I added a bitbucket request for this feature.
https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/5757/feature-enhancement-add-theme-video-vs
Please vote here if you'd like to have the option of Theme Videos vs. Gameplay videos for each theme!

Love the new theme options in 11.7!
There's one thing it's missing though. Since 11.0, the option to select "Theme Video" or "Video Snap" was moved to the Options Menu in Launchbox. Therefore, it's not included in theme options in Bigbox. For me, this would be the most useful theme option to have, since Theme Videos look so much better in some themes than others.
Any chance of getting this added to the Theme Options in a future update?
Thanks!

You're not on any ban list. Check your debug log?
Debug 2020-06-17 09-34-48 AM.log
Here's my log. I'm not sure what I'm looking for here. Some games the scores are recording properly (Asteroids) and others are not (Bezerk, Galaxian). However, all these games recorded scores in the past, so they stopped working at some point. Thanks for any help!

Hey guys, I need some help with my MAME hi-score situation. I did not realize dipswitch checking had been implemented. I went into the dipswitches for Berzerk, not to cheat but because sometimes I must to get past the rom check screen. Anyway, I started noticing the hi-scores weren't recording anymore. I read-up on the issue, and figured that was the reason. I've tried deleting the .cfg file to no avail. In addition to Bezerk, it seems no other games will update their scores anymore.
If I've been placed on some kind of lockout for changing the dipswitch, is there anyway to reset this? Thanks!

This is possible, if your playlist is a manually made one select all the games (Control + A) and the do a bulk edit (Control + E) to change the platform. If your playlist is an auto generated one you will need to change it to a manual one by selecting all the all the games and then right clicking and Add to Playlist > New. Then repeat the bulk edit process from before.
Not using this method but you can re-import the games to the other platform you want them to be in.
Great, thanks for the feedback!

Hi, I'm wondering if there's a way to create a new platform from roms that are part of a playlist, and can those roms exist in two separate platforms?
The reason I'm asking -- I use Rocketlauncher for MAME, but I'd like to use new the MAME High Score features, so I need to create another platform that would use MAME as the main emulator. Also, I'd love to start with a list of favorites so it doesn't have to be my entire MAME collection. I don't see an obvious way to do this but I haven't used LaunchBox recently and might be forgetting a workaround.
Thanks for any advice!

I'm not seeing anything in the logs related to MAME high scores at all, so for one reason or another it's not recognizing your games as MAME games. What did you call your platform with all the MAME games in it? What version of MAME are you using and what did you call your MAME emulator in LaunchBox?
Oh, I see. It's because I have Rocketlauncher set as the emulator. When I switch it to MAME, it displays the high score. I just read up on Rocketlauncher not being supported for high scores. Makes sense. Thanks for your help!

For anyone reporting issues, please update to the latest beta. There are fixes to both the high scores in LaunchBox and an update to hi2txt, which should fix many issues. Let me know of any issues that you're still experiencing with the latest beta release (10.15-beta-6).
Also, just as a reminder, keep in mind that we won't be able to help with much of anything without a debug log attached. Please see the first post of this topic for instructions.
Hi Jason. I updated to the latest beta, but still no luck. Again, it's not displaying any high scores. Also, when I sort by "Mame High Scores Supported" and select "yes" it says "no results found." Attached is the log. Thanks for your help!

Hey everyone, I've been slow in updating Launchbox recently and just noticed this awesome new feature. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get it to work (high scores are not displaying) even after reading all the info in this thread. I'm using a pretty old version of MAME (.184) but I think it's an official version. I saw my mame.ini and plugin.ini were in the .ini folder, not the primary folder. I've moved them, but the high scores are still not displaying. Anything else I might be missing? I haven't done anything with MAME config files in years so I'm a bit slow with all this. Thanks!

Looks great!

Thanks for the opportunity to vote on new features. Great stuff.

Would this also work for individual game videos?

