    I totally agree. It's pretty crazy to think about what it can do and how much fun it is to mess around with. Of course, my wife probably wishes I never found it.

    Yeah. I probably out of habit asked to not be on the mailing list when I initially downloaded Launchbox, not realizing how huge of a deal this dumb program was going to be to me. (Haha)! Thanks again.

    I found my email settings and it looked like I wasn't on the mailing list. I'm guessing that's why I never hear about the voting.
  4. bbweiners
    Ahhh, that does help, thank you. For some reason I've never received an email about anything.

    I'm not sure where to go/how to vote for new features for future versions of Launchbox. I'm sure it's simple and obvious, I just haven't figured it out yet. Also, is there somewhere that shows all of the ideas/requests for future releases? Thanks!

    Yeah. I'm a bit slow.

    I agree with making it clear that BigBox would not be a part of the Linux development. I voted in favor of Linux development not realizing that. I probably would have changed my vote if I knew otherwise at the time. I also had Raspberry Pi in the back of my head as well. I just assumed that would be part of the Linux package.

    I like the Linux idea. If it makes fiscal sense, I'd say to go for it. However, I completely agree with trying to add some Rocketlauncher features. A fade in/out screen would be awesome. I would also love the emulator controls overlay that Rocketlauncher has. (So you could have universally mapped save/load state keys for all emulators and other universal key mappings).

    Well, at least I have a couple of things I can mess around with now. Thanks!

    Just in case you're not aware, they're both Sega Saturn emulators.

    SSFLoader launches a small window that looks really stupid. It probably takes about 5 seconds before it goes away and starts up the game. I'm trying to get around the ugly transition. I'd use Mednafen through Retroarch, but my computer isn't nearly fast enough to use that emulator.

    Hi, Is it possible to play a short video while a game is loading? I know about RocketLauncher, but it doesn't currently work with SSFLoader, only SSF. Thanks

    It happens for me in Rincewind when it switches between platforms that use wide and fullscreen videos.
  14. bbweiners
    Neil9000 is correct. That is exactly what is happening to me.

    It seems like Windows Media Player is the only fix right now. It just stinks since the placement of widescreen and fullscreen videos are different from each other when I use it instead of VLC. But, I have noticed other themes don't have that issue. So, I guess I'll just need to learn XAML better to fix the issue with my theme. Thanks for the reply.

    Hi All, My issue is Attract Mode after about 24-36 hours uses all of my system memory. This has happened multiple times since I started using the feature about a week ago. I'm getting an error message. I don't remember the exact verbiage, but it's something to the effect of, Windows is almost out of memory. I tried switching to Windows Media Player, but that doesn't seem like a good fix since it messes up video alignment between full and widescreen videos. Meaning, I can edit my theme to play videos with proper alignment for full or widescreen videos, but not both. Big Box version 7.14 Windows 7 4gb of memory VLC as video player Thank You

    Also, remoting in to do this would probably be a big pain. (Haha).

    Yeah, the fix only works on the views with the RetroTV wallpaper. I actually like that 16:9 videos have the black bars at the top and bottom. It's just like it used to be on the old tube TV's. If you want to get the videos to display correctly on the other views, you'll have to play with these values: Grid.Row=" " Grid.Column=" " Grid.ColumnSpan=" " Grid.RowSpan=" " Grid Row affects vertical positioning. Grid Column affects Horizontal positioning. Grid.ColumnSpan and Grid.RowSpan affect the size.

    I'm not sure if there are any other views that use, the old retro TV wallpaper, with a video playing inside it. If there are, it will work on any of those.

    BoxesGamesView.xaml is the file that it works for.

    Hi, I love your theme. I've been messing around with it and created a platform view that compliments the BoxesGamesView. I'm happy to upload it if you're interested. As far as the video issues, I had the same problems others are having. Some of my videos played and fit correctly inside the TV and others didn't. What I found fixes the problem on any screen that plays the video inside the TV image is to replace the current lines of video code with this -- Example: BoxesGamesView.xaml -- replace the current lines -- <!-- VIDEO BACKGROUND --> <Viewbox Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="4" Grid.ColumnSpan="7" Grid.RowSpan="8" Stretch="UniformToFill" > <transitions:TransitionPresenter TransitionSelector="{Binding ImageVideoTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding ImageVideoView}" IsContentVideo="true"/> </Viewbox> with this -- <!-- VIDEO BACKGROUND --> <transitions:TransitionPresenter Grid.Row="1" Grid.RowSpan="8" Grid.Column="4" Grid.ColumnSpan="7" TransitionSelector="{Binding ImageVideoTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding ImageVideoView}" IsContentVideo="true" /> I hope this helps some people out.
