hey, as title says i'm wondering if there is any possible way to switch button inputs from button 2 --> 3 or anything similiar?
Since "A" on my controllers have different "buttons" assigned to them and you can't configure multiple controllers in bigbox i thought perhaps you could change the buttons input alltogether?

hey, so i've been having the trouble of having to adjust the deadzone for all of my controllers with each emulator, which there are a lot of. Also for some you can only adjust the deadzone for all controllers simultaneously which is okay but not prefered. I'm wondering if theres any 3rd party software which can adjust the deadzone for all of my controllers simultaneously, so i don't have to configure every single emulator i have?
thanks in adv

Quick question; None of my games gets their "series" tab filled with anything, is this a bug or are you just supposed to manually enter it yourself?
Might be posting this in the wrong forum section (?)

Yeah this would be great once it gets implemented.

just updated. hopefully this should fix the problem.
I added a new colum to the sql database. so it is vital that you run the update database, I would recommend deleting the database under
Kodi\userdata\addons\plugins.video.bigbox\database.db
Just thought i'd update my situation. Removed and re-downloaded BigBox addon under your repo in kodi (assumed that i didn't need to update the repo for it to work). Also removed the database file before this. I setup everything as before but i still get the same issue. I have a lot of games on the pc i tested it on, so i gave it a try on my other pc with 10-20 games, no issues there ('exact' same kodi installed on the two pcs).

Yea, that could work if we hooked it up to the Database for example, but the only problem is that one size does not fit all. So the issue then becomes, who moderates and add's this because I am learning the more people that work on stuff, the more complicated and messed up it becomes. @Vlansix is trying to help solve some of those issues on the Database, but majority can't rule on this one. Compatibility also needs to come along with a users PC Spec, LB version, Emulator version, etc. This is a good idea, but how do we manage it.
Indeed if this is an official integration into Launchbox i'd imagine PC Specs, Emulator version etc would be included. But honestly in my opinion i would just want to see if my game runs good or bad with not many details and I think just the Star/rating Feature for Compatibility would alone be greatly appreciated by a lot of people.

Im going to rewrite the code over the weekend. there is a problem with the way I create items. i cannot pass strange characters wich is becoming more and more of a problem. Im going to be rewriting the code to pass the rom id aswell as normalize the game names, hopefully this will fix allot of bugs.
Sounds good, looking forward to the update

It seems to be picking up a problem with one of your platform xmls. Can you upload your data folder?
Here.
Data.rar

I actually solved this, i had made copies of the files before called "windows - copy" and "windows - copy 2" etc. Apparently even though i deleted the normal default "windows" xml file launchbox automatically took information from "windows - copy" which concluded in me not being able to make any configurations to my windows games.
I now packed all my copies into another folder so launchbox doesn't mix them up.

Hey, every time i try to "update database" i get an error message - this is in my kodi.log

I'm sure it would be fine with the more "main stream" emulators like Dolphin, PPSSPP or maybe the Retroarch cores but once you dive into the lesser known or not so "kept up to date" emulators like SSF it becomes a nightmare.
yeah definitely, but if just focusing on the more known emulators then this would be amazing

Nice idea but my god it would be time consuming to keep it up to date. You would have to know each and every version of every emulator and its compatibility lists.
Of course someone will come along with a plugin that does it and prove me wrong
If its connected to the emulators wikis it wouldn't require any update, if thats even possible to begin with. Also i'm guessing that it would just use the newest version or 'stable release' of the emulator
-
hey, i've always had troubles with a few of my "newer" consoles and their games when it comes to checking if they work. I've noticed emulator such as Project64, Dolphin and a few others already got integrated compatibility list for the games you've listed, with notes of issues and possible fixes for them. It looks something like this or this.
I was thinking if theres a way to create a plugin, or perhaps an official integration into launchbox where you can view (depending on your emulator) notes / playable status for each game. Since there is wikis for most of the emulators with compatibility lists I'm guessing that's where this feature would be connected towards.
An example how it COULD look inside Bigbox:
This would personally save me so much time.
EDIT: I made an bitbucket request so if you want it to be more seen please vote here.

