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.
