    Done @Retro808. Apologies if those comments shouldn't have been in this thread; as the 3D model box is currently a feature being actively developed in the current beta, I saw these issues as relevant to that ongoing development rather than as separate feature request to be looked at at a different time.

    Thanks for the reply @Retrofrogg

    Is not my question related to the new 3D model introduced in the beta? Are not these Newly added folders used to make them happen (that didn't exist until the beta release) ???:oo.O

  2. I am working on a theme using CTC and am having video issues with both beta 13.1 & 2 only in the Fullscreen Coverflow view. I am playing a "select item video", but have a secondary video to play if there is no "select item video". It only plays the secondary video for every game. However,  It works as expected in other view type like horizontal view, but in the Fullscreen Coverflow, nadda.

    I have also noticed that you can change nothing as far as the wheel itself, other than its size. Is this something @y2guru will need to look into or a LB thing due to the new 3D box features?

  3. Since adding "Box - Full" and "Spine", should not LaunchBox be creating new folders for them to download into? I found them, they are saving to the default folders, my bad

    I am not seeing them under the Folder tabs to change their location though, shouldn't I be?

    I do see them in the Tools > Option > Media section

  4. Does or I should say is the Update Retroarch feature in LB update the RA cores? If so is it working for anyone else?

    I just tried it and LB took a couple minutes for the bar at the bottom to go away, but when I looked at the file creation date of my core files, they were old. I ran it through RA and it updated them all just fine

  5. Neon Looking Platform Clear Logos for LB & BB

    View File

    I made these for one of my themes and thought I would share them with the community. They look decent in most Launchbox & Bigbox themes if you like the neon look.

    I really like them in @Mr. RetroLust's Neon Deluxe Arcade - LaunchBox Theme. I made them for 4k so they are on the bigger side, so you might want to make them smaller for certain themes

    Includes around 250 clear logos (Platforms, Platform Categories, and a few Playlists as well as some extras like TV Shows, Movies, Comics, etc.).

     

    Enjoy!

    This is correct. None of that has been tackled yet, so if you are seeing something that is worse, it wouldn't have come from this update. At this point, we recommend that you do not randomize your Screen Transitions, but use one that won't cause you issues. We still need to determine how we want to tackle this one internally, and it may not come with this next update.

    Okie Dokie, thanks for the reply. Wasn't sure if they were related or not. My bad.

    @Rlad @skizzosjt Can you let me know if you're stilling seeing issues with videos not playing when backing into a Platform or Game view?

    I am still seeing black screens if Screen Transition is being used in BB settings, if that helps any. Actually might be worse now. Especially the more hungry ones. Was taking 6-8 minutes before I seen it happen, but now might happen within 3 or 4 changes??:/

    My hunch is that it's the Screen Transition. Enable all your transitions, but keep Screen Transition to something like fade and let me know if you still see it.

    Hey Brian, you were correct. I tested but left Screen Transition to "none". Sick of trying to record the video over and over! :P

    It would usually take 6-8 minutes into recording (browsing thru BB) before it would happen if that helps ya'll duplicate it. Thank ya Sir for the reply

  9. @y2guru @faeran or anyone else that may know

    UPDATE:
    I want to add that it has something to do with the transitions in BB. After disabling them ALL, it no longer goes to a black screen.

    I seem to remember seeing something about similar issues some time back but I am having issues with BB going to a black screen after scrolling though BB after a few minutes. It's random, happens sometimes in platform view, sometime in a game view or even setting view? Once it happens, that view stays black until exit and restart of BB.

    I'm trying to make a video of a CTC theme update using OBS. But it happens without OBS running as well.

    Anyone know anything about this? I have the same issue with 12.4 but seems to go away with 12.3 (but since the theme was created in CTC, some features aren't working).

    Here is a sample video, when I try to enter the platform, I get black screen, when I press enter, it works as expected, when I go back, it goes back to black screen. In this example, when I go back again, to settings, it is also black screen.

    I un-plugged all additional monitors to eliminate that as well. Also tried both VLC and WMP in BB

    It is also happening with BB default theme. See 2nd log file

    Any ideas anyone?

