Not sure how much help these are, but good luck with your theme.

You will need to point a game to an m3u file, and the m3u file would contain the multiple tracks. The m3u file itself would contain just a basic list of all the tracks, one line per track. As far as normalization, you'll need to use a music program to do that to the tracks themselves.

Can you run Tools > Download > Force Update Games Database Metadata... Then try again.

You would need to adjust the animation time within the xaml code itself. Depending on the view you want to adjust, you would open up that xaml file, find the relevant animation storyboards and adjust times.

For people that might be interested: Lambda uses a slightly modified version of the old box grid from the old default theme where it sets a set height for everything, and you are beholden to that size. Default Plus is simply just Default with some minor changes, so it works just like current Default which dynamically reduces white space on a per-row basis. Beats uses a hybrid that takes on the dynamic reduction of white space, but vertically centers the images, and aligns the rest of the elements (like text) evenly on a per-row basis. All of this is theme specific and requires changes to the code.

Hmm, this still points to some kind of data file issue. What it could be, I'm not entirely sure. If you want, PM me your data files and when I get some time, I can look into it for you.

3-DIMENSIONS View File A showcase of the new 3-D Box Models in Big Box. This theme contains 8 game views, each with its own unique 3-D box model wheel layout. This theme can be utilized by theme developers as a way to learn how the new FlowModel works within and without a FlowControl. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask within the comments section of this file. Submitter faeran Submitted 11/16/2022 Category Custom Themes  

Beta 4 is now out with the following changes: Improvement: Added the following new bindings to the Big Box FlowControl - MinimumAnimationSpeed, DelaySelectedItemAnimation, EasingFunction, SelectedItemEasingFunction (for theme devs) Fixed: Potential error in Big Box attract mode caused by badgers (er, badges) Fixed: Potential missing videos when scraping EmuMovies for the Arcade platform Fixed: The premium message in Add/Edit Platform 3D Model tab was always displayed Fixed: Add/Edit Platform Folder tab didn't list the new image types At this point, we are gearing up towards an official release, so thanks to all for helping test this version. There were a lot of great ideas discussed by you guys and internally on our team for the new 3D Box Models. We will be looking to continue to expand on the 3D Box Model feature in future versions, so submitting bitbucket tickets and voting for the ones you want to see most is much appreciated.

This could be because of some weirdness going on with your ListCache.xml file. Close out LaunchBox (wait for it to remove from your processes), go into LaunchBox\Data and delete your ListCache.xml file. Reopen LaunchBox and run your Arcade media download again and see if it's any different.

For the default theme, this is an option that you turn on, either from the text button in the button's bar, or under View > Show / Hide > Text on All Games While the default theme will most likely remain this way, it's extremely customizable through theming, and a number of themes do this differently.

Right click the arcade platform in the side menu. You'll find it there.

Can you switch to a different theme and tell us if you are still seeing that.

The MAME High Scores feature is based on your LaunchBox Games Database account. Your friend would have to create an account and be signed into your LaunchBox in order to submit the high score. Alternatively, you could sign yourself out while others are playing, so that no high score is logged.

You can have one game exist in more than one playlist. Depending on how you imported your games, and depending on how you set up your playlists can change the way you do this. However, that one game entry cannot dynamically switch media depending on where you are viewing it in your library.

The first problem you have is that you posted a platform wheel view. Are you trying to adjust a platform view, or a game's vertical wheel view? If it's the game view, I gave you the name of the file above. I also gave you the property to change: StretchVideo

This is theme specific. The author of the theme has decided to stretch the videos in those views within the xaml code itself. This is a choice that theme creators make when building their themes, and it sounds like the author decided to stretch videos for that particular view. You could make the change yourself, but you would have to edit the theme files to do so. Open the Wheel4GamesView.xaml for that theme, and there's probably a property that says StretchVideo="True". Change that to false.

Beta 2 is out now with the following changes: New Premium Feature: LaunchBox now supports 3D models for boxes as well; they are available in most existing themes in the Game Details panel and can be rotated with a mouse or a controller New Feature: 3D model settings are now available as platform-specific settings under Tools > Manage > Platforms in LaunchBox. Each platform now has a new "3D Model Settings" tab that lets you customize everything from what type of box to use to the sizing and coloring of the boxes. Fixed: The Big Box Theme Manager should once again be accessible (introduced in 13.0 beta 1)

Can you be more specific about which platforms you are seeing this happen with? So far you've mentioned arcade games. Also, when you run tests, can you do it on the same small subset of games, and do it multiple times and see if you get the same results each time.

You would have to essentially create a copy of the default theme, dive into that view's files and make a code change. Basically: Make a copy of the LaunchBox\Themes\Default folder, and give the copy a new name. Navigate into your theme folder, and into the Views folder, and open PlatformWheel1FiltersView.xaml Find the coverFlow:FlowControl element and change the Endless property to False: Endless="False"

This all depends on what theme you are using. Certain themes are hard coded to stretch the video by the theme's author, while others are not.
