    These are amazing! Any chance of reuploading that mahoosive file... Google drive says the file has gone?

    Thanks for all your hard work and sharing all this (especially the blank template - give a man a fish and all that!!).

    Cheers 🙂

    Sorry 'bout that. I will try to remember to see if I can get it uploaded here tonight and get the link changed. It will take it a few hours to upload, and I sometimes have issues uploading to LB. Thanks for kind words and letting me know!

    -Enjoy

    More information about "Big Box Voice Search"

    Posted

    I do tons of home automation, For example, I have big screen hanging on the wall over one of my PCs. I just grab a DS4 controller, tell Alexa to change the TV for games, then tell Alexa to tell my PC to play games. The first voice command changes the TV to the appropriate HDMI input, the second voice command runs a couple programs on my PC to change the primary monitor to the TV and the PC audio to the surround sound and then run some apps like DS4Windows and Bigbox.

    Couple questions or thoughts
    1. Do you plan on expanding the plugin, like being able to do more than search, like actually starting a game?

    2. Have you considered doing an Alexa skill to work with it? (Amazon is actually having a free seminar Jan.19th on how to use some of their new tools to add voice without coding experience to things like this if your interested)

    I love this and hope you continue developing it!!!

    I'm Having Trouble finding the game boy game boy color game boy advance videos

    Thanks for letting me know. There are actually over 20 of them missing for some reason. I will see if I can get the missing ones uploaded again. They may have gotten lost when LB migrated the website. Not sure how well updating an older post like this will go, but I will sure give it a whirl. :D

    I was able to upload a single zip file of ALL of them for you in the mean time. Again, thanks for letting me know.

    Yeah i get a ton of errors with the built in, mostly .xml files as well as i think a font.

     

     

    Give this a try for testing purposes. I compressed it with WinRar. Are you using Win10, Win11 or something else? Maybe we learned something here to be aware of

    Very nice theme.  The new platform wheel fixes the fishbowl.  Only issues i have is on the arcade platform and the wall view.  When i am on the text games list, there is a significant delay in the video starting when changing to a new game.  I tried other platforms and all are pretty much instant.  The wall view is very sluggish, navigation is slow and video and metadata are slow to load, but that could be my potato pc.

    Thanks and I appreciate your feedback, it helps me for improving the theme. I'm already working on tweaking things as far as speed and size. I found things can be sluggish as well with the Arcade Platform, especially if I delete the cache images in BB. It does get better after it rebuilds them, especially for large collections. Hopefully the next version will help with that, toes crossed:P

    No change.

    Sorry for the delay, had to run to town to get parts to fix water leak. What video resolution are you using? Maybe I can change mine to match yours and see if I can duplicate it somehow. 

    I think I might have found it, sorry for the trouble, try this file:

    PlatformWheel1FiltersView.xaml

    I hope this was it. Thanks for your help as well.

    I fixed it. The theme folder needed to be renamed to "Game On v1". Thanks. Very nice theme I must say.

    I had just checked that. Thank you for catching that for me! I will try to get it fixed and re-uploaded. And thank you!!

    The background videos aren't playing for me: and I'm running the latest version of LB. 

    That sucks. Looks like none of your artwork is showing correctly.

    As far as the themes artwork that isn't pulling images from metadata, can you check to see if it is in the correct places. There should be images in your ..\Launchbox\Themes\Game On v1\Media folders and in your ..\Launchbox\Themes\Game On v1\Images\Platforms\Clear Logo folder. Do you have images in any of these folders?

    I used to store the position of the element/properties panel but then I allowed it to be moved to another monitor and I removed the remember me position code, I’ll add to my list and see if it works with multi monitors

    Much appreciated, yes multi monitors is a much better option if you can't do both. Thank you Sir

    @y2guru Hey Dave, when you are editing, not sure what you call the thing, control panel? The thing the arrow is pointing to in the SS.

    Not sure if you can, but is it something you would be able to do and would you consider putting it into 2.3. Make it where it remembers its location after clicking the "save". Reason I ask, if you're working on something on the left side of the screen and click save, and you need to edit it again, everytime you start, you have to move it out of the way again. Thanks for considering. Sure can't wait for 2.3!!

    I created some custom Platform Clear Logos but cant get them to work right with CTC. I am trying to figure out the directory structure of CTC and where to drop them so when I publish the theme it places them in the ..\Launchbox\Themes\ThemeName\Images\Platforms\Clear Logo folder.

    Seems no matter what folder I put them in the ..\My Theme Projects\ThemeName\ they are never copied over when I publish, other then the Media folder (png format).

    I've tried creating folders that follow the paths that LB uses, such as Images\Platforms\PlatformName\Clear Logos.  I have spent better than 2 hours scrolling posts and videos. What am I missing? Any help would be appreciated.
