  1. I'm asking because I am experiencing significant lag using both Launchbox and Bigbox over the network, to the point where it corrupts the image caching (and possibly other data). PC: Motherboard: Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3950X Memory: G.SKILL 32GB 3800 MHZ GPU: GeForce RTX 2080 TI Network: Realtek 2.5GbE Disk: SSD 960 PRO M.2 2TB Home Server: CPU: AMD Threadripper 2950X Memory: 128 GB ECC Network: 10GbE Disk: SSD 860 EVO 4TB x 6 Connection is LAN and wired. Average read and write speed is 200 mb/s. Without saying, this drops significantly for large number of small files. Am I right to think that Launchbox should be local and to only store the emulators and roms on the network? Edit: Secondly, if people are not using Launchbox over the network, how are you synching it across multiple machines? Rsync, Deltacopy, (software) etc.?
  2. LaunchBox seems to already be loading an image for those that have a default device image in Launchbox/Images/Platforms/Devices so it's not that i'm asking to populate a blank page but to provide a more suitable default image, again a suggestion. Jason would be able to confirm if this is the default behavior of what I believe occurs when VLC crashes, or a bug, etc. Could it be a setting I have enabled? I do see your point if you're concerned about the size of the stills. See attached for an example. This is unfortunately a mockup as I was unable to reproduce it today but it occurred multiple times yesterday. After playing around I was able to reproduce it when I removed the video (or prevented BigBox from finding it). The default behaviour seems to fall back to the Device image in Launchbox/Images/Platforms/Devices. See attached. I could have sworn I encountered this on a platform where there was a video, but it failed to load, and only loaded after I switched platforms and back.
  3. Great work! I love everything from color choices to layout. I can't wait to see how this grows. Note: I have noticed that videos tend to not always load and as a result, reverts to the device image. If I may suggest adding 'stills' of each video as part of the theme: Colorful/Images/Platforms/Device
  4. It's not a Playlist it's a Platform and Platforms are required to be in Platform Category. Platform Categories can not contain games themselves.
  5. I haven't tried the beta yet. Is it possible to skip a platform / playlist if there's only one option? Nintendo - - - Nintendo Entertainment System (SKIP) - - - - - - Game 1 - - - - - - Game 2 - - - - - - Game 3 For instance, I have a Pinball category; however, only one Platform - Pinball FX - I don't want to asked what platform as the wheel is just repeated.
  6. I believe if you launch a game through Launchbox / Bigbox it will halt the process until the game is terminated (reducing the cpu usage). It is known that Launchbox is CPU / memory intensive. Time to upgrade the machine. For everyone else, it would also be good to know the specs of your machine as well as the operating system.
  7. Thanks Jason! Does anyone know if Custom Fields are callable in Views? If so, any chance we can see them in Playlists, Platforms, and Platform Categories? For Example, in Chicuelo I had to use an existing field inside the Platform to get a custom header which could have been solved with Custom Field.
  8. Except we would lose out on auto-generated playlists, correct?
  9. Isn't that completely useless? Who imports the full set. Edit: There's far more people who do partial imports than full.
  10. I simply can't believe how beautiful and on-point it is. Matches PLEX exactly! keep it up Grilla! Is it possible to add bottom margins to the scroll bar (to match the top)?
  11. Has anyone created or know where I can find artwork for the following: Chrono Trigger: Flames of Eternity Chrono Trigger: Prophet's Guile Dragoon x Omega II Mario Adventure Final Fantasy VI: Brave New World
  12. That's counterintuitive of how an auditing should work; however, that fixed it! Thank you.
  13. Bug: Is image auditing broken for anyone else? 2D and 3D Box Images are including images from both categories, 3D Cart Images should be 0, etc.
  14. Bug: When a Playlist is added as a Platform Category SelectedPlatform.TotalGameCount is always 0. Edit: I'm not sure if this is intended or has always been the case. This is the first time using a Playlist. This is also an auto-populated one.
  15. I've encountered that issue as far as I can remember; however, as I don't access the options menu once it's setup correctly I haven't raised it. The solution is to click on "View Platforms".
  16. Hey @Mr. RetroLust - Any chance you can share your Arcade platform clear logo?
  17. @GreenGriffon That's because of the number of maximum lines you have showing. Go to your settings.
  18. Did it lines 40 and 46 in PlatformWheel1FiltersView.xaml Much snappier. Great skin!
  19. I found something in the documentation. Essentially replace "Active" with "Selected". I suggest only on the platform view. Data Binding Properties for Root Filters/Platforms Views SelectedPlatform vs. ActivePlatform Please note that with the below properties, anywhere SelectedPlatform is used, ActivePlatform can be used instead. ActivePlatform will wait for the selection to be completely updated before updating, while SelectedPlatform will update immediately upon selecting a new platform
  20. Works like a charm! Thanks for v1.2! May I suggest you use that other scroll type for the platform list. The one where it updates every click? It feels unresponsive as the only items that don't change are the name of the platform and # of available games. Anyone have a suggestion for the SoundPack?
  21. Is there suppose to be a font included? Fonts are system default.
  22. @Mute64 ... jelly. Any chance you are willing to share that intro and/or the batch to run the video in front?
  23. aha I'm no fanboy as there are a lot of things I disagree with to. For instance, the filtering is too limited. I recommended the ability to do things like: (1 AND 2) OR (3 AND 4) but was told it would be 'too complicated' for users. I'd also prefer content that is downloaded to retain their no intro names or at least filename of the game. Currently, I import my artwork and videos manually. Features keep getting bumped out without polishing existing ones. It's a good product nonetheless. Try RetroFE. Less features, but it's open source (free).
  24. I don't have any plugins installed and the last time I've imported any games was > 6 months ago.
  25. @Jason Carr No filters.. just scrolled through the library. Again, I can revert back to latest stable and not have it crash. Let me know if I can help troubleshoot any further.
