    11.13 Beta Testing

    in Beta Testing

    Posted · Edited by bbweiners

    @C-Beats

    I'm not sure if this is the case or not. But can you now on PlatformViews be able to go from a HorizontalWheelView and navigate to the recently played games and/or favorites that populate if they are enabled?

    Right now you can only navigate to recent games or favorites if you're using a VerticalWheel or Textview.

    Thanks!

    Beta 2 is now live with the following changes:

    • Improvement - ScummVM has been upgraded to version 2.2.0 and updated the ScummVM game drop down list to include the new titles it now supports
    • Improvement - NavigationDirection binding was moved from FlowControl to the actual Game/Platform view to allow more views to use it
    • Improvement - Adjusted Big Box FlowControl rendering to help with visual artifacts and performance on lower end machines
    • Improvement - Added a "IsNotEmpty" playlist field to Auto-Populate playlist
    • Fixed - Auto-Populate fields "Doesn't Contain" and "Has At Least One of" should now function as intended (introduced in 11.13 beta 1)
    • Fixed - Can now Download Platform Videos from EmuMovies again (introduced in 11.11)
    • Fixed - In Big Box when platforms would play fallback game videos, it would only use VideoSnaps, it now respects your Video Type Priority settings
    • Fixed - Playlists wouldn't always fallback to images of games inside of the playlist
    • Fixed - Adding logic to help with the EmuMovies 404 error while downloading media

    Could you elaborate a bit on - 

    • Improvement - NavigationDirection binding was moved from FlowControl to the actual Game/Platform view to allow more views to use it

    Thanks!

    We do not recommend skraper at all, in fact we discourage people from using it, it has a nasty habit of borking peoples xml files.

    Agreed. It has done that to mine.

    So What I do is backup my data folder, run it, have it put all images to directories independent of Launchbox and then copy the data folder back.

    After that I'll just go sift through everything it's scraped and add in what I like.

    So no, it's not real fast. But if you're cool amassing a bunch of images and going through them, it works.

    I know many of us have chatted about using bounties to see the features we want implemented. Well, I'm hoping someone bites.

    I would love a media search (google images / Youtube videos) plugin that would help fill the holes in my database.

    I've created a rough mock-up below of what it could like and the functionality it would have. 

    Even if we could only get the "Image" part working - it would improve my workflow tremendously.

    I'm sure I overlooked and missed important details - no doubt the community will be quick to point them out.

    I am 100% willing to pay in advance and not concerned about the aesthetics of the plug-in / just functionality. I am happy with the honor system (I've been a long-time user and have contributed in different ways whenever I could)

    If anyone is interested in chipping in just comment below / If anyone has feedback  just comment below / 

    MOST IMPORTANTLY - if anyone is interested in creating this - PLEASE LET ME KNOW!.

    @Jason Carr @C-Beats WallView with FlowVideo enabled still has the issue where rows will move closer together (overlap each other) and further apart if you navigate up and then down. Or, down and then up.

    It becomes very obvious the less space that you have between rows. If you use the default theme with WallView2 and adjust the theme so there's less space between the rows, you'll see it happen pretty quickly.

    If willing, could you turn on debug logging and try to reproduce it. When it happens then close out of Big Box and PM me the most recent log file in the \\Launchbox\Logs\ folder. I'll see if there anything I can use in there to see what may be happening.

    I can, hopefully today. Where do I turn on debug?

    Is it happening consistently for the same game (like does the same game SOMETIMES work when you come back or does it always fail)

    It's pretty random. Nothing consistent I can find yet.

    @bbweiners I'm not having that problem on my end, but I admit we have had several corrections to the code since the beta 6 release. @Jason Carr plans on releasing another beta today. Would it be possible for you to verify you still have the issue after that is released? Also just so I can confirm, is this happening to you while using WMP or VLC as your video backend (or both)?

    I've only tried with VLC.

    I'll do what I can to verify it.
