19. Rincewind
    @JamesBond@ge don't feel like your 'dissing' because if we don't let @Jason Carr know about these things then there never get sorted.... It's a very valid bug report
  20. Rincewind
    Sounds like a drive about to fail I would make sure you grab a backup soon
  21. Rincewind
    I prefer playing without scan lines but they do make games/videos look more retrospective
  22. Rincewind
    Awesome arcade view, the marquee is great
  23. Rincewind
    @sagaopc have you tried changing the video play back engine in the options
  24. Rincewind

  25. Rincewind
