I uploaded a new theme yesterday and was not able to upload any screenshots / images. Tried again this morning and still not working. I can't add screenshots to this post either.

3D-Details Lite (Details & 3D-Details Replacement) View File This theme is replacing the both the Details & 3D-Details themes.

I really hope this thread can get back to beta testing and the bitching can be put into a different thread. I do hope LB/BB continues to run good on mechanical HDD's and thumb drives. Portable was a big part of the LB growth and I sure couldn't afford doing an 18TB ssd.

I've also had results like these, with installed K-Lite. I had to convert all my webm files to mp4. Pain in the rear, but no issues using WMP and it seems to work best for me, especially when it comes to any BB themes created in CTC

@faeran It's always included there, you just didn't notice before 😉 If you say so 😊

Thanks, there usually isn't anything in there concerning beta release. Nice to see it included now

Any changelog for the v13.21.1 beta?

Just wanted to add some additional information, I also tried using the Missing Media function and download missing videos and LB keeps crashing with this error: Value cannot be null.

I need someone to test something for me. I imported Arcade collection a while back but didn't include "Music" in the initial scrape. Now, when I try to select all games in the Arcade platform and use "Tools > Download > Update metadata and Media for Selected Games" then select only Music, it downloads nothing. I've tried single games and get same reults, nada Emu Sync finds and download. But it would be a nightmare renaming 2-3000+ files. I never tried re-importing the collection to see if it would grab the music files on initial import, only tried after the fact.

3D-Details View File This theme is similar to the Details (SE) with a lot of shadowing going on giving it a 3-D effect. I'm still tinkering with it. I tried shadowing the text wheels and it really looked great, but the theme is just way to slow.
