@Jason Carr I updated to 10.3 and it's working now. Thanks for the fix. I did notice that if the 7z.exe is not there then LB will not start and there is no debug log written. FYI. This is in 10.2-7 and 10.3 as well. Thanks for the help

Thanks Jason, I will update again and try again. Is there a way to make sure the backup job will not auto start when I launch LB?

Hi @Jason Carr it's the Create Data Backup under tools. I can see in procmon that the 7zip under the LB dir is running and reading all files from the drive and trying put them into a zip file. I can see all the reads and creates of the files. The hd is at 100% till I kill the processes. I did hit cancel after it started but it never stopped and just hung up the LB process. Every time I restart LB it starts 7zip again and starts touching the whole drive. So I renamed 7zip and then it would not kick off. Thanks

on beta 10.2-7 after clicking on the backup function it appears that LB is trying to backup the whole drive to itself. if you hit cancel it hangs. restarting LB just starts the process over. Is there a way in a config file to stop the backup process? What should it be backing up? Thanks

I will give that a try. Thank @larsherbaut for that.

That fixed it. Thanks @Kondorito and @Jason Carr Have a great Thanksgiving!

I made that change and it still is showing box art as the disk image. strange. in the game Ben10 on PS2 I don't have a disk image and only have the front box image.

Is there a way to use the view to show disks that also will not show double box art when the disk image is missing?

Ok well the issues was with the cart front image priority settings. Thanks @Jason Carr @Retro808 The setting was checked so I unchecked then checked it and hit ok. and then tested and it works now. I do have a few games that the disks are not working but might be missing images. I will fix those. Thanks again for the help!!

I tried about 6 themes and no luck. here is my settings.

I will try another theme and see,

Thanks I will do that.

I have checked and I see the disk media in the PS2 and GC images. I don't see any disks for any platform. I went through all of the view. i.e vertical 1-4 and so on. but no cigar.

I have looked at the PS2 and GC which I have disk media for but I have tried different views but still not dice... ?

I updated to 1.3 of this great theme but I still do not see the spinning disks games? is there a setting to turn those on? I have checked and the disk images are there just not showing up. Thanks for the help!

I am seeing in 9.0 when you have Platform selected that it is also show some playlists. for me it's the Capcom stuff. As you can see in the image the I have Platform selected but some playlists are still showing up and with different counts for Capcom Play System. One have 32 and the other 30. Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks and no worries. Just being a security person. I like to make sure I patch software that has known issues. Thanks Jason.

any word on a VLC update? thanks

VLC!! @Jason Carr I see that VLC in LB 9.0-Beta 4 is still at 2.2.6 any word on when 3.x would be used? with the latest exploit that effects VLC. https://thehackernews.com/2018/10/critical-flaw-found-in-streaming.html VideoLan as stated that this effects the client-side of VLC. I see that VLC is still on 3.0.4 and not updated for the issue yet. Is there a way to manually update VLC in LB. I have tried a few times but get nothing but errors. Thanks Jason for all of the great updates!

Just got this error while in LB 9.0 beta 1 and clicking on a video snap. I had looked at like 10 games before this one then got this error. I was on lemmings (US prototype)pe)

Thanks Jason. that makes sense.

I noticed in while downloading the media and meta data (so I can use the new create missing playlists) that it is only utilizing 2 processors. I have a AMD 1800X that has 8 cores. Should this process be multi threaded? Thanks

Ok I got it updated to 8.6 beta 9 and it seems to be working now. Thanks ?

Hello I am on LB 8.6 beta 6 and it will not run. I get 2 errors in the windows app evt logs. Application: LaunchBox.exe Framework Version: v4.0.30319 Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

Thanks

Can we also look at updating VLC to 3.03. it might fix some of those video bugs in ogg files. Thanks
