!! PLATFORM VIDEO UPDATE !! +5 new video. Already available through the usual channels /!\ There was a problem with videos encoding. If you have issue with video length, please download them again. - EXAMU Ex-Board by @Klopjero - Konami Bubble System by @Klopjero - Locomalito by @Klopjero - Zinc by @Klopjero - NEC PC-9801

Ok, I have a little issue here... Originally, I badly encoded my videos. It worked, but the streaming was broken, which prevented previewing videos from Launchbox's Theme Video Download Tool. To fix this issue, Faeran did a huge job fixing my old videos. I took care of the last ones. (See post above) Except that I screw at some point = all the videos are cut at 60 seconds!!! Damn ! So, DON'T USE AVIDEMUX ANY MORE for this video set ! I found a solution, directly in VIDCODER. So it doesn't add a new step. Just check these 2 options in each encoding profile. I will update the 1st post with the corrected VidCoder presets. So I had to re-encode ALLLLLLL the videos. And upload them again! It's now done. So if you find the videos cut at 60sec for no reason, please download them again. Sorry for the inconvenience !

Nice 3D model indeed ! Did you do the renders? Or is it me? Really? Damn! Choose the color you want. Really. Just try to stay in the general tone of the set =)

Updated first page post with a last final step in video creation process : # IN DETAIL, FFMPEG ? (new) ( Thx to @faeran for letting me know about this problem and this solution! ) To make video previews work properly in "Launchbox's Video Download tool", we need to add this step with an FFMPEG script. It is not an encoding or rendering task. Just a metadata correction of the files. It's super fast and to do BEFORE uploading to the community. Download Avidmux software here. Download this script : Streamable_MP4.py Open this script with a text editor and change le inputfolder path (where are your raw video) and adm.save path (where your corrected video where save) Open AvidMux, go to File > Project Script > Run Project and open your script.py Done ! EDIT : DON'T DO THIS ! See post below

It works ! Thanks @faeran !! =)

Thx @Klopjero ! Few comments : "Mame LightGun": The background color may be too strong. Too dark and saturated. I'm afraid it's too present once in the interface. "Mame": Perfect, but know that there can only be one color per platform. So it will be the color for "Mame", not for "Arcade". "Naomi" work in progress : Awesome!! I looked a lot for a 3D model already made by laziness to do it myself! On the other hand, be careful on the left: it exceeds the "square" guide. It must not be exceeded to be able to create PNGs. You must have these guides in the PSD files.

Summer Video Update ! ⛱ + 12 new platform video ! @OdinsPlayground : A big thank you for your work and your sharing!! @Klopjero : Many thanks for your work. The sources of the videos are missing so that I can integrate them here. Thank you very much for these 3D sources !!! Available on the download page. @Jason Carr or @faeran, unable to connect FTP to upload these new videos. A problem on your side?

I'm on vacation. I'll take care of all your work when I come back ! 👍 Have a great summer !! ⛱️

Thx @faeran for your help ! My rom file is abuner2.zip. So no problem here. I must have a issue in RA config. I'll give a try. Thx again ! =) EDIT : OK, fixed ! If it helps, in the RetroArch/overlay settings, I had activated the "hide overlay if physical controller connected". Just disable this option!

thx @faeran !! LaunchBox v.12.13 🆗 "Arcade" Platforme scrap as "Arcade" 🆗 RetroArch\config\FinalBurn Neo config 🆗 RetroArch\overlays\GameBezels\MAME 🆗 But still no bezel when I launch a game. I must have a bad config on the RA side. I will check that. Ideas ?

Hello everyone ! Since the last release, I've been trying to implement bezels on my arcade platform. But I'm not sure it's compatible : I use Reatroarch with the FBneo_libretro core. I followed the ETAprime method to update my metadata. (Only Theme Bezels) The download is going well. But no visible bezel when I launch a game. If I look in: RetroArch \ overlays \ GameBezels I have a new "MAME" folder with all the downloaded bezels. But necessarily, they are not called with FBneo. I tried to rename this file (FBNEO, FBNEO_libretro, ...) but nothing works. Any idea ? Not compatible with FBneo ? Thx ! =)

@OSH Yes, the BoxArt fadeout was requested by the community. Since v2 of the theme, made by @faeran, you can modify the theme with the Community Theme Creator. (see the text on the download page) @Bawnanable Thx! Yes I saw ! Very excited about the Android version. I ordered an Odin Lite for this ^^ I'm thinking propos a concept for Android yes. When... no idea!