Ah, yeah. I see that now. It doesn't look like there's a good solution for that particular query currently. I'll add that to my to-do list.
Hey @Jason Carr, would it be possible to add "Improved Auto-Populate" options to the new poll? Seems there is some interest in it.

Alright y'all, I've been pretty preoccupied with Zomb's Lair stuff lately, but I'm gearing up to get back to work on this. The plan is to do update packs of say 200 games at a time. I've got about 60 new ones done already.
If anyone has any specific requests for the first pack, let me know. The current list of requests is:
Forbidden Forest
Head Over Heels
M.U.L.E.
Pharaoh's Curse
Pogo Joe
Pool of Radiance
Survivor
The Seven Cities of GoldRequest: David's Midnight Magic.
Thanks Zomb, loving this collection!

If a Platform Category or Platform doesn't have a video, is there a way to show a picture in the window instead? Thanks!

How do you import them?
Place them in the Data - Playlists folder while Launchbox is closed. When you re-open they should appear.

I think it would be really helpful to have a hotkey to go straight to the options screen, rather than having to backspace multiple times. Ideally, it would take you to the specific options screen you were previously on. If you press again, you'd go back to your current platform or playlist screen. That way, you could quickly toggle between game list and option screen to make tweaks. As it is now, it's quite a lot of keypresses to make multiple changes in the options.
I created a bitbucket item here:
https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/4842/feature-request-bigbox-hotkey-for-options
Thanks for considering!

Do you mind updating the theme on the forums as well as the theme manager? Unfortunately I can’t use the manager since it would delete all the special artwork I have installed. Thanks again for this great theme!
-
Is there any code that would force a theme to use gameplay video over the theme video, even if Bigbox settings has "prioritize Theme Video" checked? There are certain themes that look much better with one or the other, but it's a pain to switch back and forth in the settings menu.
Thanks for any help!

If you want to incorporate this into your existing library, you'll want to follow the instructions I posted above (copied below). I would not suggest trying to pick and choose pieces to move over. There are a lot of moving parts that you're going to have a hard time replicating from scratch.
Every single game, demoscene demo, sid track, and magazine is setup with its own .bat, all of which use relative paths. The only thing you need to do is start the .bat and it will do the rest for you. As far as LB is concerned, these are just like starting a PC game. So long as everything is copied over and where it's supposed to be, it'll work.
Gotcha. I can see how moving specific parts would be difficult. Thanks for letting me know!

This is a amazing! Thanks for sharing. I was already using your C64 Dreams list as my C64 favorites in Launchbox, but I'm inspired by the work you put into this, and am trying to port your improvements into my existing system. I've been using CCS64 as my emulator, but am interested in getting it to work in Retroarch. So far so good -- I installed your .cfg file and games seem to be loading properly, screen resolution is correct, etc. (and it's nice to have a working pause menu via Rocketlauncher). I figured out using the * on numlock to access the function menu, etc. The biggest issue I'm having is figuring out how to get your control system working with the joystick. I'm not sure how to import the input remap, etc. Also, where would I put the AHK files, and finally, how to I install Antimicro so it's working properly? Hope this all makes sense. Thanks again!

Would it be possible to have a view with box art but no cartridge/disk below it?
Also, playlist question. I have one playlist (playlist A) that, when viewed in the text view, it changes the background to the platform of the selected game. Which is great! On another platform (Platform B) this doesn't work. I wonder if the difference is playlist A doesn't have a background made for it (so it uses the generic background) but the other does. At any rate, my question is, is there a way to have a playlist of different platform games switch to the background of that platform's game? Hope this makes sense.
Thanks!

Hi @alnyden. Great to hear. Using the new version of the themer plugin should fix a lot of the plugin related issues you may have been having. My guess about the video problem is that it's related to this theme forcing to use WMP instead of VLC. Are you able to try some testing of this theory by installing a basic version of k-lite codec pack and seeing if that helps?
Let me know if that helps. If not, I can find another solution.
Fixed! Thanks for the solution!

Is there an option to change this setting for a specific platform or theme?