    Auto-Populate Playlists can be built based on support level. You select Controller Support as the Field and then in the comparison column (middle) you can pick the support level you want there, then in the third column the name of the controller (or controller group) you wish to check that support level of.

    Awesome my friend, thank you for replying and I will give that a try!

  11. Hey All:

    I've created a badge similar to Steam's badge for Partial Controller support. I have tried different ways to get it work in LB, including trying to use @jayjay's app to create a custom badge with no success. Does anyone know how I can make this happen in LB (preferably without using custom fields)?

    I am using these settings in LB:

    Untitled.thumb.jpg.fd803b84cda30bb14a6956adcd72f32a.jpg

     

    Image I am trying to use (image is white transparency)

    PartialGamepadSupport.png.2ad2e4cd5b918fdda591bdb78dfa553a.png

    named it PartialGamepadSupport.png

    Since I haven't been able to get it to work, not sure if I did well with the image itself yet o.O

    Or is this something that LB folks will have to incorporate into LB for it to work since this field is already used within LB?

  12. Not seen this since the server move (SO much better BTW), but I was trying to upload a couple new screenshots to a existing theme.

    They were in png format (3840x2160, about 5-6mb), I tried 3 times with no success. Converted them to jpg and they uploaded. Just thought I would let ya'll know.

  13. I noticed something that may not be working. I had created a playlist called Recently Added. In the past BB would play videos from games in that playlist. It doesn't seem to be doing that now with the latest beta release. 

    What's funny, is another playlist I created called Recently Played, the videos work...

    I figured it out. It's the good ole VLC vs WMP issue iin BB.

    VLC isn't playing webm files from steam. Themes created in CTC have playback issues using VLC. Sure wish someone could find a resolution to this...:(xD

    Using Tools > Download > Update Metadata and Media.

    Just curious Jason, If I already had been using the Bezel Project previous to the LB addition, will this affect my cfg files the Bezel Project has already created or ones I may have edited?

    As far as I can see Ctrl + f makes  flashplayer_32_sa.exe go fullscreen. In LaunchBox go to the flashplayer_32_sa emulator setup and in the "Running Script" paste:

    WinWait, ahk_exe {{{StartupEXE}}}
    Sleep 500
    SendInput ^f
    
    $Esc::
    {
    WinClose, ahk_exe {{{StartupEXE}}}
    }

    This makes flashplayer_32_sa go fullscreen after launching a rom and exits it with Esc Depending on your PC you may have to alter Sleep 500 to Sleep 1000.

    That's exactly what I was needing, thank you @Your Friendly A.I Overlord

  16. The wife asked me to add a few flash games. I have the swf's and am able to run them in the flashplayer_32_sa.exe from adobe. 

    If I set up flashplayer_32_sa.exe (as an emulator) and use the swf files for the roms, am I able to do something in LB using a AHK to do a <CTRL>+F4 when or after it launches the swf?  The <CTRL>+F4 is just making the flash player go full screen after a game is launched in it.

    I meant <CTRL>+f O.o

    Sure.

     

    Right now the only intentional handling is to do things the way Flashpoint does natively, so there is no force full screen switch or anything like that. I didn't consider it much given the games in FP tend to me more desktop oriented, and less "couch gaming" (not to say you can't do it anyway).

    I'll keep in mind trying to implement such a thing, but it would likely be challenging given how there are numerous different sub-programs that Flashpoint uses behind the scenes, some of which keep getting changed, that all may or may not support fullscreen or at the very least require different methods to make them go fullscreen.

    There is a more universal approach I can attempt, but that comes with its own challenges.

    For now at least, your best bet would be to try to use an AHK script or the like, as you mentioned.

    NP, great app BTW, thank you for sharing it.

  18. Games do not launch full screen from BB, that is what I am trying to accomplish, weather by a switch, such as -f or -fullscreen (which I have tried both and neither work).

    I want to do this automatically when a game launches, not using the keyboard, maybe with an AHK script or something if there are no switches

    Thanks for replying :)
