    @X1pheR no, I've not had time to work on it. I should remove the download. If I ever get around to it, I could post it again.
  2. eatkinola
    It's not, but I should have time to work on it again soon, once I finish a work project with a dec 31 deadline.

    I had a working plugin prior to the .NET core migration of LaunchBox. I'm trying to get it working again; hopefully soon. It's in the Ao.Bigbox Customs download.
  4. eatkinola
    That sucks man. I hope you are able to sort this all out soon so you can get back to your collection.

    @NRJMons, @retro6: Thanks for reporting the bug. This plugin has not worked since about LB version 10 when LB/BB was moved from .NET to .NET Core. There are some breaking changes there I've not yet sorted out. I've not had time to work on this in a while and have been very busy with work, so the plugin will not likely be fixed anytime soon.

    Thank you very much. I will take a look at it when I have a bit more time.

    Does WMP also look faded with other themes (that do not use my plugin)? Shouldn't ScrollSpeed be in quotes, i.e., ScrollSpeed="10"? Does it not work when speed is set to "1"? Your ScrollDelayBeg is 13.5 seconds, but I assume you're waiting that amount of time to see if anything appears.

    Strange the view still works though it pops up these errors. I use VS 2019 to develop the plugin library, but I develop the themes outside of VS just using notepad. Interesting. I've never noticed that before, though I always run using WMP. Could it have to do with the codecs you use for WMP? I just use the default codecs bundled with Windows 10. I use this feature in most of my themes -- for example in Refaktor I set the speed to 3 and it works fine. How else is your marquee setup? I could take a look if you want to send some xaml I can test on my system.

    Do you also define aoc=".....Controls;assembly=...." at the top of the xaml? No, there should not be anything else you need to do. If you want to pm me your view/theme, I can take a look.

    With 3.9.7, you shouldn't need that Ignores... property, but if you still do let me know. 3.9.7 fixed a similar problem in MinimalX so I thought it'd also fix your theme. Thank you for clarifying. If we add an ellipsis to truncate the string, would it still need to scroll? Yes, that is correct. Resetting on each selection would be a workaround. I will have to try it; my initial concern is it would slowdown the list too much but would have to try it.

    As a workaround for the disappearing problem, try adding this property to the MarqueeTextBlock, works for me: IgnoreAutopauseListeners="True" I looked at the other "this" post. Would you please clarify what you mean by ellipsis (...)? Are you asking for ellipsis on the scroll text block even though it scrolls? EDIT: You can use the IgnoreAutopauseListeners workaround for now, but I did find a fix that will be in the updated library.

    More information about ""
    Looks like you're halfway there -- you defined your new platform category in Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_7a.dll.config. Next, you need to add this platform category to Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_7a-Colors.dll.config, e.g.: <add key="Category.MICROSOFT_WINDOWS" value="(hex color code of your choice)" /> The same process is used to define colors for platforms and playlists: (1) make sure your named category, platform, or playlist has a mapping in the main assembly configuration file, then (2) make sure there is a color for this mapping defined int the Colors config file.

    More information about ""
    @viking @kidshoalin - Sounds like good troubleshooting advice, viking. Mapping the platforms to colors requires that Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_7a.dll.config file. There is no way to guess how a user would have setup and named their platforms and categories, hence the need for an editable configuration file.
  18. eatkinola
    Please post a screenshot of what it looks like currently on your setup. Sound like it works on your setup with certain situations but not others. For the playlist that displays with the platforms ... would you please describe what you mean or perhaps post screenshots or a video. I like screenshots; they usually help me understand the issue better.
  19. eatkinola
    I'll just add my two cents in case it helps. I don't have any idea why this would be occurring only with themes using Ao.Bigbox.Themer, and it sounds like it also occurs with the default BigBox theme on occasion (phew!). Ao.Bigbox.Themer does not capture any keyboard inputs, it leaves that up to BigBox. Furthermore, Ao.Bigbox.Themer only processes keyboard input insofar as it's supplied via IBigBoxThemeElementPlugin, e.g., PageUp, PageDn, Select, Back, Enter, Escape bindings.

    Hmm ... that's a strange one. I'm now seeing the same thing when I use aoc:MarqueeTextBlock in MinimalX, so I don't think it's related to its use in AutoscrollListBox. I'll look into it.
  21. eatkinola
    Hey viking. I don't have a plugin that currently does that, but it sounds like there is already one in the Pasc theme that would work. If not, let me know and I can put something together; would be pretty easy.

    I see what you mean -- you should be able to get it working with these three settings in Styles.xaml: <System:String x:Key="AOMetadataSideToggle">AOMetadataFadeSide_ON</System:String> <System:String x:Key="AOSelectorSideToggle">AOSelectorFadeSide_ON</System:String> <System:String x:Key="AOMetadataOtopToggle">AOMetadataFadeTop_TEMP</System:String> AOMetadataOtopToggle must be set to _TEMP. This is a bug -- you shouldn't have to set it to _TEMP, but doing so should make it work like you expect. For this feature to work, you have to use use Big Box settings > Options > Videos > (check) Use Random Game Videos for Missing Platform Videos. This feature respects that setting.

    I'll pm you some C# code.

    Thanks for the information, Richard. That is very helpful -- unfortunately, I've not yet been able to replicate this problem on my computer. I did find some intermittent problems when using Vulkan (bezels were not showing up, though it did find the emulator process). Attached are screenshots of my graphics settings in dolphin. Perhaps you could test with these settings on your computer? I'll have to dig into this problem some more, probably examine the code a bit more closely.

    @Android16 @neil9000 @Jason Carr Thanks for the notice and feedback. I did try to leverage BB's video control in the past, but it did not provide the capabilities to do what I wanted. Regarding my plugin, I've been recommending WMP for awhile because I find it works better (for my plugin and themes, anyway). Jason continues to make some nice improvements to LB/BB, and he does his best to maintain compatibility with existing plugins and themes, but sometimes these plugins and themes just need a little tlc in the way of updates. I'll try to work on it this weekend. EDIT: Okay that was an easy fix; just a path change for the new ThirdParty subfolder. I've been meaning to put out an updated version of the plugin and themes for awhile. I'll roll this fix into that, and hopefully I can work on the releases this weekend or later this month. It's a bit hectic here, however; in the thick of it with pandemic contingencies, and my job is not one where I can shelter in place and catch up on stuff around the house.
