Not sure what to do with this error with Bigbox. I've been reinstalling Launchbox, going back to different versions, reinstalling my themes, updating game metadata, disabling and enabling views and filters. I also tried changing to different themes. It occurs 100% of the time when I go to certain systems in my menu selections. Even if I scroll into a game from that system in another (working) system menu, it will crash with this error. Seems to have just started randomly, these were working fine previously. Looking at the games in Launchbox works fine. (Inner Exception) Value cannot be null.

I have a startup video. Removing it though doesn't seem to impact the issue as it still fails to open. Seems even launching Launchbox causes it to close down also now, not just BigBox. Still seems Video related though, as it opens the main menu, some still art displays but I don't see any video previews playing and then the software just closes itself. Odd though because I think I was able to get at least Launchbox to open before. I might have changed the Video Playback though to Windows Media Player prior to Launchbox also having problems now. After the startup video in BigBox though, it would be playing Category videos, so it would still be attempting to play something and sounds video related. Installing 13.23 Beta 2 corrects all the issues still. Hope that helps!

Check your Updates folder in Launchbox, should contain a few previous versions there. Install overtop your existing install folder.

Having the same issue, no errors directly appearing. Reverted back to 13.23 Beta 2 which is working fine. Prior to updating to 13.23, was running into this error also in BigBox using Beta 3:

Hey everyone! Just finished rebuilding the new arcade panel! Currently configuring LEDBlinky but everything seems to be working nicely. 5x J-Stik with illuminated handles 50x Ultimarc GoldLeaf RGB Illuminated buttons 2x Ultimarc Ultimate IO boards U-Trak Illuminated Trackball (Blue) SpinTrak Spinner + now you can slap Cyclops butt on the panel for good luck Cables now can extend a good 10' or so back from the PC and since its entirely usb including the screen I can move it over to another pc. Neat!

The TV in this setup is a 70" 1080P TV I had leftover after I updated to a 4k and thought it would be perfect for this project The main thing for this setup is distance from the TV, the arcade panel moves and the cords go like 6' back or so, which is essential for this size. Also for Wiimotes and Lightguns requiring the distance. It actually is a 3D tv with glasses, so I was thinking of eventually working 3D into this somehow, might be neat! 27" is great depending on distance! Smaller TV's work great for older console games also by just not blowing up such a low res. I'm sure you would have a fantastic time sitting back with a controller with that! Honestly half the fun here is scrolling through the old games, looking at the art and just remembering good times!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to post about a personal project for LaunchBox \ BigBox I've been working on. https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/collection/games?n=Wildaces *UPDATED* - I've made quite a number of neat changes to the configuration! Leaning into the Launch Before and Launch After aspects of Launchbox to launch (thats alotta launch) a configuration swap script, then leaning into the Launch With area to use multiple emulators with multiple controllers, we have...

The system is connected through a Mackie ProFX10v3 10-Channel Mixer and an Pioneer SC-9540 receiver with Polk tower speakers. I've slowly been adding new videos, here's one going over the hardware if you're curious!
