@ALIE : Cool !!!! =)@Bamxcore : Yep, it's a bug in the video engine. At my level, I cant correct the problem. But @CriticalCid shared a patch. I just put it online on the theme download page.
In my original code, the video is set to fit the screen ratio. CriticalCid avoids the problem by fixing the placement. Its file is valid for the 16x9 screens. Dont hesitate to test the patch. -

@CriticalCid Thank you for your help !!!
Placing video is a good temporary solution. But it will be necessary to make a version for each screen ratio.
Alignment makes it possible to adapt to each ratio.
I cant wait until this bug is fixed !!@ALIE CriticalCid is right. As I told you before, your display problem is not a bug. The theme dont find its pictures!
- Do you have the file: [BigCouch / Images / Themes] with its contents?
- Dont rename any folder or theme file. Including the theme itself.
@nruben3 Strange! There is no reason why the theme changes anything at the transition setup. Transition for which element?

@hargabyte : Yes, I have just seen this white text problem when there is no Game ClearLogo. But I can not figure out where to fix it. I just had a lot of testing, but it's still white. Anyone know where this value?
@Jason Carr : In a GameView = Game ClearLogo wheel = when there is no ClearLogo, where to change the font color for the game title? Thx !!
@ALIE : Yes, this video alignment bug makes me crazy!
I dont know what to do !!
For the curious, here is the code I use to align right. It seems to me to be the cleanest because aligned by the grids and not by functions.
<Grid Grid.Row="0"> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/> <!-- this way, this colomn fill the gap --> <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/> <!-- auto fit to the video, no matter its ratio. --> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <!-- And the basic video call, from the documentation PDF --> <transitions:TransitionPresenter Grid.Column="1" TransitionSelector="{Binding ImageVideoTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding ImageVideoView}" /> </Grid>

For ClearLogo, it's because yours are too long. The theme is not coded to adapt automatically to each logo format. I created the left band according to my logos.
You can modify my PNG band according to your logo.
Or you can change your logos by adjusting them to the size of mine.I see that you have created notches for the unselected logo. It's cool ! But I'm waiting for an update from jason to finalize this theme. My goal is to align the logo on the left. There will be no need for these notches in the final version of my theme.
On the other hand, I dont understand your 'Not Cut off'. What are you trying to show us?
-
@ALIE I just reuploder all versions released.
But if I remember correctly, your problem was not the alignment of the videos? But the white areas?
If that's it, it's because there are not the theme images folder in: LaunchBox > Theme > BigCouch > Images > Theme ...
-
@Porl Hendy : The delivered PSD file is without a logo. It is neutral. This is the basis for allowing everyone to create their own logo.
Other PNG files dont have any layer. They are ready to be used.
I dont have the PSD file for each of my logos. To you to create your background/logo/color set according to your taste =) -
@ALIE @madpossum : Thx guys !
So it's still not the graphic card .... I begin to despair!
Unless the bug comes from the core video, I dont know what to do !
I dont think it comes from the theme code. The proof : it works with many people.
For me, this must come:- The core video engine code.
- A 3rd party app installed on your machines. But then to isolate it, it will not be fun!
If someone has an idea or a track, I'm a taker!
@Jason Carr I try to work a new PlatformView. I use the horizontal wheel with the value BANNER. But on display, it's very pixelated. While my Banner images are in high resolution. Where did the problem come from ??
--- UPDATE v.1.5.5 ---
- fix - some graphic change on games view.
- add - 2 more Games View !
-
@Porl Hendy : You already have the complete PSD file in my ClearLogo set. So you have all the elements in hand! No ?
-
@marcelo.magri : Hum I dont know if that's possible. It seems to automatically take on the design of the ListView. I dont think I can change that at the theme level. Sorry. =/

@marcelo.magri : Thx !
It's possible, but it's a BigBox feature. Not a theme feature.
On the main screen, returns back. You will find here the list of filters.

