    Extract, and into Launchbox/Plugins, you may have to right click the .dll's and select properties, then unblock.

    Yeah my question here is if your bigbox takes lets say 20 seconds to load, but your video is only 15 seconds, then you will have 5 seconds of black screen at the end of the video.

    OK, was just a random thought I had. @eatkinola are you threading any of this behind the scenes? Could it be trying to use threads that are not available? Not a coder so apologies, just some random thoughts.

    I think you are misunderstanding what is happening here, if not then apologies. The point of the startup videos is to give you something nice to watch while Bigbox loads behind the scenes. I am guessing in your case that Bigbox takes longer to load than the length of the video, so you are left with a black screen as Bigbox finishes loading. Try copying your startup folder out of the video folder and timing how long Bigbox actually takes to load.

    Yeah I am only seeing it on WMP, VLC is fine. So strange. I do have VLC installed on my system also, not just the one in the launchbox folder, shouldn't be any different, just a thought.

    Hi and welcome to the community. I am actually with you on this as I would like to hide my Arcade platform, as I have them all in separate playlists. The best place for feature requests is at the top of the page here, Help&Support then Request feature.

    I think he was talking actual real hardware there, but I could be wrong.

    Good call @Retro808, see that's what happens when you actually get someone knowledgeable on the subject to help out.
  9. neil9000
    Hmm very strange, we are both seeing similar but at the same time very different issues.

    Are they xinput over Bluetooth @Retro808?
  11. neil9000
    I believe the 8bitdo controllers actually use dinput don't they? I think to make them xinput you have to buy there wireless dongle and connect that to your PC and sync to it. I have never tried a dinput controller in Launchbox/Bigbox but I thought that they were supported. Hopefully someone who actually owns one can chime in with some advice here.

    Nice add for music box alpha on the welcome screen. Makes sense.

    @eatkinola Here is a quick video with the exhausted issue, also note at the start of the video I get quite a long freeze when switching from snes to taito, the snes background and video play for a long time after I switch to taito.

    I have actually seen this myself on WMP, I was using VLC and all was well but thought I should check WMP also. The second I swapped it and quit back out of the options no videos would play at all, I had the "media players exhausted" message on every single background. I switched back to VLC and no issues.

    Its probably showing a black screen simple because Bigbox hasn't loaded yet so it just shows black until the program is ready.
  16. neil9000
    WMP does not natively play webm which is what the steam videos are, you will need a codec pack.

    Go to view and click button bar.

    I have deleted your duplicate thread. As @DOS76 said please don't create multiple threads with the same question, one is sufficient as we have a good community here and if someone can answer your question they will.
  19. neil9000
    Phew, good to hear you are up and running now.
  20. neil9000
    That should bring you up to date, although I am still concerned as to why your system won't allow the .net update in the first place. It's a newer version so should install and overwrite your current version. The fact that it's saying you don't meet the recommended specs is concerning.
  21. neil9000
    mine is 1709.
  22. neil9000
    That's old.
  23. neil9000
    Here is mine.
  24. neil9000
    Yeah, that's why I am so confused.
  25. neil9000
    OK, I am going to tag @Jason Carr into this, cause at the moment I am really confused as to why it wont install at all, hopefully his coding brain will have some advice.
