After adding about 1600 playlists LB now takes nearly 3 minutes to load, it used to only take about 20 seconds max to load. I think I'm going to have to delete some playlists. My CPU is a 4790k, I guess it's age is catching up to it.
I'd say having 1600 playlists qualifies as a 'fringe' use case.

Man, this is one of those times where the Launchbox downloads section desperately needs a "Download All" button
Awesome work, thanks so much for sharing. Looking forward to the release of the theme itself.

GreenGriffon - thank you for the link - I have made suggestions there also, though most of the discussion takes place on the forums and I therefore felt it warranted a mention.
Understandable, but it's a little tough to follow actual issues with the beta when people crowd this thread with requests simply because Jason is always here.
-
Guys, the beta thread isn't the place for requesting new features. If you want to see something implemented, please submit your request so that Jason can properly evaluate and prioritize the demand for each one.

LaunchBox should automatically prioritize which image to display if the Region field on the games are set correctly, even if each game shows both images in the list.
Sega Genesis boxart is horrendously co-mingled with MegaDrive, despite having my region priority set to US.
I imagine that has to get sorted out on the database end.

Yeah...I am from the US,so all systems will be US versions...the European and Japanese versions will all get done eventually too though
Terrific, thanks very much. I love the whole idea of expanding on the Unified theme, which has become my new favorite.
Really looking forward to your release, whenever it's ready.
-
If I missed it I apologize, but will you also be doing the American system variations? US SNES, Sega Genesis, TurboGrafx-16, etc?
This is really impressive work, thank you.
-
I've also already received the big new October Win10 feature update, so I appreciate the quick fix in beta.
I won't touch my cabinet until the official release drops, because I don't opt into betas for that.

Isaac is now the default...the mario/luigi one is still in the folder as an alt
Thank you! That one is a great choice, and much more consistent with the others.
The theme looks great by the way. I'm just starting to play with it now.

Those are each truly stunning pieces of work sir. Awesome!
I have one minor criticism if you're considering feedback. All of the mascots for each system look great. They're high-quality and make sense.
For GameBoy Advance however, that pic of Mario and Luigi looks oddly out of place. It looks like a much more amateurish illustration than the others. Hard to explain, but it just doesn't fit your other artwork.
Is it too late to choose another mascot pic for GBA? Since Mario and Luigi gets used to death, how about something else iconic for that system? For example, perhaps Pokemon/Pikachu, Samus from Metroid, or the hero from Golden Sun?
-
I'd be happy to test the theme for you as well.
And, thanks for your many creations. Very impressive work.

Also noticed another of my additions is displayed in the same section
On beta 3 btw
Edit the Sega Saturn platform in the left sidebar, and check in the "Parents" tab.
Make sure that you only have "Consoles" checked on that list.

Damn that sounds like a ton of work, I guess I better get started now lol. Thank you for finding a solution to this issue. ?
You might want to wait and see what Jason fixes for the next Beta before you dive in. He might already have something in the pipeline to resolve it.
I was having buddies over the next day and wanted my collection back to normal, otherwise I would have waited for a fix.

This explains my missing Favorites and Playlists categories. They weren't empty but have disappeared for some reason, and I get the error about it already existing when I try and add them. I can't wait for the fix that adds them to the root.
This happened to me as well. I had 2 custom categories for "Collections" and "Playlists", which despite having games in them disappeared with Beta 2. Multiple restarts didn't fix the problem.
I had to manually remove all references to them in Parents.xml and Platforms.xml before they reappeared. Then after I moved everything into others, I deleted these two categories, recreated them, then moved everything back into them.
Now it's working fine, but it was a confusing problem to resolve.

Except we would lose out on auto-generated playlists, correct?
No. If you update just the metadata for your existing MAME collection, your genres and such will be updated. This will allow them to be pulled into the new auto-populated playlists.
You also don't need to perform an import to create the playlists either. There's now an option in the menu.

And one little bug maybe. When i install new beta version for some reason launchbox launch like 10x10 pixel window and i must resize it and make it fullscreen. When i launch it manually it stays normal maximazed (full window). Anyway no big deal it is beta.
Same thing happened to me. I actually couldn't figure out why LB wasn't opening until I noticed the tiny box in the upper left corner of my screen. It blended in with my desktop background

Yes, that does make sense; I thought about that. I'm not sure if it should be a priority to change, but I'll probably get to it at some point.
No, definitely not a priority. Just a small, sensible tweak to add to the no doubt giant list.
Just look at it like pre-emptively squashing any potential support questions about it

Ah, the default background is shown because of the clear logo in the background. You can turn that off by disabling the clear logo image type in the background priorities.
That makes sense. Is that by design?
The reason I'm asking is, it would seem logical that if someone chose a custom background, the clear logo would be displayed in front of that as opposed to the default background.
Of course, I defer to your wisdom on the issue.

@GreenGriffon That's because of the number of maximum lines you have showing. Go to your settings.
Good call, that was the problem. The default was 2 lines, but that setting was cutting off the rest of the metadata.
Thank you @Kevin_Flynn!

@Jason Carr - Just noticed a bug in the current beta.
When games in LB.Next are sorted by Star Rating, games that do in fact have community ratings (and even a substantial number of them) do not display those ratings in the text under the boxart / game tile.
If you look at my example, SNES Legend of Zelda has 298 community votes and a rating of 4.74. The game tile on the left displays no community rating whatsoever. This appears to be a common problem with other titles as well.
Thanks,
GG

Nice to be able to press I to view the images fullscreen in BigBox. Would be good to have a keyboard button to view video fullscreen too in BigBox.
You can already assign a button for that in the controller options.

I actually like the original Night Mode best. You're providing a convincing illusion of light dispersion, without washing out the detail or coloration in the original artwork.
If I had to pick a different option, it would be Mode #3 where the effect is at least minimized.
Awesome work, thanks again for keeping this project going.

Hey guys,
I made a set with 12 different options for the NES and SNES Classic Editions using official Nintendo logos and Viking's Silver Ring template. Just a few of the variants are shown below.
Hope you enjoy them.

I'm also in agreement that VLC should be updated as soon as possible.