Every time i try to delete the windows.xml and relaunch launchbox it just reappears and all the games are there again, it's like its super glued.. Also, i can't really import all my PC games again, i have a TON of configurations for each of my 70 ish games which took me a really long time to set-up.
any other ideas?
-
Hey, so i'm having a problem where from nowhere my windows games are stuck. To explain further, whenever i delete for example Crysis 2 it just reappears after closing and opening Launchbox. I've tried deleting the games multiple times, as well as other games within "Windows" but it still just reappears, this goes for any changes like changing video, images or information etc.
Tried restarting my pc & this issue only appears in windows section, no games outside are affected. I'm using the latest 7.10 version of launchbox (beta disabled).
help?

Hey, this is the third suggestion of my little collection
First of all a little GIF of an example (afterFX game on point):
Be able to select the boxart of a game and click to switch sides. Perhaps same thing for pausing and playing the gameplay video.
I'm not too familiar with coding (getting there), but i imagine there would be a lot of implications for this, like the code needing to be an adjusted for each theme's view because of the different video/boxart placement. But this would be amazing to have inside BigBox to replace the dull flip box/fullscreenvideo text.
Tell me what you think

Also, the technical writer in me really wants @Jason Carr to group all of those "View" menu items under the one heading and have them as a sub menu.
Was actually gonna post about this but i imagined that is already was a popular opinion. Did a little photoshopped image of how it would look though

Hey, this will be the second suggestion of a few i have in mind.
I sometimes go crazy not being able to select what game i would like to play, just thought a tool like this would help people like me with their eternal struggle.
Explanation: Develop the 'genre' page further or just a new page called something like "game finder" in the bigbox menu to help you find games. For example to have another submenu inside genre that asks the questions YOU want, which can for example be "years", "star rating" or other metadata your launchbox collect information from. This would fit perfectly if we'd finally get our desired community star rating system (!!)
example:
Let me know what you think

The theme I'm using has a way of showing a specific controller per game/per platform. I've been using it for PC games to let me know if it's controller or keyboard based.
I've also been using it to label buttons on games. Like in this screenshot, because I have a PS1 controller/USB adapter, but not a genesis one, it's letting me know how it's mapped if I wanna play Mortal Kombat 3. I'm sure that this is something you can do at the theme level, but I don't know how to do it myself, outside of dropping them into a folder in this theme.
This is really cool, although the theme im using really only has place for an icon as showed in my first screenshot. Otherwise i would definitly use this method

hey, i'll jump straight into showing my photoshopped image of an example:
The image should explain itself but..
Most of us don't use the original controllers for each platform, and even some games like most windows games have very different controllers scheme. So me for example use 3 different controllers for windows games, would be amazing to have an icon and an option in launchbox to set the games to show what controller the game requires, (& perhaps another option to set a desired platform to default a controller)
I guess this could also be made into a plugin, doesn't have to be official now that we have plugin support?
Just thought i'd share my thoughts, yesturday i went through a few of my ideas & i'll be posting more when i see fit.
thanks in adv

wow, looked through my whole Bigbox but totally blacked out about the fact that theres configurable options in the launchbox app too. My bad thanks!
-
As title says, the clearlogos i have are used as background in my filter options (genres/playmodes/developer etc..) Would be amazing to just be able to use my own folder, or atleast the only Fan-art backgrounds since they're all 720p / 1080p. Really annoying getting a stretched 320x240 clearlogo or screenshot from gameplay (old systems usually) as background.
Just wanted to put this out there, would be amazing with a fix.
edit: accessible through the priorities menu in "tools>options" inside launchbox.exe
Does anyone have a good way of reducing file size of multiple videos?
in Platform Media
Posted
Looking for a way to reduce my 60 video files to a smaller size, since i can tell they're lagging when shown in BigBox, I have a way of doing it one by one. But that's way to time consuming.
thanks in advance.