You have this :
I haven't tested, but it seems to match your expectations, not?
-
@hargabyte : Strange indeed. I have not had time to test this block, but I think it's a problem with the horizontal wheel. This system seems to work better in vertical.
@neil9000 : Thx !! It feels good to hear it
@master333 : Yes, I experienced the same kind of problem. I dont know where it comes from. The best thing is to stay on WMP for now.
@keltoigael : Ahahah no problem !
@madpossum @ALIE @shadowblind @nicknamex And anyone with a bug in videos right alignment :
Please, can you give me your hardware configuration ?
processor | graphic card | windows version | BigBox versionI always try to isolate the source of the problem to fix it. Thank you
For now, I'm thinking about a problem with the ATI/AMD graphic card drivers. -
@keltoigael Are you sure to use BigBox v7 (BETA)? the last beta. I upload a v.1.5.2. Please test and tell me. It's strange that it doesn't work only for you !!
If it's dont work, tests to delete, still in the VIEWS folder: FilterDetailsView.xaml
If not, rename the actual theme folder and make a fresh installation of BigCouch beside?
-
I'm joking, but it's a good track!
I dont have an AMD card to explore the drivers. But if you dig into the driver, there will not be options for displaying videos? And if you deactivate them, the theme works?EDIT : From memory, there was a small app annex to the driver with the ATI card that was problematic. It may be another track!
-
@hargabyte : Thx ! I use similar systems. There was a note recently about an AMD graphics card utility that is problematic with LaunchBox. Those who have the problem may be using AMD/ATI graphics cards ??
For me, my system works fine:- Intel NUC - Intel i5 + graphic Intel + Windows 10 64bits + VLC/WMP install + no codec pack = work fine.
- Intel i7 - windows 7 Pro 64bits + CG Nvidia + VLC/WMP install + no codec pack = work fine.
And you ?
@keltoigael : Weird !
Please :- go into your : LaunchBox > Theme > BigCouch > Views > ...
-
And delete these 4 files :
- Reload BigBox.
- It works ?

@MatticusFinch1820 : You have this plugin :

@shadowblind @nicknamex @madpossu @ALIE or anyboby with video alignement issue :
This bug is very strange. I dont understand. There is no reason for it to come from code or video files. The simple fact that the problem doesn't show up for everybody, or worse, that the alignment changes according to the platforms asks me question.
I wonder if the problem is not external to LaunchBox.
Some ideas or questions to try to isolate the problem:- Is your ".Net" up to date? (windows update)
- Is your "Windows" up to date ?
- Have you installed a codec pack or stuff like that?
- Have you installed a video player other than WMP or VLC on your computer?
- What is your graphic card ? Driver up to date ? Some graphics drivers may interfere with video. (I think it's a good track)
- Do you have an up-to-date & standalone VLC installation?
- Do you have "Windows Media Player" on your computer?
@Jason Carr : Do you have any idea where this problem can come from? Not necessarily the solution, but the source of the problem.
@nicknamex : Yep, that's it ! I dont love you
@hargabyte : I dont know. I never used this block in my themes.
Jason extended the number of possible views. So I'll do some testing and tell you. =)
Nope, I already used all platform view =/ I test and tell you. -
@keltoigael : Strange !
You must have :
- BigBox v7 BETA. Last version is best
- Theme last version : v1.5.1
Tell me if it's work !
@ALIE : Here is a photomontage to be clearer.
This is the correct display. The red frame is video. The rest is made by image. The video must take all this height, without distortion and remain glued to the right. With the latest version v.1.5.1, the display is OK for you?
@shadowblind @nicknamex @madpossu , anybody :
Still have the display bug with this last theme version ? -
UPDATE v.1.5.1
- I fix other view order.
-
UPDATE v.1.1.0
- All new upload for all video. For make "preview" work in LaunchBox.
- Size opimisation. I divided the total size by 3, with no visible quality loss.
- Renaming with good platforms standard names.
- add - "Movie" video
@Jason Carr : With these new video files, preview should work in LaunchBox. Tell me if it works!

20161206_172015.mp4 : (WMP ?)
Wait, but the display is good !!! No ?
The white background is not a code problem. It's because it dont find the theme images.
You would not accidentally delete the file: LaunchBox > Theme > BigCouch > Images > Theme ...
This is the place I put all theme images.20161206_172109.mp4 : (VLC ?)
Here OK, the video is not displayed. But why does it work at home !!??
EDIT : @ALIE
It is normal that the video doesn't take the whole screen. That's why I make images to hide this. The problem of alignment is that the videos dont always seem well glued to the right of the screen. And that's not normal.
With the images folder, it's work for you ? -
Well. New UPDATE v.1.5.0
- Always try to fix video alignement issue.
- Now VLC video engine work as well (!!)
Trying to work the code to fix the alignment issue, I just make it work with VLC!
Tested and functional at home, under windows 7 and windows 10.
Tell me if it works for you !!!!In fact, I just make :
::::::::::::::: From this :::::::::::::::: <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition/> <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> :::::::::::::: To this ::::::::::::::::::: <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/> <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