Nice source ! I'll give a shoot for missing arcade video. I use 3dsmax. Thx !!! 👍

@sevenalive You're right ! Sorry. I just submitted the latest version. It should be quickly available in BigBox.

@Madhead : you are using my old version. Faeran recoded the theme from scratch for v.2 Color management is more up to date and can be customized in the Community theme Creator with Theme source code. (see link in the theme download page description)

UPDATE +12 Platform Video ! Already available through the usual channels, in 4K or HD. @faeran Colors are available on our Google Sheets. I send you the PNGs by private message.

Hi everyone ! I have a little problem with gamepad shortcuts when I want to quit some emulators. But my config is particular... The context : I installed Launchbox on a windows VM dedicated to gaming. This VM is hosted at home, on my personal server. (Unraid) That way I can play anywhere and only maintain one setup. (TV, laptop, desktop, handheld ...) To connect and play, I use Moonlight. Example 1 : at work (works) Win10 desktop + xBox One old gamepad (wireless with USB stick) >> Moonlight >> same Bigbox on VM (distant) Press "start+Select" quit Dolphin emulator 🆗 No problem. Example 2 : at home (dont work) Apple TV 4K + xBox One X last gamepad (wireless with bluetooth) >> Moonlight >> same Bigbox on VM (local) Press "start+Select" DONT quit Dolphin emulator. Act like "alt+tab" in windows. Strange ! Strangely, pressing "start" alone open the bigBox virtual keyboard popup! Only in this configuration oO' Same probleme if i use the "pause screen" option. I noticed this problem only with Dolphin! (up to date by the way) An idea? A Windows setting? (all "xbox game bar" stuff in win 10 are disabled) A BigBox setting? A compatibility issue with latest xBox controllers? I'm lost and it's painful every time my children start a game with Dolphin!

Hi, I have a small problem, impossible to connect to Launchbox database. I've lost my password. And entering my email for the recover does not work: no email received. this problem has been going on for months. How to do ?

Nice !!! 👍

BIG THX MAN! Yes. It's pretty but it's too slow in real use. @faeran, is it difficult to speed up the general transition animation on the PlatformView a bit? Difficult to add the platform name here. This space is reserved for games with long name! (see below) I'm trying to find another place for him! Yes, the PNG hardware set will be useful I think =) It will be updated at the same rate as the video set. I might make a special post for him, but it's hard to maintain. The color problem comes from the "categories" obviously. With a variant for Arcade, which takes the purple color of the platform. Indeed, this game has a very long name! @faeran, maybe reduce the size of the title font a little bit? No idea why =/ Maybe in next view I had advanced their development well. But Faeran regained control of the dev. We wanted to lay a solid foundation before creating a new view. This is the next step! (with adjustments to be snappier, faster) The platformview without video is still planned! The PNG hardware set was missing and it's now done! Yes you're right !

Yes, you're right. I hadn't noticed the problem because I use a video for all my games. @faeran There is a problem in gamesView. If there is no gameplay video, the screenshot is not displayed. Only a black screen. Sorry for not having seen it sooner! =/

Hi all ! With delay, here is the official theme v2 presentation! Again, HUGE THX to @faeran For his incredible work on this theme So, COLORFUL v2 is here ! # PlatformWheel1FiltersView New wheel with hardware image. General update of fonts and details polish. 100% new code from scratch. # PlatformWheel2FiltersView New wheel with hardware image. New button design. General update of fonts and details polish. 100% new code from scratch. # WheelGamesView 100% new code from scratch. # Wheel2GamesView 100% new code from scratch. # TextGamesView Complete new design. 100% new code from scratch. The big new feature of this v2 is mainly the all new foundations. The idea is to have a solid base to develop new views later. In this regard, I had the opportunity to test this theme with my family recently. And neither my wife nor my children had the patience to wait for the long animation of PlatformView. My conclusion is that my design is too flashy and not functional enough. So I'm going back to working on my designs for Faeran, with more functional, with less animation ones. Hope you like !
