There are backgrounds included as they are used on on the games views. The actual view where you choose a platform uses videos (preferably the unified ones) then once you select a platform the background you see is a image that matches the videos from the Platforms selection, this is done so that the actual game video of the currently selected game can be overlayed onto the background image, it is not possible to overlay a video on top of another video like that, so it has to be a static image with the gameplay snap overlayed on top. All those backgrounds were specifically edited in a way to have a blank section in them in which to overlay the gameplay videos.

Hmm, it shouldn't be any different, they are set up separately, but use the same code as i understand it. So if it works in Launchbox there is no reason why it wouldn't in Bigbox.

Automation needs to be setup in Bigbox as well. Launchbox and Bigbox are separate there.

I have just tested with the same startup video with no issues here unfortunately.

Rather than uninstalling you can re-install the latest version from your updates folder directly over the top of your current install.

I have just tested both the default themes here on my system, i use a startup video myself, and i cant replicate the issue either unfortunately.

You could also try the other included theme and see if you get the same problem there.

Its all about choice really, some people have multiple emulators for one system as some emus will run certain games better that others, so if adding a new emulator for a existing system suddenly changed the emulator for all your games in that platform then thats not a good way to handle it either. The "default" checkbox in the associated platform tab is used for all future imports for that system if checked, but it wont retroactively change what emulator is already set for that systems games.

Sounds like that platform isnt associated with a emulator. Click on one of the games then use ctrl A to highlight all of the games in that platform, then right click one and go to edit, then click next and in the first dropdown pick emulator, and in the second pick your mame, finish out the wizard. Also if you go to tools/manage emulators, double click mame and go to the associated platform tab make sue that the platform is listed there, and spelt exactly as it is in the left sidebar of Launchbox.

Gotcha, i thought you was talking about the View, Arrange by, and Tools menu options at first, apologies.

Oh my bad, you mean here right?? @Jason Carr The titles seem to be missing in beta 19, as highlighted in my image here.

Looks just fine for me.

Try deleting the VLC folder from your launchbox folder, launchbox will recreate it at next launch, see if that fixes it.

Well you can do both, a big zip for peeps who want them all, or individual for peeps who want to pick and choose, but thats entirely up to you.

FYI posting a file also automatically creates a support thread that is linked on the file download page, so yours is here,

Games that have problems importing into LB, will need to be imported individually. Akai Katana - akatana.zip Crossed Swords 2 - crswd2bl.zip KaGeKi - kagekiu.zip Sailormoon - sailormnnu.zip Wrestlefest - wwfwfestu.zip Games that have more than 1 rom file for 2 player or split screen variant. darius2 (3 screen) darius2d (2 screen) gauntlet (4 player) gauntlet2p (2 player) tmnt (4 player) tmnt2pj (2 player) xmen (4 player, 1 screen, pick any character) xmen6pu (6 player, 2 screen, coin slot determines character)

We dont have a specific place for that, but i would say here, https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/category/12-platform-bezelsoverlays/ Just make sure you say in the description/download title that they are fades and will only work with rocketlauncher.

I edited it so it shows.

The metadata and images is updated server side every 24 hours, so if its only just been approved it will appear in the data the following day. To force a metadata update simply edit a game so that it has to check for metadata and it will prompt you to automatically pull the newest metadata pack to your system.

Those preferences can be set in the box-front preferences, you just check the box for that image type and move it up the list to where you want it.

Those are just video themes that you are looking at there and are available from emumovies. Everything else you mention is downloaded from our database or emumovies. When you import you can choose what media you want to download via a load of checkboxes.

Correct, as long as your emumovies sub is premium also, the free version doesnt allow video downloading.

What resolution are you running at? This theme was designed for 1080p so if yours is different that will be the issue, there are a couple of other versions on the download page for 1280x720 and 1280x800, but if you are using a resolution that isnt any of those 3 its not going to display correctly.
