  1. @y2guru, Okay Dave, I am figuring it out I think. When I turn off the video element in question (with the little eye in CTC), I am getting this or a game image:

    3.thumb.jpg.2b9f55e992914a654d6daa7789b1b937.jpg

    The bleed-thru is coming from the Opacity Mask I am using when trying to make the light affect around the bevel's screen.

    UPDATE: I added a black box in between the 2 videos and set it to only be visible when the Missing Video is present, it will work for now.

    Thanks Dave for sending me in the right direction

    User error, check your conditioning and ensure the Element "No Video" is above the video Element

    Ok, I swapped the order of the 2 videos and that sorta works. I can still see a transition of the image behind the video I am using for missing videos. And the image shows through the video like the opacity of the video used for the missing video is like 80% or something . . , but the opacity is 100% LOL.

  3. @y2guru / @faeran. Howdy fellers. I have ran into an issue and not sure if it is CTC or BB (v12.15.5-beta).

    I am editing a theme and I am getting a Screenshot - Gameplay image when I shouldn't be after I publish the theme.

    I have CTC (platform specific view for Horizontal View 1) displaying Item Video, then a condition to display a certain video if no Item Video is present. All looks and functions as it should in CTC.

    However when I publish the theme and if there is no Item Video present, it does display the other video as expected but then transitions a Screenshot - Gameplay image over top of it. I don't think I am calling a Screenshot - Gameplay image any where in the theme. o.O

    I've even went into the BB settings and turned all the Image stuff off to test it. . .

    This is a great theme, but you might want to clean up the downloads section on this. There are so many files to choose from, with a lot of random numbers, so it's a bit confusing to find the latest version in there

    Thanks for letting me know that @bundangdon. It was a mess O.o. I should update the sample (youtube) videos as well, they're kinda outdated now too.

  5. @y2guru Hey Dave. I have been trying to add an intro video to a theme. I dropped it into the ..\My Theme Projects\theme name\BigBox Media Overrides\Videos folder (named Startup.mp4)

    It copies over when I publish the theme, but it doesn't play when I start BB.

    Am I putting it in the wrong place or does this not work? 

     

  6. I suppose maybe you have missed the point, they were not created for you. These were created for a 5 year old child :P, that he has since outgrown. I simply shared them with a couple other thousand folks by uploading them.

    As far as the "ripoff" part? If you are referring to the theme that I think you are, I actually created them for his theme without the trademark thing on them. We actually worked together on his project as we shared ideas and had a good time with it. Then I did these for my grandson.

    That's one of the cool things about Launchbox. It is designed to make it ANY way you like it. Shoot, when you download LB for the very first time, there are instructions files within the download to help you do exactly that.

    Creating and sharing what we each contribute is what makes it fun dude!! Most of us that share stuff encourages folks to copy what we share and work with it to make something new or different to share back. 

    "I'm sorry you got so bent out of shape" - never happened to me.

    I shared a file with you, I encouraged you, heck, now maybe even challenge you to use it, edit it, modify it, whatever you want to do with it. Turn an existing idea into a new idea, ya know?. That is what most every developer on here does, we put the time into it and share back so others are inspired to take things even further. Have fun dude. :D.

    Tell ya what, since you are so unhappy with with my work, I offer you 100% refund!!!! :P:DxD

  7. @jot1132 Sorry you dislike them. I consider that to be more a "logo" or "trademark" so to speak rather than a watermark. I do all this stuff for my grandson, which was 5 when I did these and simply share it with the community. BTW, I changed my user name to The Papaw after doing all these.

    Been a couple years since I made these and I have since lost some of the data I used back then, but I think this was the template I used to make them. Feel free to use my template to make a set to your liking. I'm sure you can do a better job than these as I had never opened PP before making these. Hopefully you will share them with the community as well.

    I look forward to see what you come up with...

  8. Maybe one of the LB team can verify for sure, but you might rename them and add the "-01", "-02". "-03" and it might work, but not 100% sure. I.E. "Sega Genesis-01.mp4", "Sega Genesis-02.mp4", "Sega Genesis-03.mp4", It might also depend on the theme being used? Very good question.

    Where is that voice pack that sounds like Amazon Alexa?

    There isn't one here. These were created in the Amazon Development tools, the actual tool is call Polly. Amazon has added a couple voices and features since I did these. If you have a AWS account, they are real easy to make. you can check there to see if you can find more of what you are looking for. I made these and and added reverb to some of them using Audacity.

    Does this work for a vertical set up please?

    I can't say for sure. what type of device are you using? If you are able too, maybe you can test it and let me know how it turns out. I don't have anything to try it on, but you have me curious now...haha. I used the "Stretch" mode in CTC, so it isn't in 16:9 or 4:3 mode.

    Yep, it seems to be ok now :), i probably share the code about the maxplayers after few tests.

    About the ESRB, i like the idea to have the 2 ratings as now, just adding a not rated icon would complete it :) (the must would be to mix the news logo with the old ones :))

    Hey @Rincewind,  If you'd like, I can maybe take my USA colored ones and see if I can find a good set of the Euro ratings that would go good with them, and see if I can make ya a set if you'd like.

    @The Papaw I agree :)

    I've done this too about maxplayer in game; not sure if it can interest someone, i've taken the images in the AeonNox bigbox theme but I am not so satisfied about them. Maybe with some other images...

     

    I pm'd ya

    If you're interest in some USA colored ratings (they look good in your theme), here are some I made for a theme that you are more than welcome to use if you'd like. Or anyone else for that matters B|

    Colored Ratings.zip

    Here's what they look like:
